Create a loop to overcome 100 customer maximum

Create a loop to overcome 100 customer maximum

We wish to make a Flow that automatically increases our customers' store credit on a monthly basis. Right now, the workflow grabs the first 100 customers and makes the adjustment. Perfect. Now, how can we overcome the 100 customer maximum to check them all? 

 

Here is how the workflow is set up. 

  1. Scheduled to run on the first day of every month.
  2. GetCustomerData. We use this to check for key tags.
  3. If those conditions are met, the credit is increased.

The 100 customer maximum seems like a critical limitation.

The 100 limit is to protect Flow's infrastructure. We will eventually improve that. 

 

For now, you could run this more often and use a tag to track if it ran yet this month. For example, tag customers with "processed-01-2025" for January and add that to your query (tag_not:processed-01-2025).

Hi @DaveWilkinson ,

 

We are an app in the store credit space, that works using the native store credit feature of Shopify (ie - without using discounts / coupons). So customers have a single click to redeem store credit in our case.

 

For your use case - We support bulk adding / removing store credit from customers on a custom schedule, without any limits, like how you've run into using flows. 

 

I'm attaching a few relavant links 

  1. https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/customers/store-credit
  2. https://apps.shopify.com/dollarback

Also, the app is free for stores upto 100 orders/ month, and we offer a white glove migration service for the transition.

 

If you're looking for just a alternative to flows - then I'd suggest going with make.com / zapier / n8n (opensource & free) and setting up this custom workflow there instead. This way you won't run into Shopify's limtiations.

 

Feel free to reach out for any questions and we'd be happy to help.
