Download link follow-up template for Shopify merchants
A neutral follow-up after the shopper reports that a download link still does not work. 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.
Use this when
A neutral follow-up after the shopper reports that a download link still does not work.
Keep these guardrails
- Acknowledge the continued issue
- Ask for the changed or new error detail
- Avoid repeating the same generic troubleshooting only
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.

Thanks for following up. We will look at the updated information and compare it with the order record.
Please send the latest error message, your order number, and the checkout email. Do not send private download URLs, passwords, one-time codes, or payment details.
We will reply with the next support step available from the information we can safely check.
Adapt it safely
- Replace outcome promises with one clear support step.
- Use your own digital delivery policy before mentioning access windows.
- Ask for visible error text instead of private download links.
- Keep refund, replacement, and access decisions separate from the first acknowledgement.
