Customer segments
Businesses receive a lot of orders from customers daily. It’s difficult for them to retarget their customers manually or send them order-related notifications depending on their purchase category.
Customer segments help you to send broadcasts to a particular group of customers based on their purchasing category or pattern.
By default, you get a set of 8 system-created segments based on the RFM model.
RFM model is a marketing tool to analyse the customer’s purchasing patterns or habits.
The RFM model has 3 important quantitative factors:
- Recency - How recently a customer's purchase was made.
- Frequency - The frequency with which a client makes a purchase.
- Monetary Value - The amount of money spent by a consumer on purchases.
This option is available under Store>Customers

You have an option of using the default system-generated segments, or you can create your own customer segments based on your use case.

You can also add ‘CUSTOM’ conditions depending on your intended output. The expressions will function from the left-hand side to the right-hand side. Any value other than the parameters and the expression will not work.

The customer segments created by you would be under the segment type ‘CUSTOM’, and the default system-created segment would be under segment type ‘SYSTEM’.
‘Count’ is the number of customers included in that particular segment.
Note - System Segments auto-refreshes and updates the count data every 12 hr.
The User-Created Segment (i.e. CUSTOM) needs to be refreshed manually by clicking on the ‘Refresh Segment’ button under the “⋮” button.
