Frequently asked questions
Can I use different tags for different subscription products?
Currently, this workflow applies the same tag to all new subscribers. To create product-specific tags like "Coffee Subscriber" or "Supplement Subscriber", you would need to duplicate this template and set up separate workflows for each subscription product type.
What happens if a customer already has the tag when they create another subscription?
Shopify handles duplicate tags gracefully - if the customer already has the "Recharge Tag", adding it again won't create duplicates or cause errors. The tag will simply remain on their profile without changes.
Will this tag customers who reactivate cancelled subscriptions?
No, this workflow only triggers on new subscription creation events. Customers who reactivate existing subscriptions won't trigger this workflow. You'd need a separate workflow listening for "subscription/activated" events to handle reactivations.
