Configuration

Recharge Retrieve Customer & Shopify Retrieve Customer Actions

If you want to update a Shopify customer after a Recharge trigger occurs, you will need to add a Recharge Shopify Hosted Retrieve Customer step before your Shopify Retrieve Customer step. You will not be able to update the Shopify customer without knowing the Customer ID from the Recharge Shopify Hosted Retrieve Customer step. 

In the Recharge Retrieve Customer step, you will want to locate the variable that contains the Recharge Customer ID. 

In the Shopify Retrieve Customer step, you will want to locate the variable that contains the Shopify Customer ID. In most cases, you will find the variable under External Customer ID > Ecommerce 

Recharge Create Onetime Product Action

If you want to add a onetime product (non-recurring products on a queued order) to a subscription order, you can utilize the Recharge Shopify Hosted Create Onetime Product action.

In the Step Configuration within the action in MESA, the following are required Keys:

  • Address ID: You will need to use MESA's Variables feature to locate the Address ID
  • Ecommerce: The variant id of the Shopify product. You can locate your product's variant id by following this document. To find the Shopify Variant ID on a product without variants, you can add /variants.json at the end of the product URL. Locate the numbers set to id.
  • Price: Price of the product
  • Next Charge Scheduled At: You will need to use MESA's Variables feature to locate the Next Charge Scheduled At
  • Quantity: Set to your preferred quantity number
