Size and color mistakes are the top reasons Shopify customers want to edit orders. Let them fix these instantly instead of canceling and reordering.
Why Shopify product editing matters
Reduce Returns
Customers fix size and color mistakes before items ship, preventing costly returns and exchanges.
Save Orders from Cancellation
Instead of canceling wrong orders, customers swap to the right products and keep buying.
Turn Mistakes Into Upsells
Customers often upgrade to premium variants or add matching items while editing.
Eliminate Support Tickets
Self-service product changes mean fewer “I ordered the wrong size” support requests.
What customers can change
Shopify customers can edit their orders in multiple ways:- Product variants: Switch sizes, colors, styles, or capacity (Medium to Large, Blue to Red, 32GB to 64GB)
- Quantities: Increase or decrease item amounts for bulk orders or corrections
- Product replacements: Swap completely different products (iPhone case to Samsung case, t-shirt to hoodie)
- Item removal: Delete unwanted products with automatic refunds

Revize automatically checks inventory levels based on the customer’s shipping location and delivery zone. When customers edit products, inventory is verified against the specific warehouse or fulfillment location that would ship to their address. This zone-based inventory checking ensures customers can only select variants that are actually available for delivery to their location. If a product runs out of stock at the relevant warehouse, it’s immediately marked as unavailable and cannot be added to the edited order.Inventory availability is determined by shipping zones - customers only see stock from warehouses that can fulfill orders to their delivery address.
