No-promise download link template for Shopify merchants
A conservative template for digital delivery issues where the merchant wants to avoid overpromising. 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 conservative template for digital delivery issues where the merchant wants to avoid overpromising.
Keep these guardrails
- No promise of replacement, access restoration, refund, or delivery outcome
- Ask only for order lookup details
- Use exact next-step language
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.
