B) Export existing customers
You may already have customers and subscribers and want to export them to AWeber. Use this step to export existing data.

Unfortunately we can't let you automatically import all your Shopify customers in AWeber, because AWeber is going to send out an opt-in mail to all subscribers and we believe that isn't desirable. This is AWeber policy as you can read here: https://help.aweber.com/hc/en-us/articles/204029206-Why-Was-A-Confirmation-Message-Sent-When-Confirmation-Was-Disabled-

Also, you can put in a request to have your subscribers bypass the confirmation step if they are being added through our API. Please feel free to contact AWeber with these requests.

PLEASE NOTE: make sure your confirmation message is turned off for the list you're importing your contacts in!
Go to Manage lists > List options > List settings and search for this setting: 

After turning off the confirmation message you can import your Shopify customers into AWeber manually. To do so follow these steps:

  1. Go to your Shopify backend and go to customers

  2. Export all customers to plain CSV (upper right side op the page) and save the file somewhere on your desktop

  3. Go to AWeber and go to Subscribers

  4. Hit the green button 'Add subscribers' and select 'Import More Than 10 Subscribers'

  5. Go to 'Import Subscribers From A File' and select the file you've just saved
