The builder (Build Draft Order) is where you prepare a draft order before it goes to Shopify. Open it with Create Customize Cart on a cart page, Customize Draft or Continue Editing on the Draft Orders page, or Create New Draft.
Changes in the builder affect only the draft order. The shopper’s live cart stays exactly as it is.

Layout

Main column

Products — the line items, quantities, properties and total.Metafields — your store’s draft order metafields, if you’ve defined any.

Sidebar

Customer · Order Details (notes, attributes and the create button) · Tags

Products

Properties appear as blue badges under the product. Properties whose name starts with an underscore (_) are hidden, as they are in Shopify.
Editing line item properties needs the Advanced plan or above.

Metafields

If your store has metafield definitions for draft orders, they’re listed here with their name and type. Type a value into any field you want to fill in. Values are saved with the draft order. The card is hidden when you don’t have any draft order metafield definitions.

Customer

Works the same way as on the cart page: Add customer to search or create one, or use the ⋯ menu to change or remove the customer. When you pick a customer, their tags and metafields are brought into the draft order.

Order Details

  • Notes — the draft order note, visible in Shopify and on the invoice.
  • Cart Attributes — key–value pairs saved on the draft order. Click Add Attribute to add one, or the delete icon to remove one. (Advanced plan or above.)

Tags

Click the tags box (or the edit icon) to open Add tags:
  • Type to search your existing tags, or click Add ”…” to create a new one.
  • Click ↕ Frequently used to see the tags you use most.
  • Click Save to apply.

Saving vs. creating

The builder has two kinds of save: Discard in the save bar throws away unsaved changes. The create and update buttons stay disabled until the draft has at least one product.

After it’s in Shopify

Open the draft order from the Draft Orders page (View Draft) or the cart’s Conversion Summary. From Shopify admin you can add discounts and shipping, Send invoice, or Mark as paid. Edits you make to the draft order in Shopify — items, quantities, tags, note — are copied back to the app’s Draft Orders list automatically. When the shopper pays, Shopify creates the order as usual, and if the order’s email matches the cart’s customer, the cart is marked ✓ Order Placed.
