Can I control which orders OuterSignal processes?

By default, OuterSignal excludes all $0 orders in Shopify. You can suppress customers from OuterSignal searches based on Shopify tags.

Go to Settings > Data Sources > Edit the existing Shopify channel > Select which order tags and/or customer tags to exclude (or enter a custom tag) > Click Save Changes.

Common use cases:

  • Tag employee orders with "EMPLOYEE" → exclude from searches

  • Tag wholesale customers with "WHOLESALE" → exclude from searches

  • Tag sample orders with "SAMPLE" → exclude from searches

Tag orders before they're processed by OuterSignal, or apply tags to customer profiles to exclude all future orders from that customer.

Important: Tags are case-sensitive in OuterSignal. "WHOLESALE" and "wholesale" are treated as different tags.

Important Limitations:

  • Tags are case-sensitive ("EMPLOYEE" ≠ "employee")

  • If a tag exclusion is added after a customer has already been searched, it will not remove them retroactively

  • Tag exclusions only prevent future searches; they don't delete existing enriched data
