When a customer interacts with Order Editing, the app automatically tags the Shopify order to reflect what happened. These tags let you track order changes, build Shopify Flow automations, filter orders in your Shopify admin, and integrate with third-party tools that read order tags.
This article covers every tag Order Editing can apply, grouped by category. Each tag is shown in code format exactly as it appears on the Shopify order.
💡 Tip: You can use these tags as triggers or conditions in Shopify Flow workflows. For example, trigger a Flow when an order is tagged with orderediting:cancellation_requested to route cancellation requests to your support team for manual review.

FAQ
Can an order have multiple Order Editing tags?
Yes. An order can accumulate multiple tags as the customer makes different changes. For example, if a customer adds a product and updates their shipping address, the order will be tagged with both orderediting:product_added and orderediting:shipping.
Can I use these tags in Shopify Flow?
Yes. All Order Editing tags can be used as triggers or conditions in Shopify Flow workflows. This is one of the most powerful uses of tags. You can build automations like: when an order is tagged with orderediting:cancellation_requested, send a Slack notification to your ops team, or when an order is tagged with requires_customer_support, create a support ticket automatically.
Can I remove Order Editing tags from an order?
Yes. Order Editing tags behave like any other Shopify order tag. You can remove them manually from the order detail page in your Shopify admin, or remove them programmatically via Shopify Flow or the Shopify API. Removing a tag doesn't reverse the action it represents.
Can I filter orders by these tags in my Shopify admin?
Yes. In your Shopify admin, go to Orders and use the tag filter to search for any Order Editing tag. This is useful for finding all orders where a specific action occurred, like all cancelled orders or all orders with address changes.
