About Drip
What Drip Does
Drip is an ecommerce email marketing and automation platform that helps online stores send personalized emails and automate revenue-driving campaigns. It connects to your store, uses real customer data (browsed, bought, likely next purchase) to tailor messages, and includes pre-built workflows like welcome series, abandoned cart, and win-back.
Problem It Solves
Many email tools are either too simple for ecommerce (like Mailchimp for some) or too restrictive and complicated (like Klaviyo for some). Drip aims to be powerful yet simple: no specialist needed, with support that answers in 2 minutes on live chat and email responses in under 1.6 hours. It solves segmentation pains by building dynamic segments that update automatically from purchase and browsing behavior.
Who It's For (and Not For)
Drip is best for ecommerce teams (stores on Shopify, WooCommerce, etc.) that want advanced segmentation, personalization, and automation without hiring a dedicated email specialist. It's also good for those migrating from other platforms—Drip offers free migration. It's likely not ideal for non-ecommerce businesses or those needing a very basic, low-cost email tool for simple newsletters.
Real Use Cases
Use cases include: abandoned cart recovery, post-purchase follow-ups, win-back campaigns, and personalized product recommendations. For example, Spring Copenhagen increased average order value by 32.24% after switching from Mailchimp to Drip, and Levels Health attributes 30% of revenue to Drip campaigns.
