What is the post-purchase email sequence?
The post-purchase email flow is a series of automated emails sent to customers a few days after receiving their order to collect feedback by asking them to review the product on the platform your shop is hosted on. Post purchase email sequence will also help you express gratitude, nurture your customer relationship, and gain loyalty.
