Origami is an AI-powered B2B lead generation and outreach platform with a built-in email sequencer. If you already followed our guide on how to build a list of Shopify Store Owners on LinkedIn, you have a verified list sitting in your Origami dashboard — names, email addresses, phone numbers, and rich company data. Now you need to turn that list into real conversations. This guide walks you through exactly how to refine, segment, and email those Shopify owners with a 3-touch sequence you can copy today — all sent directly from Origami, no CSV exports, no external SMTP setup.

Step 1: Build the List in Origami (If You Haven't Already)

Even if you’ve got a list from the parent post, here’s the prompt that started it — so you understand the quality of leads you’re working with:

Find Shopify store owners in the US with 5-200 employees, active on LinkedIn, preferably founders, CEOs, or heads of ecommerce. Get their verified work email, phone number, job title, company name, company size, and any technology stack signals like Klaviyo, Recharge, or Bold.

Origami takes that plain-English description, searches the live web, chains data sources, enriches every contact, and qualifies them — all within minutes. You get a downloadable, real-time list that includes: full name, LinkedIn profile URL, validated email (no catch-all guesses), direct dial phone, title, company, employee count, tools used, and a lead score. The free plan gives you 1,000 enrichment credits — no credit card — which is enough to build and test a small batch. Paid plans start at $29/month. And yes, the email sequencer is fully included on every paid plan; you only pay for the credits you burn enriching data, not for sending. You could sequence 500 Shopify owners for the cost of the subscription.

If you’re here from the LinkedIn guide, your list is already waiting in the “My Lists” section. Skip ahead to Step 2.

Step 2: Refine and Qualify Your List for Email

A raw list of “Shopify store owners” gets you surface-level contacts. To make your sequence convert, you must qualify. In Origami, open your list and use the filtering panel. Run these checks:

Remove Unqualified Leads

Role mismatch: Drop anyone with titles like “Intern,” “Web Developer,” or “Customer Support” unless they’re explicitly the ecommerce decision-maker. Keep Founder, Co-founder, CEO, CMO, VP of Ecommerce, Director of Marketing, Head of Growth.
Invalid emails: Origami already validates, but if you see a “low confidence” tag, remove it. You want a 95%+ deliverability rate.
Disconnected LinkedIn profiles: If the LinkedIn profile is no longer active, the person has likely moved on.

Segment for Relevance

Company size: Segment by employee count. A founder of a 4-person DTC brand cares about different things than a VP of ecommerce at a 200-person omnichannel retailer. For the sequence below, we’ll target the 5–50 employee range — small enough they feel every lost sales dollar, big enough they have budget.
Tech stack signals: If Origami pulled “Klaviyo” or “Yotpo,” you know they’re invested in conversion tools. That’s a buying intent trigger. Create a sub-list of “Klaviyo users” and tailor the angle.
Location: Focus on English-speaking markets first (US, UK, Canada, Australia) unless you have localized sequences.

What “Qualified” Looks Like

A qualified Shopify store owner for cold email:

Holds a title that directly influences revenue or tech stack.
Works at a company with 5–100 employees and a clear Shopify Plus or advanced Shopify presence.
Has a LinkedIn profile that references scaling challenges, app integrations, or recent funding.
Email address is a work domain (not Gmail) and verified.

A quick manual scan of their LinkedIn activity can surface a hook: “they posted about a surge in abandoned carts” — save that as a note inside Origami (you can add custom fields to any contact). The sequencer can pull those notes into personalization tokens later.

Once refined, select the qualified segment and move to Step 3.

Step 3: Create the Email Sequence — Exact 3-Touch Templates

Origami gives you two ways to build your sequence:

Paste your own templates: Write your multi-step messages, set delays, and launch. You control every word.
Let the AI agent write it: Ask Origami’s agent to generate a personalized 3-day sequence for all leads automatically. The agent uses each lead’s profile data — title, company, industry — so every message feels custom.

I recommend starting with option 1 for full control, then A/B test the AI-generated version later. Below is the exact 3-touch sequence we’ve run with ecommerce service providers and SaaS tools targeting Shopify owners. It works because it references concrete Shopify pain points, stays under 90 words, and uses a human tone — never “Check out our platform.”

Touch 1: Day 1 — Cold Email

Subject: , quick question about ’s Shopify store
Preview: Saw your LinkedIn profile — thought I’d reach out

Hi ,

I came across ’s Shopify store and saw you’re running things at the top. I bet managing inventory, scaling paid ads, and reducing cart abandonment keeps you up at night.

We help Shopify owners like you fix the leaky funnel using AI — no dev work, no massive retainers.

Worth 10 minutes to see if there’s a fit?

Cheers,

Why it works: Opens with a specific observation (“saw you’re running things”), names three universal Shopify pain points, and frames the value as tool/process, not a sales pitch. Length: 86 words.

