Why It Matters
Shopify Audiences leverages purchase intent signals from millions of Shopify stores to identify likely buyers for your products. Unlike Meta's lookalikes (based on engagement), Shopify Audiences are built on actual purchase behavior. Brands report 20-50% lower CPAs and 2-3x better ROAS compared to standard prospecting audiences.
