Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about what the app does—and what it doesn’t pretend to do.
Q1 — What does this app do in one sentence?
It helps merchants adjust line quantities and unit prices on existing Shopify orders, edit shipping fee and cart / order-level discount in the totals band when Shopify allows in-place work on that order, preview those edits, update shipping/billing addresses when needed, and commit changes through store‑configured methods—including paths for upward repricing.
Q2 — Is this only for discounts?
No. A core use case is upward repricing—raising a line’s unit price when your policy or reality requires it—not only discount‑style edits.
Q3 — Can I change shipping fee and order-level discount here?
Yes, on orders where the editor can apply changes in place. Use a fixed shop-currency amount or a percent of the current line-item subtotal (the same basis as Subtotal). Shipping is usually updated on this order. Raising discount on a clean order may still require line-item discounts in Shopify’s native order edit; if the order already has Shopify discounts or codes, or you lower discount versus what was loaded, saving may require void plus a replacement order—the preview step will say so.
Q4 — When does saving require void and a replacement order?
Examples include raising a line’s unit price, changing only the billing address, or certain shipping/discount moves Shopify cannot represent as a quick edit on the order you’re viewing. The app completes the outcome with a deliberate path; the preview explains what will happen before you commit.
Q5 — Why would I need “void and recreate”?
Some corrections can’t be represented cleanly with a simple in‑place edit. Depending on your settings and the change, the app may complete the outcome by voiding/cancelling appropriately and creating a replacement order so totals, taxes, and downstream systems stay coherent.
Q6 — Can I fix billing addresses?
Yes. Billing address corrections are a first‑class part of the flow. They may follow the same careful paths as upward repricing when Shopify’s model requires it.
Q7 — Will I see changes before they go live?
Yes. Changes are meant to be reviewed in a diff/preview step before commit so operators know exactly what will sync.
Q8 — Will customers always be notified?
No. Notification behavior is a control in the commit step—use it according to your SOP and jurisdiction.
Q9 — What permissions does the app need?
The app uses Shopify scopes required to read and write orders, work with order edits and draft orders, and read supporting catalog/customer context. See your App Store listing and the in‑app documentation for the authoritative scope list.
Q10 — Where can I see a history of changes?
Inside the embedded app, Activity (reprice runs) lists outcomes, errors, void/recreate flags, and trace IDs to speed up support and finance follow‑up.
Q11 — How is billing handled?
Subscriptions and usage are handled through Shopify app billing. After install, use the Plans page in the app for the live state of your shop.
Q12 — Can I use this outside Shopify Admin?
The merchant product is an embedded Shopify app. It’s designed to run inside Admin with App Bridge—not as a standalone public dashboard.
Q13 — Is Shopify responsible for this app?
No. Reprice Order Price Editor is built by an independent developer. Shopify hosts the commerce platform; the app is a separate product—see the footer disclaimer.
Q14 — Who do I contact for support?
Use the Support page on this site or the support channel listed in the App Store listing. When reporting an issue, include a trace ID from Activity when possible.
