Shopify customer support templates you can copy‑paste (without sounding robotic)
If you support a Shopify store, you already know the “big five” ticket types: WISMO (where is my order), returns, refunds, cancellations, and address changes. This page is a practical library of replies you can copy, tweak in 10 seconds, and send with confidence.
Start with the templates that cover most tickets
You don’t need 500 canned replies. You need 10–15 that are clear, calm, and consistent — and a way to paste them fast without missing order details.
Shipping reply templates (WISMO)
Tracking updates, shipping delays, investigations, missing parcels — written to calm customers down, not escalate.
Delivered but not received (DNR) templates
The exact wording for porch piracy, “check with neighbors,” and investigations — plus what to request.
Order cancellation macros
Partial cancellations, out‑of‑stock options, and clean refund wording you can paste into any helpdesk.
Address changes & order edits
A simple decision tree + templates for “please change my address,” “swap size,” and “can I edit my order?”
Returns templates
Return eligibility, RMA steps, and how to say “no” politely when a return is outside policy.
Partial refund & goodwill credit templates
Offer a partial refund (or store credit) without making it feel like a brush‑off — clear, fair, and friendly.
The fastest teams don’t re‑type order details. They copy a clean summary (name, order ID, items, tracking, address) and then drop the right template on top.
Edge cases (still common enough to deserve a template)
These are the tickets that can go sideways if you don’t have a calm, consistent reply ready.
Damaged item templates
Photo requests, replacement timelines, and how to handle packaging damage without blaming the customer.
Return to sender playbook
RTS happens. Here’s the clean way to respond, re‑ship, refund, and prevent repeat issues.
International shipping & customs templates
Duties/taxes wording, customs delays, and “why is tracking stuck?” replies that don’t overpromise.
Fraud verification macros
A practical verification flow: what to ask for, how to explain it, and how to protect customers politely.
Chargeback support workflow
What evidence to collect, what to say to the customer, and how to keep the timeline clear.
Backorder & preorder macros
Expectation setting, ETA updates, and “cancel or wait?” options — written to reduce churn.
Using Gorgias or Zendesk?
These pages turn the templates above into clean macro packs and help you organize them.
Gorgias macros library
Macro packs for Shopify support + a variables cheat sheet so you can personalize fast.

Gorgias macro variables cheat sheet
The placeholders you actually use (order number, tracking link, first name) — with examples.
A good template does 80% of the work — you do the last 20%: confirm the order status, add a real next step, and match the customer’s tone.
- Personalize one sentence (timeline, next step, or policy detail)
- Use fewer exclamation points — clarity beats cheerleading
- When you don’t know, say what you’ll do next (and when you’ll follow up)
FAQ
Do these templates work for Shopify customer care teams?
Yes — “customer care” is usually the same thing in ecommerce: shipping updates, returns, refunds, and order issues for your Shopify store.
Can I use these as macros?
Absolutely. Paste them into Gorgias/Zendesk macros, Help Scout snippets, or even Gmail templates. If you want a faster copy flow from Shopify Admin, install the free extension.
Are you affiliated with Shopify?
No. Casekit is an independent tool built for ecommerce support teams.
