How it works

10 steps to start syncing Shopify customer addresses to Recharge automatically

Daily Schedule

App connector: [Schedule](/content/apps/schedule/integrate "View Schedule integration page"/index.html) • Time to complete: 1 minute

Why this matters: This trigger runs address synchronization on a consistent daily schedule, ensuring subscription addresses stay current with customer updates and preventing fulfillment errors from outdated shipping information.

This scheduled trigger runs once per day at midnight. The timing provides complete coverage of the previous day's customer updates and processes them before subscription charges run.

Customization: You can adjust the schedule to run more frequently if address synchronization needs to be more immediate, or less frequently if you prefer batch processing.

Loop: Fetch Customers Updated Today

App connector: [Loop](/content/apps/loop/integrate "View Loop integration page"/index.html) • Time to complete: 0 minutes (Auto-configured)

Why this matters: Retrieves only customers who actually modified their information recently, creating an efficient sync process that focuses on changes rather than processing your entire customer database daily.

This step fetches Shopify customers using time-based filtering. The query includes updated_at_min set to 24 hours ago (calculated using date math that subtracts 1 day from current time) and a limit of 250 customers. This returns customers who updated any information in the past day, which may include address changes, email updates, or other profile modifications. The 250 limit is Shopify's maximum per request—if you have more than 250 updates daily, you'd need pagination logic.

Filter: Stop the automation if no customers were found

App connector: [Filter](/content/apps/filter/integrate "View Filter integration page"/index.html) • Time to complete: 0 minutes (Auto-configured)

Why this matters: Prevents unnecessary processing when no customers were updated, conserving workflow execution credits and avoiding errors from empty data arrays in subsequent steps.

Loop Through Each Customer

App connector: [Loop](/content/apps/loop/integrate "View Loop integration page"/index.html) • Time to complete: 0 minutes (Auto-configured)

Why this matters: Processes each updated customer individually through Recharge lookup and address comparison, enabling per-customer address synchronization rather than batch operations that might fail partially.

Filter: Check if the customer has an email address

App connector: [Filter](/content/apps/filter/integrate "View Filter integration page"/index.html) • Time to complete: 0 minutes (Auto-configured)

Why this matters: Ensures the customer has an email before attempting Recharge lookup, preventing failures since Recharge customer searches require email addresses for matching.

Retrieve Recharge Customer

App connector: [Recharge](/content/apps/recharge/integrate "View Recharge integration page"/index.html) • Time to complete: 1 minute

Why this matters: Searches Recharge for the customer account using the email address, establishing the connection needed to retrieve and update their subscription shipping address.

Filter: Stop the automation if no customers were retrieved

App connector: [Filter](/content/apps/filter/integrate "View Filter integration page"/index.html) • Time to complete: 0 minutes (Auto-configured)

Why this matters: Filters out Shopify customers who don't have Recharge subscription accounts, preventing errors when trying to update addresses for non-subscribers.

Retrieve Recharge Addresses

App connector: [Recharge](/content/apps/recharge/integrate "View Recharge integration page"/index.html) • Time to complete: 0 minutes (Auto-configured)

Why this matters: Retrieves the customer's current address information stored in Recharge, providing the baseline data needed for comparison with Shopify's current address to detect changes.

Filter: Compare the recent Shopify information to Recharge information

App connector: [Filter](/content/apps/filter/integrate "View Filter integration page"/index.html) • Time to complete: 0 minutes (Auto-configured)

Why this matters: Detects actual address differences between Shopify and Recharge, ensuring updates only occur when changes exist rather than updating every customer record unnecessarily.

Update Recharge Address

App connector: [Recharge](/content/apps/recharge/integrate "View Recharge integration page"/index.html) • Time to complete: 0 minutes (Auto-configured)

Why this matters: Synchronizes the Recharge address with current Shopify data, ensuring subscription orders ship to the customer's correct current address and preventing costly shipping errors or customer service issues.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if a customer has multiple addresses in Recharge?

This workflow updates only the first address (index 0) returned from Recharge. If customers have multiple subscription addresses, consider modifying your logic to loop through all addresses and update each one based on Shopify's default address.

How does the workflow handle customers who update email addresses?

If a customer changes their email in Shopify, the lookup will fail to find the account (since it searches by the new email). The workflow will skip that customer. To handle email changes, you'd need additional logic that searches by Shopify customer ID or previous email.

Can I run this more frequently than daily?

Yes, change the schedule trigger from Daily to a more frequent schedule like Hourly or Every 6 hours. Be aware this increases workflow execution usage, though it provides more real-time address synchronization.
