Find a Shopify order by email or order number
Start with the customer's order reference or checkout email, then confirm the order before answering. Use Shopify Admin directly, or bring lookup and reply drafting together with CaseKit.
CaseKit works in Shopify Admin. The Gmail extension is optional.
No order number in this message. Two open orders match sarah.johnson@example.com.

How to look up an order in Shopify Admin
You can find and check an order without installing an app.
Search your store's Orders
Open Orders in Shopify Admin and search the order number or checkout email. If the message uses a different email address, ask for the original checkout details.
Confirm the match
Compare the customer, date and items with the question. For repeat customers, check which order they mean before sharing a tracking link.
Read the fulfillment details
Check whether the order is unfulfilled, partly fulfilled or fulfilled. Review the available shipment details before describing progress or a delivery estimate.
See Shopify's instructions for searching orders and viewing order details.
Bring the lookup into your support workflow
CaseKit uses your connected store's order data to help prepare the next reply.
Work in Shopify Admin
Open CaseKit, enter the order reference or customer email, and paste the message. Check the matched order, request a reply, then review and copy it into the inbox you use.
Answer from Gmail
After installing the Shopify app, connect the optional Chrome extension. It can find the order from the open conversation and offers manual search when you need a different reference.
Multiple matches still need your choice. See how CaseKit handles order matching and what the order card shows.
What to check when an order is missing
A missing result is a reason to verify the details before answering.
Different checkout email
The sender may not be using the email entered at checkout. Ask for the order number or checkout email, then search again.
Incorrect reference or store
Check the complete reference and that you are searching the store where the purchase was made. Do not use a similar-looking order as a substitute.
Older order
Shopify shares the last 60 days of order data with CaseKit by default. Older orders may be unavailable. A miss does not prove an order is old; verify it in Shopify Admin.
