Case study
How Skinfix used Ordergroove data in Klaviyo
Skinfix runs subscriptions on Ordergroove. With agency Verbal+Visual, they connected Shopify, Ordergroove, and Klaviyo through Littledata, so their checkout, cart, and browse abandonment flows reached more shoppers.
Because Littledata integrates automatically with Ordergroove, Skinfix could also enrich Klaviyo profiles with subscriber status and LTV. The result was 6x Klaviyo flow revenue and a 460% increase in browse abandonment revenue.
