Download link device issue template for Shopify merchants
A response when the download works on one device but not another, or the shopper is unsure. It keeps the reply concrete and careful: collect safe order lookup details, avoid requesting secrets, and do not promise a replacement link, refund, restored access, delivery outcome, or exact timing.

A response when the download works on one device but not another, or the shopper is unsure.
Keep these guardrails
- Ask for device and browser context
- Keep advice non-invasive
- Do not ask for remote access
Do not collect secrets
Ask only for details needed to locate the order record, such as order number, checkout email, device, browser, and visible error text. Do not ask for passwords, one-time codes, private links, remote access, full payment details, or bank information.

Adapt it safely
