Can Customers Edit Orders Post Purchase?

Yes, With Guardrails You Control

With SHIPAID, customers can edit their shipping address after checkout, within a time window you define. That gives shoppers modern flexibility while keeping your operations in control.

You choose whether that window is 15 minutes, 60 minutes, or 2 hours. The rules are fully configurable.

How It Works

Post purchase edits run through a secure, branded experience that fits your store.

1. A customer places an order
2. They see the option to edit their address on the Thank You page or Order Status page, wherever you place the Order Edit widget
3. Edits are allowed only within your set time window
4. When the window closes, the order is locked for fulfillment

Your team stays in control. Your customers feel empowered.

Why It Matters

Order mistakes happen. Customers use an old address, move, or realize a gift needs to go somewhere else. A managed edit window reduces delivery issues and avoids unnecessary back and forth with support.

Customer benefits:

• Fewer delays or returns from address errors
• Confidence that your brand is flexible and helpful
• Fewer emails or chats for simple changes

Merchant benefits:

• Fewer failed deliveries and reshipments
• Lower support volume
• Cleaner address data in your systems
• Better customer satisfaction and retention

The Business Impact

Customer retention

Letting customers fix mistakes builds trust and keeps them coming back.

Support efficiency

Self service edits mean fewer tickets for your team.

Reduced costs

Accurate shipping details reduce failed deliveries, chargebacks, and refund claims. That helps protect your margins.

Higher lifetime value

A smoother post purchase experience drives loyalty, and loyal customers are worth more over time.
