What Metorik's Audience Sync for Snapchat does:
Create any customer, order, subscription or cart segment and sync it into a Customer List Audience in your Snapchat ad account, matched on email address and phone number. Use it in Snapchat Ads Manager to retarget shoppers, exclude recent buyers from prospecting, or seed a Lookalike Audience.
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 Snapchat , 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
Matched on email and phone, for larger eligible audiences.
Snapchat matches phone numbers as well as emails, so Metorik sends both. A shopper can match on either, and someone who left only a phone number at checkout still makes the audience.
Numbers checked properly. Metorik cleans and normalizes phone numbers, then hashes it in full international format to maximize the probability of matching in Snapchat.
Snapchat's view, in Metorik. Every audience shows the approximate size Snapchat reports and whether it's ready to target, with a link straight to it in Snapchat Ads Manager.
Audiences Snapchat advertisers build first:
Retarget abandoned carts
Carts abandoned in the last 7 days, matched on the phone or email captured at checkout – guests included. In Add and remove mode, buyers who go on to order drop out on a later sync.
Exclude recent customers
Bought in the last 30/60/90 days, excluded from prospecting ad sets so new-customer budget on Snapchat reaches Snapchatters who haven't bought yet.
Bring back your regulars
3+ orders or your top 10% by spend, retargeted between Stories and on Spotlight with early access or a loyalty offer.
Seed lookalikes from your top buyers
Your best customers as the seed for a Similarity, Balance or Reach Lookalike. When Metorik adds people to the seed, Snapchat updates the Lookalike too.
Snapchat audience syncing live in three steps:
1. Connect Snapchat Ads
Turn on audience sync for your Snapchat connection, accept Snap's Customer List Audience terms and pick the ad account.
2. Build the audience
Choose a new Customer List Audience or an existing one, select customers, orders, subscriptions or carts, and add your filters.
3. Create & start syncing
The first sync runs straight away. Metorik shows the size Snapchat reports, then keeps it in sync automatically.

What is Snapchat Customer List Audience 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 Snapchat ad account you choose, and keeps the two in sync automatically. Customer List Audiences were previously called Snap Audience Match.
What data is sent to Snapchat?
Only email addresses and phone numbers, each hashed with SHA-256 before it leaves Metorik. Emails are trimmed and lowercased first, and phone numbers are converted to full international digits. Snapchat compares the hashes with its own account data to find matches. Names, addresses, lifetime value and cart contents are never sent.
Does a customer need both an email and a phone number?
No – either one is enough. A person can match on their email, their phone number or both, so shoppers who only gave a phone number at checkout still qualify. Contacts with neither are left out. If two people share an email or phone number and one leaves the segment, Metorik keeps the shared identifier in the audience for the other.
Why do the preview, accepted and matched counts differ?
Each one counts something different. The estimate you see while building runs quick identifier checks. At sync, Metorik fully validates every phone number, so badly formatted ones are skipped and the accepted count can be lower. Snapchat then matches what it accepts against its own accounts and reports an approximate size, which can be lower again because not every customer uses Snapchat with the same email or number.
How big does a Snapchat audience need to be?
Snapchat doesn't publish a fixed minimum for Customer List Audiences, but it flags any list that's too small to target. Metorik shows that targetability status next to the approximate size Snapchat reports. If a list is flagged, widen the segment – a longer date range, or all-time customers instead of recent ones – and Metorik adds the new matches on the next sync.
Can I build a Snapchat Lookalike Audience from a synced list?
Yes. In Snapchat Ads Manager, choose the synced Customer List Audience as the seed, pick one or more countries, then Similarity, Balance or Reach. Snapchat updates a Lookalike as new people are added to its seed, so a seed that Metorik keeps current refreshes the Lookalike as well. Metorik doesn't create Lookalikes itself.
Can I sync into a Snapchat audience I already have?
Yes. Choose an existing Customer List Audience in the selected ad account when you create the sync. Metorik only removes people it added itself, so anything you uploaded in Snapchat Ads Manager is left alone.
Snapchat is already connected for ad costs. Why reconnect?
Ad cost reporting and audience sync use the same Snapchat connection, but audiences need a little more: you turn audience sync on in Metorik, accept Snap's Customer List Audience terms, and the person authorising needs access to manage customer lists on the ad account. Older connections made before Metorik recorded their permissions are asked to reconnect once. Cost reporting carries on as before.
