OrderlyEmails updated to latest Shopify requirements

Yesterday, Shopify sent out an email to many stores letting them know that some email templates require an update. The update relates to how some tax information will be shown in the order emails sent to customers, after an upcoming Shopify change.

OrderlyEmails has been updated to be fully compatible with these new requirements, and removes the need to manually make code changes to your email templates. Read on to learn if you should update your templates to the latest version.

 

You can ignore this update if

• You have the setting "All prices include tax" enabled. Link to check setting
  
  AND

• You have the setting "Include or exclude tax based on your customer’s country" disabled. Link to check setting

 

You should update your emails if

• You have the setting "All prices include tax" disabled. Link to check setting
  
  OR

• You have the setting "Include or exclude tax based on your customer’s country" enabled. Link to check setting

If your emails should be updated, then please follow the steps under "Update 1" and "Update 2" below. This will ensure your email templates designed with OrderlyEmails include the necessary changes from Shopify.
