Customers often remember a detail after checkout: an engraving, a gift message, a size, or a delivery instruction. The custom note lets them add it to their Shopify order during the edit window, saved with the order for your team.

Why a custom order note helps
Personalization and Engraving
Made-to-order and custom brands collect engraving text, material, or finish details per item, straight from the customer.
Gift Messages
Customers add recipient names, personal messages, or delivery instructions after checkout without emailing support.
Sizing and Fit
Apparel and accessory shops capture size, color, or fit preferences when customers swap products.
B2B and Wholesale
Buyers attach PO numbers, account references, or shipping instructions tied to the order.
How customers add a custom note
Open the order edit page
The customer opens their order in the Revize Customer Portal during the edit window.
Find the custom note section
The note section shows a pre-filled template (if you set one) so customers see structure instead of a blank box.
How the custom note works
What customers can do:- Add or edit the note any time during the edit window
- Follow a pre-filled template you define
- Review the note before paying when prompted
- Saved as an order custom attribute
- Shows in the order’s Additional details in Shopify admin
- Parseable by Shopify Flow, Recharge, and your 3PL exports
The custom note is information for your team, not an automated action. It does not change pricing, products, or shipping on its own.
