What Metorik's Audience Sync for Reddit does:
Create any customer, order, subscription or cart segment and sync it into a customer list audience in your Reddit Ads account, matched by email. Include it in an ad group to reach existing customers and cart abandoners on Reddit, exclude it from prospecting, or use it as the source of a Lookalike audience in Reddit Ads Manager.
1. Create your segment
Start from customers, orders, subscriptions or carts and refine with 500+ filters. The estimated audience size updates as you go.
2. Hashed and synced
Metorik hashes every identifier with SHA-256 and creates the customer list audience in Reddit Ads , or syncs into one you already have.
3. Updates and resyncs
People who now match are added, people who don't are removed (or optionally never removed). Pause, duplicate or force a sync any time.
The full story, with the audience builder and sync controls in detail: Advertising audience sync
1,000 emails isn't 1,000 Redditors, so Metorik shows what matched.
Reddit matches customer lists on email alone and needs 1,000 matched users before a list can be targeted. Only some of your customers use Reddit with the address they shop with, so start from all-time buyers or a long date window and narrow once you see the match.
Match results, without leaving Metorik. Reddit can take up to 36 hours to process an upload, then reports the matched size as a range. Metorik shows that range and Reddit's status next to each audience. Refresh estimate checks again without re-uploading, and View in Reddit opens the ad account's audiences.
Audiences Reddit advertisers build first:
Exclude recent buyers
Ordered in the last 90 days, excluded from ad groups targeting communities and interests, so prospecting budget goes on Redditors who haven't bought yet.
Retarget VIPs and repeat buyers
3+ orders or top 10% by lifetime spend, shown launches and early access. Once it's ready for targeting, it can seed a Lookalike in Reddit Ads Manager too.
Win back lapsed customers
2+ orders, nothing in the last 120 days – reached in the feed and in conversation threads with what's new since their last order.
Recover abandoned carts
Carts over $150, or containing a hero product, left in the last 7 days. Only shoppers whose email was captured at checkout can match on Reddit.
Reddit audience syncing live in three steps:
1. Connect Reddit Ads
Connect Reddit Ads with the adsread and adsedit permissions and accept Reddit's Business Tools terms in Metorik. Connected for ad costs only? Reconnect once.
2. Build the audience
Pick the ad account and a new or existing customer list, then select customers, orders, subscriptions or carts, and add your filters.
3. Create & start syncing
The first sync runs straight away. Allow up to 36 hours for Reddit to match it, then Metorik keeps the list in sync automatically.
Reddit Audience Sync FAQs

What is Reddit customer list sync?
Metorik's audience sync turns a segment of your Shopify or WooCommerce customers, orders, subscriptions or carts into a customer list audience in the Reddit Ads account you choose, and keeps the two in sync automatically, so there's no CSV to re-upload in Reddit Ads Manager.
What's the minimum audience size on Reddit?
Reddit needs at least 1,000 matched users before a customer list can be targeted. Uploading 1,000 emails doesn't give you 1,000 matches, because only some of your customers use Reddit with the email they shop with.
Aim well above 1,000 eligible emails. If too few match, Reddit flags the list as having insufficient matches and Metorik shows that status, so you know to widen the segment. For Max campaigns on smaller budgets, Reddit recommends custom audiences of 10,000 or more.
What data is sent to Reddit?
Email addresses only, normalised and hashed with SHA-256 before they leave Metorik. Reddit compares the hashes with its own account data to find matches. Names, order values, lifetime value and cart contents are never sent, and people without an email address are left out of the sync.
How long until the audience is ready in Reddit Ads?
Allow up to 36 hours for Reddit to process a new upload. Reddit then reports the matched size as a range. Metorik shows that range and Reddit's status (processing, ready for targeting, insufficient matches, expired, deleted or error). Refresh estimate asks Reddit again without re-uploading anything, and View in Reddit opens the ad account's audiences in Reddit Ads Manager.
Can I build a Reddit Lookalike audience from a synced list?
Yes, in Reddit Ads Manager. Metorik doesn't create lookalikes, but once a synced customer list is ready for targeting with at least 1,000 matched users, you can choose it as the source of a Lookalike audience in Audience Manager. Reddit requires automated targeting on lookalike campaigns and doesn't allow lookalikes for housing, employment, credit or political ads. Metorik keeps the source list current as your customers change.
Can I retarget abandoned carts on Reddit?
Yes, when checkout captured the shopper's email. Choose Carts as the source – it starts from an abandoned-cart filter – then add a cart value, date or product filter. Guest carts count if an email was captured; anonymous carts can't be matched. Metorik counts each shopper once, so 5,000 carts can be far fewer people. In Add and remove mode, a shopper with no remaining matching cart leaves the audience on the next six-hour sync, then Reddit processes the change.
Can I sync into a Reddit customer list I already have?
Yes. Choose an eligible existing customer list in the selected ad account when you create the sync. Metorik only removes people it added itself, so emails you uploaded by hand stay where they are.
Does this replace the Reddit ad-cost integration?
No, they work together. The cost integration pulls your Reddit spend into Metorik for ROAS, profit and attribution reporting. Audience sync needs Reddit's adsedit permission as well as adsread, plus access to manage customer lists on the ad account, so stores connected to Reddit for costs only are asked to reconnect once. You also turn audience sync on and accept Reddit's Business Tools terms in Metorik, confirming you're allowed to use that customer data for advertising.
