A few weeks ago during the HubSpot product keynote at Inbound 17, a supercharged integration with Shopify was announced.
As developers who work in Shopify and HubSpot on a daily basis, this was an important announcement. Our dual user partners have long after the benefits an integration could provide to their strategies and have had to bootstrap their own solutions.
And as Shopify has become one of the dominant platforms within the ecommerce market, it’s a no brainer that customers of both platforms were asking for a HubSpot integration for Shopify. The platforms together will provide dual users with tools to form a fully integrated inbound strategy.
Benefits of the HubSpot Shopify Integration
The benefits of this integration are simple, you get to easily connect your ecommerce data to your inbound marketing efforts. You will be able to leverage HubSpot workflows, emails and reporting tools to up level your marketing and remarketing strategies.
Highlights include:
- Automatic sync of customer and conversion data

How to get started with the integration
The integration is still in BETA stages, though it should be noted that a HubSpot Shopify integration is offered through Groove. This new integration will be native to HubSpot.
As the integration rolls out from limited beta we will update this space with new information.
