Understanding the Recharge order flow on the Shopify Checkout Integration

When a first-time or repeat subscriber makes their way through the checkout, their customer data is securely passed between Shopify and Recharge, creating the necessary data points along the way. This guide provides a visual overview of the checkout and recurring order flows on the Shopify Checkout Integration.

Checkout order flow

This chart shows the path the data takes during the first purchase for a new subscriber. Starting from the Shopify product page, data flows through the cart and checkout all the way to the creation of a customer profile in Recharge.

Recurring order flow

This chart shows the path data takes during a recurring payment. This path is the second charge and beyond, after the initial purchase has already processed. Starting with the subscription renewal, data flows from the point of charging the customer to placing the order on Shopify and creating the next queued order.
