Customer Spend Tier Tagger
Calculates lifetime spend per customer and applies tier tags (Bronze/Silver/Gold/Platinum) based on configurable thresholds.
shopify-admin-customer-spend-tier-tagger
Purpose
Queries all customers, calculates their lifetime spend using order history, and assigns a spend-tier tag (Bronze/Silver/Gold/Platinum by default). Enables VIP segmentation for loyalty programs, exclusive offers, and CX prioritization without a third-party loyalty app. Extends the existing loyalty-segment-export skill with a write step.
Prerequisites
shopify store auth --store --scopes read_customers,read_orders,write_customers read_customers, read_orders, write_customersParameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| store | string | yes | — | Store domain (e.g., mystore.myshopify.com) |
| tiers | object | no | see below | Spend thresholds per tier (in store currency) |
| tag_prefix | string | no | tier | Tag prefix (e.g., tier:bronze, tier:silver) |
| remove_old_tiers | bool | no | true | Remove existing tier tags before applying new ones |
| dry_run | bool | no | true | Preview without executing mutations |
| format | string | no | human | Output format: human or json |
Default tiers (store currency):
bronze: $0–$249
silver: $250–$999
gold: $1,000–$4,999
platinum: $5,000+
Safety
> ⚠️ tagsAdd adds tags to customer records visible to staff and used by marketing segments. If remove_old_tiers: true, existing tier tags matching tag_prefix are removed before new ones are applied. Run with dry_run: true to review the tier distribution before committing.
Workflow Steps

Expected output: All customers with lifetime spend; paginate until hasNextPage: false

Session Tracking
Claude MUST emit the following output at each stage. This is mandatory.
On start, emit:
╔══════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ SKILL: Customer Spend Tier Tagger ║
║ Store: <store domain> ║
║ Started: <YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM UTC> ║
╚══════════════════════════════════════════════╝
After each step, emit:
[N/TOTAL] <QUERY|MUTATION> <OperationName>
→ Params: <brief summary of key inputs>
→ Result: <count or outcome>
If dry_run: true, prefix every mutation step with [DRY RUN] and do not execute it.
On completion, emit:
For format: human (default):

══════════════════════════════════════════════
For format: json, emit:
{

"output_file": "tier_tagging_<date>.csv"
}
Output Format
CSV file tier_tagging_ with columns:
customer_id, name, email, lifetime_spend, currency, tier, previous_tags, new_tags
Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Recovery |
|---|---|---|
THROTTLED | API rate limit exceeded | Wait 2 seconds, retry up to 3 times |
userErrors on tagsAdd | Invalid customer ID | Log error, skip customer, continue |
| No customers | Empty store | Exit with 0 results |
Best Practices
remove_old_tiers: true to ensure each customer has exactly one tier tag at any time.tiers thresholds to your store's AOV and LTV distribution — the defaults work for stores with $50–100 AOV.