Touch 2: Day 3 — Follow-up (Different Angle)

Subject: , one thought re: Shopify optimization
Preview: A quick win one of our users found…

,

Last week I mentioned we help Shopify stores like overcome cart abandonment and poor conversion.

One store we work with saw a 30% lift in recovered carts by switching from manual emails to AI-triggered sequences — zero extra work from their team. The CRM already tracks who bounced and why.

Would you want to see how that setup looks in 15 minutes?

Cheers,

Why it works: It introduces a specific, tangible outcome (30% lift) from a relatable competitor, keeps the ask low-friction (see the setup, not a demo), and ties back to the original pain.

Touch 3: Day 7 — Final Breakup

Subject: Closing the loop,
Preview: No worries if the timing isn’t right

,

I’ve reached out a couple times about improving ’s Shopify conversion funnel. I don’t want to be a pest.

If solving cart abandonment, scaling revenue, and automating retention isn’t your priority in Q2, no hard feelings — I’ll step back.

But if you’re open to a quick look at how AI can lift your store’s numbers without adding staff, reply “yes” and I’ll send a case study that matches your setup.

Either way, best of luck with the store.

Cheers,

Why it works: Respectful, low-pressure, and offers a frictionless next step (reply “yes” to receive a relevant case study). That soft ask often gets a “Sure” or a “Not now, but keep in touch” — both keep the conversation alive.

Customization Tokens

Origami’s sequencer supports , , , phone number, and any custom field you’ve added. If you saved a LinkedIn post snippet as a custom note, you can insert it with to reference, for example, their latest product launch.

Step 4: Send the Sequence Directly from Origami

This is where Origami separates itself from pure list-building tools. You don’t export your contacts to another sequencer. You launch the entire multi-step campaign right inside the same dashboard where you built and qualified the list.

Setting Up the Sequence

With your qualified segment selected, click “Send Sequence.”
Choose “Custom sequence” and paste each of the three templates. Assign the emails to Touch 1, Touch 2, and Touch 3.
Set delays: Touch 1 sends immediately; Touch 2 three days later; Touch 3 four days after that (Day 7). Origami automatically spaces them based on your schedule.
Configure open, click, and reply tracking — all on by default.
Set automatic un-enrollment: if a lead replies, they stop the sequence instantly. No one gets a breakup email after they just booked a call.
(Optional) Add a BCC to your CRM — Origami can forward replies to your inbox while still tracking them in-app.

Hit “Launch.” The sequencer is free on paid plans; you pay only for the credits you used to enrich these leads. No per-email sending fees, no stitching together Mailgun with your CSV.

Tracking and Context

Once live, the “Sequences” tab shows you:

Open & click rates per touch: Identify which message needs subject line tweaks.
Reply feed: Inline, you see the full conversation and the prospect’s enriched profile — title, company, tech stack — right next to the message. So when you reply, you already know why you reached out and what matters to them.
Lead scoring re-evaluation: High-positive replies (e.g., “Yes, send me the case study”) get automatically flagged as “Hot.”

The dashboard also keeps a history of every sequence you’ve run, so you can compare campaigns (A/B test subject lines) over time.

What Response Rates to Expect

For a well-qualified list of 100–200 Shopify store owners, using the exact sequence above, you should expect:

Open rate: 45–65% (depending on subject line and sender reputation).
Reply rate: 8–15%. This isn’t a spray-and-pray list; decision-makers in ecommerce are often open to productivity tools. The breakup email alone can generate a 3–5% reply.
Positive interest rate: 3–7% — those who ask for a case study or schedule a call.

If your reply rate drops below 5% after the first 50 sends, the problem is usually the list (bad fit, stale emails) or the offer, not the sequence cadence. Iterate on your lead qualification before rewriting the whole sequence. On the other hand, if open rates are high but replies are low, test subject lines and the first sentence of each touch.

Why the Built-in Sequencer Matters for Shopify Outreach

Sending from the same tool that built your list gives you an edge. You can immediately correlate list quality with reply behavior. When a lead replies “Not interested,” you can glance at their profile in Origami: maybe they’re on Shopify Lite, not advanced; or they only use Facebook Ads, not Google Shopping. That context helps you adjust your list-building prompt for the next batch — all without switching tabs.

Wrapping Up

You now have everything you need to turn a list of Shopify store owners into booked meetings. Build the list with Origami (start with the free 1,000 credits), refine down to the decision-makers, copy the 3-touch sequence, hit launch, and watch the replies come in — all inside one platform. No exporting, no multiple tools, no per-email fees. The built-in sequencer is the missing link that makes outbound finally feel like one smooth workflow.

If you haven’t grabbed the foundational list yet, head back to how to build a list of Shopify Store Owners on LinkedIn and start there. Then come right back here and put these emails to work.
