What is a post-purchase email?
A post-purchase email is an automated message sent after a customer places an order. These emails are triggered based on order details like the product purchased, order value, or purchase date.
Unlike transactional emails, post-purchase emails go beyond confirming the order. They’re designed to strengthen post-purchase engagement, gather feedback, build loyalty, and encourage repeat purchases. When timed strategically, they help foster long-term customer relationships and drive additional revenue.
Most popular and revenue-generating post-purchase email types
- Product recommendation emails
- Cross-sell/upsell emails
- Replenishment reminder emails
- Review request emails (especially with incentives)
- Win-back/re-engagement emails
- Referral program invitations (with rewards)
- Thank you email
Other post-purchase email types
- Product onboarding/how-to
- Bundle or discount promotion
- Subscription upgrade
- Feedback survey
- User-generated content (UGC) request
- Loyalty program invite
- Surprise and delight email
Notice that our post-purchase email list excludes order, payment, shipping, and delivery confirmations. These messages sit within post-purchase flows but are transactional emails, providing expected order information.
Your post-purchase flows will combine required transactional messages and engagement emails, creating comprehensive customer journeys from purchase confirmation to feedback collection.
“‘Post-purchase flows’ is an umbrella term that also includes transactional flows. Transactional flows refer to basic, essential communications tied to the sale process, while post-purchase flows encompass engagement, feedback, loyalty-building efforts, and initiatives aimed at driving additional purchases after the sale. At Omnisend, we use the term ‘post-purchase’ to cover upsells, cross-sells, loyalty campaigns, and feedback or review requests.”
— Iryna Shatalo, Product knowledge expert at Omnisend

Examples | Product recommendations, review requests, cross-sell offers, loyalty program invites, replenishment reminders | Order confirmations, shipping notifications, delivery updates, password resets, receipt emails |

Benefits of post-purchase emails
Post-purchase emails provide additional touchpoints for connecting with customers and encouraging engagement in ways that align with your goals. That’s the theory — but how do these emails perform for real ecommerce brands?
Here are the benefits of post-purchase flows in your email strategy:
1. Higher open and click rates
Our analysis of 24 billion emails sent through Omnisend in 2024 reveals that recipients opened 52% more automated messages than manual campaigns, with order follow-ups and cross-sells among the most effective for open and conversion rates.
Order follow-up emails had a 49.75% open rate, 4.44% click-to-sent rate, and 22.64% click-to-conversion rate. Cross-sell emails lagged slightly behind, with a 40.95% open rate, 3.18% click-to-sent rate, and 21.12% click-to-conversion rate.
These statistics show that ecommerce customers actively seek additional value after purchases. Look no further for a golden opportunity to recommend products, upsell, request reviews, and increase signups for your loyalty program.
2. Automated revenue growth
Automated emails drive 37% of sales from just 2% of email volume, while SMS and push campaigns account for 18% from 9% and 15% from 3%, respectively.
The takeaway is clear — automations across all marketing channels have superior sales and revenue potential than manual campaigns.
3. Increase in repeat purchases
Post-purchase sequences can convert casual buyers into repeat customers within shorter timeframes than relying on broadcast campaigns.
Sending your customers rewards, discounts, cross-sell recommendations, replenishment reminders, and other relevant emails encourages them to purchase again.
4. Greater customer retention
Post-purchase sequences create relationship continuity beyond transactions with educational content, usage suggestions, and community integration opportunities.
Each message transforms standard delivery expectations into memorable brand experiences that competitors struggle to replicate.
5. Additional engagement touchpoints
Adding educational, referral, or review-request emails to the post-purchase flow keeps your brand top-of-mind when interest peaks.
Customers engage with relevant content tied directly to their purchase without perceiving these messages as promotional interruptions.
“Omnisend merchants are transforming post-purchase emails beyond order updates,” says Evaldas Mockus, VP of Growth at Omnisend. “They use purchase data to send product guides and recommendations when customers are most likely to buy again.”
“The numbers tell the story — brands using post-purchase flows see 22.64% click-to-conversion rates versus basic confirmation emails. These messages turn first purchases into repeat orders and create a more satisfying customer experience.”
How to segment post-purchase emails for higher engagement
Segmenting your subscribers creates groups you can target with personalized incentives and content, helping you craft emails your customers will likely open and act on.
For instance, your post-purchase email could list items they viewed recently and offer free next-day delivery on orders over $60.
Follow these best practices:
1. Segment new vs. returning customers
Separate first-time subscribers from customers who have ordered before to create a returning customer group for your past-purchase email sequences.
Use purchase history to recommend complementary products to returning customers and reward their loyalty with exclusive perks and early access to new items.
New customer relationships require a welcome series that incentivizes a first purchase or builds trust in your brand for nurturing. For instance, you could send a 10% off voucher based on the subscriber’s viewed products.
“Segmentation takes email from a promotional broadcast into a targeted conversation. Every customer gets messages that genuinely matter to them, driving a better ROI for your business.”
Evaldas Mockus, VP of Growth at Omnisend
2. Prioritize high-value shoppers
Your VIP customers are reliable sources of high-revenue purchases and deserve special treatment in your post-purchase communication.
Consider sending early access to new products, personalized recommendations based on their purchase history, or exclusive discounts on their favorite categories.
Use exclusive language in these messages, such as “reserved just for you,” “exclusive VIP preview,” or “special access for our top customers.”
3. Tailor emails based on product type
Different products need different follow-up strategies. For clothing purchases, share style guides and care instructions. With electronics, provide setup guides and warranty information.
For consumable items like food or beauty products, set up automatic reorder reminders when customers are likely to run low.
Use wish lists and browsing history to suggest complementary items customers have shown interest in but haven’t purchased yet.

