# How to connect my online store to GetResponse?

There are four main ways in which you can connect your online store to GetResponse:

*   using a GetResponse plugin for [Magento](https://www.getresponse.com/help/can-i-grow-my-contact-database-by-integrating-getresponse-with-magento.html), [PrestaShop](https://www.getresponse.com/help/how-can-i-fully-integrate-my-prestashop-with-getresponse.html), [WordPress](https://www.getresponse.com/help/how-to-integrate-wordpress-with-getresponse.html), [Shopify](https://www.getresponse.com/help/how-can-i-integrate-shopify-and-getresponse.html), and [Shoper](https://www.getresponse.com/help/how-to-integrate-getresponse-with-shoper.html)
*   using a [custom API solution](https://www.getresponse.com/help/how-to-integrate-your-store-with-getresponse-api.html).
*   Using a [Conversion funnel](https://www.getresponse.com/help/what-is-conversion-funnel.html)
*   By adding a store in **[Ecommerce tools](https://app.getresponse.com/e-commerce/shops)**.

Once you connect them, you can start sending ecommerce data to your account. It can be used for sending [personalized recommendations](https://www.getresponse.com/help/how-do-i-send-product-recommendations-to-customers.html) and automatic [abandoned cart messages](https://www.getresponse.com/help/how-can-i-include-abandoned-cart-items-in-a-message.html), building [post-purchase workflows](https://www.getresponse.com/help/what-are-the-post-purchase-templates-used-for.html), or customer segmentation. They all help you promote your products and grow your customer base.

To connect your online store and GetResponse account you will need:

*   a GetResponse account
    
    To take full advantage of our ecommerce and web traffic tracking solutions, you should have a Marketer or Creator account.
    
*   (optional) access to the [Conversion funnel](https://www.getresponse.com/help/what-is-conversion-funnel.html) feature
    
*   an online store
    
    If you have a [Magento](https://www.getresponse.com/help/can-i-grow-my-contact-database-by-integrating-getresponse-with-magento.html), [PrestaShop](https://www.getresponse.com/help/how-can-i-fully-integrate-my-prestashop-with-getresponse.html), [Shopify](https://www.getresponse.com/help/how-can-i-integrate-shopify-and-getresponse.html), [Shoper](https://www.getresponse.com/help/how-to-integrate-getresponse-with-shoper.html) or [Woocommerce](https://www.getresponse.com/help/how-to-integrate-woocommerce-with-getresponse.html) store, you can send ecommerce data to your GetResponse account using our plugin. Or, you can use a custom [API solution](https://apireference.getresponse.com/?_ga=2.181943655.1714190560.1566825691-1400613712.1565008154#operation/createShop) to connect your store to GetResponse.
