matching the records

How Shopify and Zendesk records line up

Shopify and Zendesk both store the customer's email address. askotter lowercases and trims it on both sides before matching, so the same person shows up as one customer across the two tools.

Both tools can hold a phone number. Numbers are normalised to one international format before matching, which catches customers who never gave an email.

Shared between the two: the customer email address and the phone number.

Zendesk is on the integration roadmap, so the matching described here starts when that connector ships.

What each tool sees on its ownShow less

Shopify on its own

Shopify sees the order and the landing page. It has no view of the ad impressions, emails or searches that came before that session.

Timing. Shopify writes each order the moment it is placed, including the landing page and referring site of the session that bought.

Access. Read-only access through the Shopify Admin API, approved from the store admin.

Zendesk on its own

Zendesk sees the complaint and how it was handled. It cannot see what the customer is worth or whether they bought again.

Timing. Zendesk timestamps every ticket, reply and status change.

Access. The Zendesk Support API with a read-only token.
