Use case

Customers are used to waiting for a manual email and need a clear explanation of the new self-serve delivery route.

Writing rule

Keep old-platform references factual and non-affiliated. Do not promise delivery timing, manual handling, or human review. Explain the self-serve flow and where customers can find support.

Compliance note

This is a self-serve copy resource, not a checkout, waitlist, migration service, account repair offer, or third-party support desk.

Draft reply

Subject: About the current download path Hi [name], Thanks for checking. The customer-facing path for this digital product has changed, so an older download link, receipt page, course area, or account route may not match the current Shopify instructions. The current place to start is: [current product page or support page]. If you need help locating an order, please send only your order number or purchase email. Please do not send passwords, one-time codes, card details, private account links, mailbox access, API keys, or remote access. This reply explains the current support route and does not promise old-link restoration, third-party account changes, redirect coverage, or a custom migration service. Thanks, [store name]

Customize safely

Replace [current product page or support page] with the public page that customers can use now.

Support boundary

Keep the answer focused on the current Shopify delivery path and published policy, not private platform access.

Useful CTA

Link to product preview, product status, Delivery & Support, Terms, or a current resource page.
