The notes and their uses
Where each note appears, and what is worth putting in one.
The three notes
Text that travels with this product when somebody buys it
no stored settingsA product can carry three pieces of text that appear after purchase rather than before it. They share one card with three tabs, each a full editor that can hold links, lists and images, and each lands somewhere different. A tab says Empty until it has text. The section starts folded; open it from the left list.
The Order confirmation page tab is the Order confirmation page note, shown on the order confirmation page after they buy it: the moment of highest attention and the shortest memory.
The Order email tab is the Order email note, added to the order confirmation email. This is the one people keep and search for later, so anything they will need again belongs here.
The My Account tab is the Order details note, shown with the order in the customer’s account, which is where a customer goes back to look at an order weeks later.
💡 Note: The email note and the order details note can both be found again later. The order confirmation page note is seen once, straight after checkout. What else that page shows is described in The Order Confirmation Page.
What to put in them
The cases where a per-product note saves a support message
no stored settingsThese notes are for what is true of one product and not the rest of your catalog, where putting it in a store-wide email template would confuse everybody who bought something else.
Typical uses: care or assembly instructions, a licence key or activation step, a warning that a made-to-order item takes three weeks, collection instructions for something too large to post, allergen or safety information, or what happens next on a service or booking.
The test is simple. If buying this product reliably produces the same question a few days later, the answer belongs in the order email note, and the question stops arriving.
💡 Note: Wording that applies to every order belongs in the email templates under Settings › Emails & Documents › Email rather than being repeated on each product.
