Kind Cotton · Shopify customer accounts and automation
Showing customers how many books they have helped give.
Kind Cotton wanted each customer to see their book-giving total in their Shopify account, next to their orders. We moved their past records into Shopify and set up a workflow that adds every paid order to the same total. Then we built the block on the account page that shows it.

How it works
Past records and new orders, one total.
Past records were imported once. After that, every paid order adds to the total the customer sees on their account page.
We imported each customer's past book-giving total into Shopify, so existing customers start with their full history.
The challenge
The total had to include the past.
Kind Cotton customers had history from before this feature existed, so a total that started at zero would have been wrong on day one.
It also had to stay current as new orders came in, and customers needed to see it in the account they already use.
What AESYMMETRIC did
An account page block and the workflow behind it.
We imported each customer's past total into Shopify and saved it on the customer record. A Shopify Flow adds every paid order to that total and checks each order first, so the same order never counts twice.
On the customer side, a Shopify Customer Account extension reads the total and shows it on the profile page.
The result
Customers see their total where they already shop.
The account extension, the historical import and the paid-order workflow all shipped. We tested them with sample orders, and Kind Cotton checked the result from a customer account.
Kind Cotton now has a book-giving total that lives inside Shopify and updates itself when orders are paid. Last reviewed September 28, 2026.
