Klaviyo Setup Agency Australia — Full Klaviyo Onboarding for Australian Shopify Brands

Klaviyo has become the dominant email marketing platform for Australian Shopify brands — and for good reason. Its Shopify integration is unmatched, its behavioural segmentation capabilities are best in class, and its ability to generate attributable revenue from automated flows is genuinely transformative when the account is set up correctly.

That last qualifier — “set up correctly” — is where most Australian brands fall short. The reality is that a large proportion of Klaviyo accounts we audit are partially configured, missing critical deliverability infrastructure, or running default flows that were never customised. This is not a reflection on the brands themselves. Klaviyo is a powerful platform that takes real expertise to configure properly.

Excelohunt is a Klaviyo setup agency for Australian Shopify brands. We handle the complete Klaviyo onboarding — account setup, Spam Act-compliant configuration, Shopify integration, deliverability infrastructure, automation flows, segments, and templates. We invoice in AUD and operate with AEST in mind.

Spam Act Compliance Built Into Every Configuration

The Australian Spam Act 2003 requires all commercial emails to meet three conditions: consent, identification, and an unsubscribe facility. We build all three into your Klaviyo configuration by default:

Consent: Your signup forms and data capture methods are configured to document express or inferred consent appropriately. We advise on which consent type applies to each subscriber source and how to handle the 2-year implied consent limitation.

Identification: Every email template includes clear identification of your business — trading name, registered address, and relevant Australian business identifiers.

Unsubscribe: Every email includes a clear, functional, one-click unsubscribe mechanism. Klaviyo’s suppression system processes these automatically within the required timeframe.

We also advise on how to handle the specific edge case of inferred consent — including customers who’ve made a recent purchase (eligible for 2 years of inferred consent) versus non-customer subscribers.

How It Works

Step 1 — Free Audit We audit your current Klaviyo setup (or scope a full fresh build), identify what’s missing or broken, and provide a clear written scope.

Step 2 — Brand Brief You complete an onboarding brief covering your products, customer segments, brand voice, design preferences, and revenue goals.

Step 3 — Build We configure the account in a structured sequence: deliverability infrastructure first, then integration, then segments and lists, then flows, then forms, then templates.

Step 4 — QA and Testing Full QA across all flows, forms, links, and templates. We verify Shopify event tracking, confirm DNS records, and test email rendering across all major clients.

Step 5 — Handoff or Ongoing Management We hand off the fully configured account with documentation, or we stay on as your ongoing Klaviyo management partner.
