Shopify programs / order changes
Update the reward explanation when the purchase changes
An edit, cancellation, or return can affect the purchase connected to an eReward. The program needs to apply its actual conditions and keep the digital messages consistent with the stage already reached.
Identify which stage the customer has seen
Before sending an update, establish whether the recipient has seen a qualification message, a delivery notification, or the card information itself.
| Stage | Communication question |
|---|---|
| Before qualification | Does the changed purchase still meet the offer? |
| After an eligibility decision | Does the outcome require reconsideration under the terms? |
| After a notification | Does the existing message still describe the correct next step? |
| After access | Which program or card-support route addresses the change? |
Separate the refund from the reward
An order refund concerns the purchase. The promotional reward follows its own applicable conditions. Do not invent a universal policy for cancelling cards, recovering value, or replacing a refund with a reward. Direct purchase and card-use questions to their respective owners.
Avoid contradictory messages
A customer should not receive an unchanged 'ready' message while being told the reward is under review. Keep the current state and next action understandable. If an outcome is unresolved, explain that fact without promising a delivery date or final decision that is not known.
