When you first get OSI Affiliate Software, one of the things that we recommend that you do is email all your customers and let them know that you just launched a referral program.

To make this easy for you to do we have provided an email template that you can use with your email newsletter provider. If you have Klaviyo, you may use it to send your customers an invite to join your Shopify referral program.  If you don't have a Klaviyo account, you may sign up here.

Follow the steps below to set it up.

Step 1. Notify support@osiaffiliate.com to enable this free feature to your account.

Step 2. Log in to your Shopify admin account and click Apps then the button of Shopify App Store.

Step 3. Search for Klaviyo and click the Add app button.

Step 4. Scroll down and click Install app.

Step 5. Create or Log in to your Klaviyo account. Then, complete the integration process.

Step 6. Once the integration has been completed, all of your Shopify customer data will be synced to your Klaviyo account. 

Step 7. Click List & Segments and select a Segment that you want to send an invite to join your referral program.

Step 8. Click Manage Segment then Export Segment to CSV.

Step 12. Prepare your CSV file of your customers or potential affiliates exported from Step 9.

Step 13. Upload your email list CSV file and the system will download an exact file with an added column for their auto signup link. Rename the first column to 'Sign up link' for easy reference.

Step 14. Go back to your Klaviyo account. Click List & Segments and select Create List/Segment. Choose List.

Step 15. Name the list of your potential affiliates.

Step 16. Choose Upload Contacts.
