Create customer segments
Tag customers who reach the fifth order milestone in your CRM or email platform to create VIP segments for future marketing campaigns and exclusive offers.
Track loyalty metrics
Store reward data in spreadsheets or databases to monitor which products work best as loyalty incentives and identify your most valuable repeat customers.
Scale the reward system
Build additional workflows for different milestones (10th order, anniversary dates) or create tiered rewards that increase in value as customers place more orders.
Frequently asked questions
What happens if the customer's fifth order gets canceled or refunded?
The workflow triggers when the order is created, so the free product will already be added. If the order is later canceled, you'll need to manually track and potentially adjust the customer's order count or handle the free product separately since this workflow doesn't monitor order cancellations.
Can I set different free products for different subscription types or customer segments?
Currently this workflow uses a single product ID for all qualifying customers. To offer different rewards, you'd need to add filter steps that check subscription product types or customer tags, then route to different "Add Line Item" steps with different product IDs configured.
Will this workflow work if customers have multiple active subscriptions?
Yes, the workflow counts total orders by email address across all subscriptions. However, if a customer places multiple subscription orders on the same day that happens to be their fifth overall order, they might receive multiple free products since each order creation triggers the workflow independently.
What is a template?
MESA templates are fully pre-configured workflows built and vetted by Shopify Experts. Unlike competitor templates that provide basic scaffolds requiring extensive setup, MESA templates come with all data variables properly mapped, required fields configured, and steps ready to activate. You can turn them on immediately and start automating.
Can I customize a template?
Absolutely! While our templates work out-of-the-box, every step can be personalized to match your exact business requirements. Add conditional logic, integrate additional apps, or build more sophisticated workflows. MESA's templates provide a solid foundation that you can expand as needed.
Are templates free?
Yes! Our entire library of expert-built, production-ready templates is free to use. Unlike platforms that charge for premium templates or provide only basic scaffolds, MESA gives you access to hundreds of fully-configured, vetted workflows at no additional cost.
