Sendy Shopify, Set Up Once and Checked Properly

A Sendy Shopify setup adds buyers to a self-hosted newsletter that sends through Amazon SES. Zapier has templates that add new Shopify orders or abandoned carts to Sendy as updated subscribers, and a tutorial filters on newsletter consent before mapping name and email. Sendy needs its own server and an SES limit above the default 200 a day. We connect, filter and test, from $390.

  • Shopify buyers added to Sendy lists with consent filters
  • Amazon SES connection and sending limit checked
  • Abandoned-cart subscribers routed separately
  • Test log and a recorded handover

Our track record

450+ Shopify Stores Launched Since 2015. Your Sendy Connection Gets the Same Care.

A connection between Shopify and Sendy pays for itself solely when the data is right on everyday orders. Through ten years of building stores, we have learned where orders, customers and products most often break an integration, and we design around it.

Who this is for

Who Needs a Careful Sendy Shopify Build

Self-hosting saves money and adds responsibility. These are the cases we build for.

You are a good fit if
  • Your orders come through Shopify
  • Sendy is, or will be, in your toolset
  • You would rather pay once than by the hour
  • You can review a test run with us
  • Stores wanting cheap newsletters

    Sendy is a one-time purchase with SES sending at about $0.10 per thousand emails, per one article.

  • Stores needing consent

    A filter adds only customers who agreed to the newsletter.

  • Stores with larger lists

    SES limits start at 200 emails a day, so a higher limit must be requested.

  • Stores with abandoned carts

    A separate template adds abandoned-cart contacts as updated subscribers.

  • Teams self-hosting

    Sendy needs config.php edits, a server and an SES connection.

  • Stores with duplicates

    Update-subscriber templates avoid duplicate records.

Problems solved

Sendy Shopify: Six Faults We Fix First

Sendy setups fail on SES limits and consent. These are the six faults we fix.

The problem

SES in sandbox

The outcome

Sending is capped at 200 a day. We request a higher limit.

The problem

No consent filter

The outcome

Non-subscribers are added. We filter.

The problem

Duplicate subscribers

The outcome

Repeat buyers duplicate. We use update.

The problem

Server misconfigured

The outcome

config.php is wrong. We check.

The problem

Bounces ignored

The outcome

SES reputation suffers. We handle bounces.

The problem

No handover

The outcome

Server details are lost. We document them.

Sendy and Shopify: How the Connection Is Wired

All connections follow the same path. The store sends an event, we check it against what Sendy already holds, the right record is written and the change is logged where your marketing team can see it. The picture shows the pieces we connect and test before handover.

Process and timeline

How We Build Your Sendy Integration, Step by Step

Six stages, in order. Nothing touches live data until you have seen it work on a copy, and your calculator choices decide how long each stage takes.

  1. 1

    Brief and scope

    We start with questions: what you sell, how Sendy fits your day and which events matter. Reading through your orders and subscribers shows where the flow begins and what it must never touch.

  2. 2

    Access and connection

    We ask for the smallest access that works, via an API key or an OAuth sign-in. A live read confirms it before we build on top of it.

  3. 3

    Map and rule

    The map covers email address, list, name and custom field; we put the conflict winners and blank rules in writing.

  4. 4

    Build in a copy

    A copy comes first: test data only, a visible plan and, where helpful, a recorded run.

  5. 5

    Test on real cases

    We run a new subscriber, a first order and an unsubscribe, then refunds and edits, and verify each outcome against what the store shows.

  6. 6

    Go live and hand over

    Once you approve, we switch the flow on, watch the first runs and hand over notes, a diagram and a short recorded tour.

Six Safeguards Built Into Every Sendy Integration

Integrations move customer data between systems, so mistakes are costly. These practices come with every package and explain why a fixed fee can still be a careful one.

Failures raise a flag

Failed runs notify a named person with the order and the cause, so silence cannot hide a problem.

Nothing sent without approval

No message to a customer goes live until you have read and approved it.

A written definition of done

Done means the flow copes with a new subscriber, a first order and an unsubscribe, and the results are written in the log.

