Detailed Analysis

Proposed Solution

Simulate user journeys to detect capture points (checkout email step, shop accounts, newsletter forms), validate consent flags, and verify automations in Shopify Email/Klaviyo/Omnisend with deliverability checks.

Target Audience

Merchants using Shopify Email or ESPs that want better abandoned revenue recovery

Competitive Landscape

ESP-native diagnostics (limited), Littledata (analytics focus), none specialized for capture auditing

Implementation Notes

Browser-based tester embedded in Admin; instrument storefront to log capture events and consent; map to Shopify customer/checkout objects; verify automation triggers via API; send test events to ESPs; report missing consent, blocked scripts, or theme issues; provide fixes and code snippets; track open/click rates via UTM tagging.
