Order confirmation not received template

No confirmation email? Tell them it went through.

Settle the real worry first, whether the order exists, then deal with the missing email.Updated · By Ziyad Basheer

Short answer

A missing order confirmation usually means the email went to spam or promotions, or the shopper typed a different address at checkout. Confirm the order exists and give its number, then resend the confirmation to the right address.

It did go through. order.name is placed, total order.total. Confirmation emails sometimes land in spam or promotions, so it is worth a look there. If it is not there either, our team can resend it.

Subject: Your confirmation for order.name
Hi customer.first_name, Good news, order.name went through, and I have resent the confirmation to this address. If it does not arrive within a few minutes, look in spam and promotions, and add store email to your contacts so the shipping email reaches your inbox.
Internal noteBefore you reply
Missing confirmation. Order: order.name. Check the email on the order for a typo, correct it in Shopify if needed, and resend the confirmation from the order page. If no order exists, the payment probably did not complete.

I placed an order an hour ago but never got a confirmation email. Did it work?

It did. Your order #1085 for the sneakers is placed, total $112.00. Confirmation emails sometimes land in spam or promotions, so it is worth a quick look there. If it is not there either, I can ask our team to resend it.
Customer
Found it in promotions. Thanks.
