Seguno is a Shopify-native email marketing app installed directly into the Shopify admin, popular with SMB Shopify merchants who want email marketing without leaving the Shopify dashboard. The unsubscribe mechanism uses the {{unsubscribe_url}} merge tag auto-injected into every campaign footer, and Seguno emits RFC 8058 headers automatically for authenticated sending domains. Consent is tracked at the Shopify customer level with per-list opt-out available. Native Shopify data model integration ensures consent state consistency across Shopify email flows. This guide covers the tag, the Shopify-native integration, and how to verify the setup end to end.
Seguno (Shopify) unsubscribe link
| Tag syntax | {{unsubscribe_url}} |
| Placement | Auto-embedded in every campaign footer |
| Scope | Shopify customer-level opt-out |
| Config path | Shopify Admin > Apps > Seguno > Settings |
| RFC 8058 one-click | Yes, automatic for authenticated sending domains |
How to add the unsubscribe tag in Seguno (Shopify)
Place the merge tag exactly as shown below in the email template. Seguno (Shopify) replaces it at send time with a signed URL scoped to the recipient and campaign.
{{unsubscribe_url}}For custom HTML templates, wrap the tag in an anchor to render a proper hyperlink in the delivered email:
<a href="{{unsubscribe_url}}">Unsubscribe from this list</a>Auto-embedded in every campaign footer
Yes, automatic for authenticated sending domains The recipient's mailbox provider (Gmail, Yahoo) uses the List-Unsubscribe-Post header to expose the native one-click button on the message. Requires domain authentication with DKIM and DMARC.
Seguno integrates directly with the Shopify customer record for consent tracking, but Shopify Marketing preferences and Seguno opt-out state need to stay synced. Missing sync creates situations where a customer marked as accepts_marketing=false in Shopify still appears subscribed in Seguno, or vice versa. Enable bidirectional sync during initial setup and audit periodically.
Testing your Seguno (Shopify) unsubscribe link
- Send a test message to a controlled Gmail address you own via the Seguno (Shopify) campaign preview action
- Click the footer unsubscribe link and confirm the opt-out on the landing page
- Check the subscriber or contact record: the status should be Unsubscribed within seconds
- Verify the RFC 8058 headers in Gmail: open the message, click three dots, then Show original. Look for
List-UnsubscribeandList-Unsubscribe-Post: List-Unsubscribe=One-Click

How to add the Seguno unsubscribe link (step by step)
Seguno templates auto-include the unsubscribe link in the default footer, but custom template variations may require the tag inserted manually inside the Shopify admin.
- Open Shopify Admin > Apps > Seguno > Campaigns.
- Edit the campaign or template where the unsubscribe link should appear.
- Insert the merge tag
{{unsubscribe_url}}. Seguno replaces it at send time with a signed URL scoped to the Shopify customer. - Wrap it in an anchor:
<a href="{{unsubscribe_url}}">Unsubscribe</a>. - Verify the sender identity is configured under Shopify Admin > Apps > Seguno > Settings.
- Send a test to a seed address and verify the rendered link routes to the Seguno-hosted preference page and syncs opt-out state back to Shopify customer marketing preferences.
Shopify customer sync and marketing preferences
Seguno integrates directly with the Shopify customer record for consent tracking, but Shopify Marketing preferences and Seguno opt-out state need to stay synced. Missing sync creates situations where a customer marked as accepts_marketing=false in Shopify still appears subscribed in Seguno, or vice versa. Enable bidirectional sync during initial setup and audit periodically. Native Shopify integration means the Shopify customer record is the single source of truth, unlike third-party ESPs which maintain a separate subscriber database.
RFC 8058 one-click headers
Seguno added RFC 8058 one-click unsubscribe automatically ahead of the Google and Yahoo February 2024 requirements. The List-Unsubscribe and List-Unsubscribe-Post headers inject on every marketing send from domains authenticated under Shopify Admin > Apps > Seguno > Settings. SPF and DKIM records must be verified through the Seguno sender verification flow. Shopify SPF alignment is often preconfigured for Shopify-hosted sending, simplifying setup compared to standalone ESPs.
Automation flows and abandoned cart enforcement
Seguno automation flows (welcome series, abandoned cart, post-purchase, win-back) all respect the Shopify customer marketing preference flag. An opted-out customer is skipped in every flow send automatically. Transactional order confirmations bypass marketing consent as required by e-commerce transactional exemptions. Shopify Flow triggers can also be configured to enroll customers in Seguno campaigns based on order events, with automatic consent respect through the Shopify integration.
