Notification variables reference

Notifications sent out from your store are rendered using Liquid. Liquid is Shopify's simple, easy-to-use programming language. It's the same programming language that themes from the Theme Store are built on.

To edit the notifications that are sent from your store, you can make basic customizations to your notification templates.

For help with more advanced changes, or to make changes to custom notification templates, you can reach out to the community on our forums, or you can also hire a Shopify Expert to do your customizations for you. Learn more about hiring Shopify Experts.

Here is a list of Liquid notification templates that you can customize from the Shopify admin:

• Abandoned checkout
• Contact customer
• Customer account invite
• Customer account welcome
• Customer account password reset
• Draft order invoice
• Fulfillment request
• Gift card created
• New order
• New order (mobile)
• Order invoice
• Order canceled
• Order confirmation
• Order refund
• Payment reminder
• POS and mobile receipt
• Shipping confirmation
• Shipping update

All templates in the Shopify admin have access to the properties of their corresponding order.

Order properties

Many properties of an order are available directly using Liquid, in templates, and in additional scripts.

The properties of an order are available in the following templates:

• Order confirmation
• New order
• New order (mobile)
• Order invoice
• Shipping confirmation
• Shipping update
• Additional scripts
• Fulfillment request
• Payment reminder

Note

The order object isn't referenced by name in email templates. For example, instead of using {{ order.shipping_method.title }} in your order confirmation email template, you should use {{ shipping_method.title }}. However, for SMS notifications, order properties need to be prepended with order as usual.
