Example Flows

Free Gift With Order

Leveraging Smartrr's Shopify Flow integration you can add free gifts to customer's subscription orders. This allows for the ability to surprise and delight customers on a specific order and reward them for being loyal subscribers.

How to Setup Flow

  1. Create a new Shopify Flow.

  2. Select Triggers > Smartrr > Subscription transaction successful.

    1. Note: this triggered is fired when a subscription recurring order is successfully processed in Shopify.

  1. Add Condition > choose orderNumber > specify the order number.

    1. Note: this will be the order number for the subscription that you want the action to be applied. For example, on all subscriptions 3rd order you want to add a free gift, then enter 3. This condition is looking ONLY at subscription orders for each individual subscription. It is differentiating subscription orders for that subscription specifically and does not count total orders for that customer.

  1. Add Action > choose Shopify > Add order line item.

  1. Specify the product that you want to add to the order.

    1. Note: make sure the product you are adding has a $0 base price in Shopify .

  2. Turn on workflow.

Auto-Pause Subscriptions

The Smartrr action to pause subscriptions in Shopify Flow can be used to simulate a pre-order type setup by allowing you to automatically pause subscriptions after they are initially created. This will enable you to capture payments for subscriptions upfront while placing the subscriptions on pause until you are ready to be fulfilling and shipping orders.

How to Setup Flow

  1. Create a new Shopify Flow.

  2. Select Triggers > Smartrr > Subscription created.

  3. (Optional) Add Conditions where appropriate.

  4. Add Action > choose Smartrr > Pause Subscription.

  1. Turn on workflow.
