Data Replication

Default Pipeline Frequency	Minimum Pipeline Frequency	Maximum Pipeline Frequency	Custom Frequency Range (Hrs)
1 Hr	1 Hr	24 Hrs	1-24

Note: You must set the custom frequency in hours as an integer value. For example, 1, 2, 3 but not 1.5 or 1.75.

• Historical Data: In the first run of the Pipeline, Hevo ingests all historical data for the Collections, Collections Products, Products, and Store objects and loads it to the Destination.

• Incremental Data: Once the historical load is complete, all new and updated records for all objects except Collections, Collections Products, Products, and Store are synchronized with your Destination according to the ingestion frequency.

---

Source Considerations

• Pagination: Each API response for each Recharge object fetches one page with up to 250 records per page.

• Rate Limit: Recharge imposes a limit of a maximum of 40 API calls per second per account to optimize performance.

• Recharge supports the Eastern Time (ET), and not UTC, due to which Hevo displays the position of the incremental objects in ET.

Data Model

Limitations

• Hevo currently does not support deletes. Therefore, any data deleted in the Source may continue to exist in the Destination.

• Hevo does not provide you with the option to select the historical sync duration for loading historical data. All the historical data in your Recharge account is loaded.
