Managing Shopify Order Edits with Bookkeep

Shopify order edits can disrupt reporting and affect sales calculations. Shopify outlines the risks and challenges involved with order edits here: Shopify Order Edits.

Shopify describes an order edit as: "After an order is placed, you can edit it by adding items, removing items, and adjusting item quantities."

Potential Considerations Before Editing an Order

• Some apps might not recognize order edits. After you edit an order, the data in your apps might be incorrect.
• Some discounts aren't recalculated after you edit an order.
• Shipping methods and rates are not recalculated when you edit an order.
• If your fulfillment services don't work with order edits, then editing an item can cause missed or incomplete orders.
• If you sell in multiple currencies and an order is placed in a currency other than your store currency, then you can't edit it.
• If you edit an order after the day the order was placed, then the edit appears as a separate order in your reports. The reports display the edit as if it is a new order, even though a new order hasn't been created.
