This is a one-time change in Shopify Admin. It takes about 2 minutes and helps customers discover that they can edit their order.

​
Why do this

Shopify’s default order confirmation email has a “View your order” button. Customers click it but don’t know they can actually edit the order. A simple text change fixes that — and a small message below the button tells them exactly how long they have. Before: “View your order” After: “View or Edit your order” + a line saying how long they have to make changes.

​
What you’ll change

Button text

Change “View your order” to “View or Edit your order”

Edit window message

Add a line below the button: “You have 60 minutes to edit your order.”
The button still links to {{ order_status_url }} — the same order status page where the Revize editing portal is visible. Nothing changes about how the link works.

​
Step-by-step setup

​
Step 1: Open the notification template

1

Go to Shopify Admin

Open your Shopify Admin and click Settings in the bottom-left corner.
2

Open Notifications

Click Notifications in the settings menu.
3

Select the email template

Click Order confirmation (this is the most common one to edit). You can repeat this for any notification that has a “View your order” button — like Shipping confirmation or Shipping update.
4

Open the code editor

Click Edit code in the top-right corner of the email editor. Shopify will open the HTML/Liquid template.

​
Step 2: Find the button

Use Ctrl + F (Windows) or Cmd + F (Mac) to search for: 
View your order
You’ll find it inside a button element that looks something like this: 
<a href="{{ order_status_url }}">View your order</a>
The exact HTML around it varies by theme, but the text and URL are always the same.

​
Step 3: Change the button text

Replace the button text with: 
<a href="{{ order_status_url }}">View or Edit your order</a>
That’s it — the link stays the same, only the label changes.

​
Step 4: Add the edit window message

Directly below the button code, add this line: 
<p style="font-size: 14px; color: #666666; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center;">
  You have 60 minutes to edit your order after checkout.
</p>
Replace 60 minutes with whatever your actual edit window is set to. If your edit window is 30 minutes, write “30 minutes.” If it’s 2 hours, write “2 hours.”

​
Step 5: Preview and save

1

Preview the email

Click Preview to see how the updated email looks. Confirm the button text reads “View or Edit your order” and the message appears below it.
2

Send a test email (optional)

Click Send test email to see exactly what customers will receive in their inbox.
3

Save

Click Save to apply the changes. All future order confirmation emails will use the new button text and message.

​
Example result

Here’s what the customer sees in their inbox after the change: 
Thank you for your order!

[ View your order ]
The button links to the order status page where the Revize editing portal is live. Customers see their order summary and all available editing options.

​
Troubleshooting

Some themes use slightly different wording like “View my order” or “View order details.” Try searching for order_status_url instead — that’s the URL variable Shopify uses, and the button text will be right next to it.
Make sure you pasted the <p> tag after the closing </a> tag of the button, not inside it. If the button is wrapped in a table cell (<td>), place the message inside the same cell but after the button link.
Yes — it’s standard HTML. Change the font-size, color, or margin-top values to match your brand. You can also make it bold with <strong> or change the alignment.
No. Each notification template is independent. Changes to the order confirmation template won’t affect shipping confirmations or any other email. You’ll need to update each one separately.
Done. Customers will now see “View or Edit your order” in their order confirmation email, with a clear message about how long they have to make changes.
