Understanding the Recharge order flow
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 to create 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 checkout order has already been 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.