Post-purchase email flow:
- Create a new workflow
- Choose a template
- Check trigger settings
- Select when to send the email
- Add the subject line and preheader
- Customize email content
- Save and send a test
Find detailed instructions on how to create this post-purchase automated email here.
1. Create a new workflow
You’ll need to create an automated post-purchase series in the automation section of your Omnisend account.
First, go to your Omnisend dashboard and click on Automation in the menu.
Then click the Create workflow button on the upper right side of the page.
Pro tip: Rather than creating separate emails from scratch, send post-purchase emails in automated workflows. Since they’re recurring emails you’ll send at specific intervals over time, it’s best to create post-purchase email flows and use triggers to send them on autopilot. You can still edit email content and personalize your post-purchase email series based on customer information and purchase history.
2. Choose the template
Once you select the Create workflow option, it will display a mini-menu on the left side of the Choose pre-built automation workflows page.
Check the Post-Purchase category and choose a suitable template.
You’ll get the option to create replenishment, cross-sell, product review emails, and more. For this tutorial, we’ll go with Product Reviews. Click on Customize workflow:

3. Check trigger settings
Here, you’ll need to make sure that the Order fulfilled trigger is on. This event will track if your customer’s order has been shipped and give you an idea of when they’ll receive their product:

4. Select when to send the post-purchase email
In this next step, you’ll set a delay period before sending the email to ensure you don’t ask for a review before your customer receives their product. It’s set to two weeks by default, and you can add specifications such as sending only on weekdays:

5. Add the subject line and preheader
Here, you’ll get to edit your email copy to make it more compelling for your audience.
Subject lines and preheaders are crucial parts of a successful email since they’re the first two items your audience interacts with.
Add the subject line, preheader, sender’s name, and sender’s email address:

6. Customize post-purchase email content
Next, go ahead and edit your email content. Select the email content block on your workflow, then click on Edit content to customize the template in the email builder:

7. Save and send a test
This step is about making sure that your workflow is saved and will display properly on customers’ screens. You’ll use the test email feature available on your workflow editor to send a test email and view what that looks like before sending your actual campaign.

Increase engagement with post-purchase emails
Post-purchase email sequences can enhance transactional messages with advice, tutorials, storytelling, discounts, special offers, referral requests, and more to turn first-time buyers into highly engaged, active customers.
To maximize your post-purchase strategy, segment previous purchasers into groups based on recent browsing activity, purchase history, email engagement metrics such as open rates, and demographics like age and gender.
That segmentation will help you craft personalized emails your customers will likely open and act on. For instance, your post-purchase email could list items they viewed recently and offer free next-day delivery on orders over $60.
“A good post-purchase email strategy can loyalize customers and win repeat sales. It creates a positive user experience where customers have all the information they need regarding your products and shipping details.
You can make your post-purchase emails more effective with appropriate triggers and personalization with the customer’s names. All this attention to detail leads to improved customer retention and cross-selling opportunities.”

Post-purchase emails: FAQs
Your post-purchase emails need relevant content and incentives built around your customers’ needs, whether order information, product guidance, or personalized recommendations. Add clear calls to action and time delivery based on optimal send times.
Send order confirmations immediately, shipping updates within hours, and engagement emails, such as reviews or cross-sells, a few days after delivery when customers have experienced your product and have something to say.
Aim for three transactional messages — confirmation, shipping, and delivery — plus two to three engagement emails spaced over the next month based on customer behavior. For instance, send a 10% discount code for the product category your customer is actively browsing.
Omnisend stands out for post-purchase email automation. It gives you access to all ecommerce-focused features across all plans, including unlimited segmentation, pre-built automations, custom automations, and automation splits.
Post-purchase engagement is when customers interact with your brand after buying. Your emails, texts, app alerts, loyalty programs, and feedback forms help build stronger bonds and positively impact future sales.
The three post-purchase outcomes include customer satisfaction, dissonance when they regret purchasing, and loyalty when they commit to your brand. Each shapes future shopper behavior and impacts your business growth potential.
