We will reply with instructions or a policy explanation. For reference, the relevant policy page is: {{policy_link}} Thanks, {{store_name}} Support

  • Only promise what your policy and operational status support.
  • Link the customer to the exact policy page when returns, refunds, subscriptions, privacy, or delivery timing is involved.
  • Remove any sentence that suggests Shopify endorses the message or store.
