Once you first-time sync all your existing Shopify subscribers then a new subscriber list would be created at SFMC Org along with the store name as a suffix. Under that list, you will find all your synced subscriber from Shopify to SFMC and all future Shopify subscribers will auto-add to this list. This will help you to easily find out all your Shopify subscriber in your SFMC Org.

• If Auto-Sync is Disable: If Auto-Sync is disabled then you need to sync data through the “Sync Icon” as shown in the below image. For example, you have 5000 customers and in a day you have synced 2000 customers, now if you want to shut down your system, and the next day you want to sync 3000 remaining customers then when you will click on the “Sync Icon”, the count will start from 2001. You don’t have to sync the data from the start. In this way, you can easily save time.

• If Auto-Sync is On: If Auto-Sync is On then every time data sync starts from the initial count (this is a back-end process) it will not impact anything. In the case of the auto-sync webhook trigger, if any data is updated at the Shopify end then the webhook will trigger and data will get updated at the SFMC end too.
