Sender is an eCommerce-focused email marketing and marketing automation platform designed to help online businesses convert subscribers into customers and increase repeat purchases. The platform combines email marketing, SMS, automation, segmentation, popups and forms with eCommerce functionality, making it particularly suitable for brands that want to automate customer communication throughout the buying lifecycle.
For eCommerce businesses, Sender goes beyond traditional newsletter software by connecting customer and purchase behaviour with automated marketing workflows. Brands can create campaigns and automated journeys based on actions such as signing up, abandoning a cart, purchasing a product, engaging with an email or reaching specific customer-value criteria.
Native WooCommerce Integration
Sender provides a dedicated native WooCommerce integration through its official WordPress plugin. Once installed and connected using a Sender API token, the integration can transfer customer email addresses, track cart activity and capture purchase events from the WooCommerce store.
The integration supports key eCommerce automation triggers including Cart Is Abandoned and Product Is Purchased. Customer and guest email addresses can also be automatically added to selected subscriber groups, making it easier to build targeted segments and customer journeys.
Sender’s WooCommerce integration can therefore connect store activity directly with email and SMS automation, allowing brands to react to customer behaviour rather than relying exclusively on scheduled campaigns.
Key Features for eCommerce
Email Marketing
Create newsletters, promotional campaigns and personalised eCommerce emails using a drag-and-drop editor, responsive templates, scheduling and segmentation.
Marketing Automation
Build automated workflows triggered by customer actions such as sign-ups, purchases, abandoned carts and link clicks. Sender supports conditional logic, delays, branching and multiple communication steps.
Abandoned Cart Recovery
Automatically identify abandoned carts and send follow-up emails or SMS messages designed to bring shoppers back to complete their purchase. This is one of the key eCommerce use cases enabled by the WooCommerce integration.
Post-Purchase Automation
Use purchase events to automatically send thank-you messages, product education, review requests, cross-sell campaigns and other post-purchase communications.
SMS Marketing
Combine email and SMS within automated customer journeys, allowing brands to use multiple channels within the same workflow. SMS can be triggered by events such as abandoned carts, purchases and subscriber activity.

Why Sender Is a Strong Choice for eCommerce
Sender is particularly well suited to eCommerce brands looking for a focused and accessible alternative to larger all-in-one marketing platforms. Its combination of email marketing, SMS, automation, segmentation and native eCommerce integrations allows brands to build automated customer journeys without requiring a complex marketing technology stack.
For WooCommerce businesses, the native integration is especially valuable because store activity can directly trigger marketing workflows. Instead of treating email marketing as a separate promotional channel, Sender allows brands to connect campaigns with actual customer behaviour — from the first subscription through abandoned cart, purchase, repeat purchase and reactivation.
This makes Sender a strong option for customer acquisition, conversion optimisation and retention marketing, particularly for small and growing eCommerce brands that want practical automation capabilities without the complexity of an enterprise marketing platform.
