1. What is meant by automation in e-commerce stores?
Simply put, automation means letting daily tasks run on their own without your intervention, such as receiving orders, sending invoices, tracking shipments, sending confirmation messages, and much more.
This means that instead of working all day following up on orders yourself, you can program the store to operate as if you had a small, but online, staff.
2. When do you need to automate your store?
• If your sales have grown and time is running out.
• If you manage multiple stores or sales channels.
• If you want to focus on marketing or business development.
• Or even if you're a self-employed business and don't have many employees.
In all cases, automation will save you time and effort and protect you from human error.
3. What tasks can you automate in your store?
Let's list them briefly:
• Automatically receive orders and issue invoices.
• Send emails or messages at the time of purchase or shipping.
• Low stock notifications.
• Update customer status without manual intervention.
• Automatically integrate orders with shipping companies.
• Collect customer reviews after delivery.
• Schedule auto-expiring offers or discounts.
You can make all of these things work automatically using simple tools.
4. What tools help with automation?
There are many tools and applications, most of which are compatible with popular store systems. Here are the most prominent:
• Zapier or Make: Connects multiple applications and lets them work together automatically.
• MailChimp or Klaviyo: Sends automated emails based on customer behavior.
• Shopify Flow (if you're on Shopify): Allows you to create automated rules without coding.
• Store settings: Many systems like Zid or Salla have built-in automation options.
5. How do you get started with automation step by step?
Don't start with everything at once; take it gradually:
1. Start with automated orders and invoices.
2. Then, enable order confirmation and shipping messages.
3. Download an add-on that connects you directly with the shipping company.
4. Activate automated email tools for shoppers who didn't complete their purchases.
5. Track performance and see what needs tweaking or improvement.

• What are the long-term benefits of automation?
• It reduces your time on routine tasks.
• It reduces errors due to manual entry.
• It provides a better customer experience.
• It keeps your work professional and organized, even when you're busy or asleep.
• It helps you focus on growth and development, rather than daily monitoring.
Your store doesn't need you to work on it 24/7. Automation is the smart way to let your store run on its own and reduce your effort.
Start with simple steps, and over time, you'll be able to manage your store more easily and efficiently, even if you have multiple projects.
