Solving Shopify Order Processing Issues with Make.com

Are you a Make.com user who's been struggling with a scenario that only works on a single order, even if multiple orders are received? You're not alone. This is a common issue that many users face, especially when dealing with platforms like Shopify. But don't worry, we've got a solution for you.

The Problem

Let's say you have a scenario that runs hourly, watches for new orders in Shopify, and based on filters that identify certain orders containing specific products, creates a purchase order in Xero and adds the order to a Google sheet. The issue is that the scenario only picks up the first order, even if multiple orders are received within the hour. This can be a major problem if you're dealing with a high volume of orders.

The Solution

One possible solution to this problem is to use the Shopify New Event module. This module fires whenever there is any event, including orders, products, customers, etc. However, keep in mind that this might end up using too many Ops.

Another solution is to set the limit to what you think would be the most in any given hour ever. If that happens to be 500, then at most it will process 500 an hour. If it happens to go over, then it will take a couple of hours or more for it to catch itself up.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you're still having trouble, make sure you haven't messed with the "Choose where to start" settings. Make should keep track internally and shouldn't go back and get orders that were previously processed, unless it's an entirely new module.

Conclusion

In conclusion, while it can be frustrating when your scenario only picks up the first order, there are solutions available. Whether you choose to use the Shopify New Event module or adjust your limit settings, you can find a solution that works for you. Remember, the key is to understand your own needs and adjust your settings accordingly.