Build in a copy, never live

Everything is built and tested on test data, so your live orders and subscribers stay untouched until you approve.

Plain scope, two revision rounds

You see the price before paying. Changes within scope go through two structured rounds, so a tweak never becomes an hourly invoice.

Secrets kept in a vault

We store tokens and keys in a vault and never paste them into documents or messages.

Interactive price calculator

Price Your Sendy Shopify

Pick a package, answer three short questions and add any extras. Your total and delivery window update as you click, with nothing hidden until checkout.


Choose your packageRequired

Bigger packages add more triggers, more safety and more checks. The calculator shows the price and days for each choice.

The essentials: Sendy connected, one flow built to add the subscriber to the list, tested end to end.

  • Secure Sendy connection via an API key or an OAuth sign-in
  • Trigger for the event: a customer subscribes
  • Email address, list and name matched across both tools
  • A unique key on every write
  • Tested with a new subscriber and a first order
  • A log of the tests and a short recorded tour

The core set: Sendy will add the subscriber to the list; add the buyer to the customer list; remove the subscriber from every list, protected by filters and retries.

  • Everything in Single Workflow
  • Events handled: a customer subscribes; an order is paid; a customer unsubscribes
  • Custom field and custom fields mapped
  • Filtering on tags, countries and totals
  • Retries and failure alerts
  • Checks on a new subscriber, a first order and an unsubscribe

Everything in the core package plus two-way sync, a history load and two weeks of monitoring.

  • Everything in Core Workflows
  • Two-way updates with per-field winners
  • History load of previous subscribers
  • Monitoring for 14 days after launch
  • Roles and permissions reviewed
  • Team runbook in plain English

If your Sendy setup depends on custom code, a private API, an on-premise system or more than one store, tell us about it and we will quote it as a fixed-price project.

Roughly how many orders do you take each month?Required

Busier stores need extra queuing and a longer test.

Which way should data flow?Required

Two-way sync needs conflict rules for every shared field.

Is your Sendy account empty or full of data?Required

Records already there must be matched first.

How soon do you need it live?Required

Standard follows the schedule your other choices set. Pay to move up the queue and go live sooner.

Optional extrasOptional

Each one begins switched off. Turn on what you need, watch the total, switch it back off.

Why Store Design Expert

Why Hire Us to Connect Sendy and Shopify

You are paying for judgement and for a result you can inspect, not for hours.

Notes a colleague can follow

We document what moves where and which settings we picked, so the next developer starts informed.

Experience since 2015

More than 450 Shopify stores have passed through our hands, so we have met most of the quirks that interfere with integrations.

Tested on your real cases

We check against your own cases, like a new subscriber, a first order and an unsubscribe.

Safety designed in

Every build includes retries, alerts, unique keys and narrow access; none are paid extras.

We live inside Shopify

Orders, refunds, edits and metafields are daily work for us. That is a different skill from knowing the menus of Sendy.

A price you can plan around

You see the cost and extra days for each choice in the calculator. Any Sendy subscription is billed by Sendy, so check what it charges today.

What we need to get started

What We Need From You to Begin

The list is short. Most owners have everything ready in a day.

Approve a collaborator request

Already selling? Send the store address and accept the request we raise. You stay the owner, we see only what the role permits, and you can remove us at any time.

Starting from nothing? We build first

We can start in our own Partner account, set up the store and the Sendy link, then transfer ownership to you. A Shopify plan is chosen at the end.

Or share a staff login

If it is simpler, a staff login will do. We prefer the collaborator route because it is revocable in one click and no password changes hands.

Your Sendy access

You can create the account and invite us, or we can create it with your email. In both cases you hold the owner role, and we connect using an API key or an OAuth sign-in.

Sample records

Send two or three typical records from each side, or tell us where to find them. Real examples show us how your data is actually shaped.

A decision-maker

Tell us who approves the plan and the test, and which rule should win when Sendy and Shopify disagree.

We never need your owner password or payment details. Access is limited, logged and removable at any time.
