The post-purchase flow is the unsexy revenue driver most brands underinvest in. It runs once per customer, sends 4-6 emails, and quietly compounds repeat purchase rate. Done right, it adds 10-15 percent to repeat orders without discount erosion.
Repeat customers are your most profitable. The post-purchase flow shapes whether a first-time buyer becomes a customer for life or churns after one order. This is the highest-LTV email program you run.
Not Order Fulfilled. Fulfilled lags by days; you want to engage while excitement is fresh.
Track-your-order link, expected delivery, what to expect in the box.
How to use the product, common questions, video tutorial. Reduces returns by 20-30 percent in some categories.
Photo of their product, one-click rating widget. This drives your reviews flywheel.
Not the same product. Adjacent products in the same routine.
Only for products with predictable use cycle. Subscriptions or one-time replenishment offers.
If they buy again, exit the flow and trigger a different sequence for repeat customers.
Powers segmentation. First-time vs repeat customers get different messages forever.
Record your screen while performing the klaviyo post-purchase flow. ReccordSOP turns the recording into a SOP with timestamped screenshots. When your live setup changes, drift detection flags it.
Generate this SOP freeFour to six. Below four and you miss the review and cross-sell windows. Above six and engagement drops.
Only the replenishment message can include a small discount (5-10 percent). Earlier emails should focus on value and education, not price.
Day 21-30, after the review request has succeeded. Customers who reviewed are more likely to refer.
I built ReccordSOP after watching too many DTC ops teams lose months to undocumented workflows. These SOPs are battle-tested with Shopify operators running $1M to $50M brands.
