How to configure Line item message on Thank you and Order status pages
What you will achieve in this guide
Follow the feature-specific setup and testing instructions below. Check the supported pages and plan requirements before activating the feature.
Use Line item message on its supported pages to help customers with the task described below. Configure it in Rivio, save its activation state, and then add the corresponding block in Shopify’s checkout and accounts editor.
Supported pages and requirements
Supported pages: Thank you, Order status. Eligible Thank you and Order status app blocks are supported on Shopify Basic and higher. Your Rivio app plan must also include the feature. Check the page labels on the current block card before setup.
When to use this block
- Show care instructions beside a particular purchased product.
- Explain a product-specific dispatch or preorder timeline.
Configuration settings
| Setting | How to configure it |
|---|---|
| Message | Write the note customers should see beside the eligible item. |
| Product scope | Select the exact intended products or variants using the available matching controls. |
| Preview | Use an order containing one matching item and one unrelated item. |
Use the controls available in your current configuration screen. Save a clearly named configuration, then confirm that Shopify’s editor uses that same configuration.
Screenshot to add: The Line item message configuration form with its content and appearance settings visible.
Rivio blocks add content or input fields to supported checkout and account pages. Configure the content in Rivio and place the block in Shopify’s editor.
Worked example: Show a lead time for one product
Example setup: Demo Preorder Jacket and an unrelated in-stock shirt.
Step-by-step instructions
Open UI extension blocks and find Line item message. Check the supported pages on its card.
Choose Set up or Manage and create a configuration with a clear internal name.
Enter Ships in 2 weeks as the line-item message, using your actual fulfillment promise.
Select Demo Preorder Jacket using the supported product scope or matching controls.
Leave the unrelated shirt outside that scope.
Preview the message and verify it is associated with the intended item.
Review the preview and any display conditions. For the first demo, leave optional conditions empty so you can isolate placement.
Save as Active. Open the Checkout and Accounts Editor, select the intended configuration and supported target page, and add the matching Rivio block in a supported location.
Select the saved configuration if prompted and save Shopify’s editor. Test the actual customer page on desktop and a phone.
Verify the result
| Test case | Expected result or verification |
|---|---|
| Jacket plus shirt cart | The message appears under the scoped jacket, not the unrelated shirt. |
| Shirt-only cart | No jacket lead-time message should appear. |
| Jacket removed | Verify the message is no longer attached to another line. |
Important: A line-item message explains a product; it does not change inventory or shipping-rate calculations. Checkout-step UI blocks require Shopify Plus. For another surface, use only the pages supported by this block’s card.
If the result is different
| Check | What it means / what to do |
|---|---|
| Configured but not visible | Confirm the matching block is placed and saved on the exact supported Shopify page/configuration. |
| Only some buyers see it | Compare Active status and condition inputs, including customer login and surface data. |
| Configuration is not applied | Check the saved configuration selected by the editor block and verify the correct page. |
Add and verify each supported placement
- Open Settings → Checkout in Shopify admin and customise the intended configuration.
- Select the exact supported page: Thank you, Order status. For Profile, use the customer-account page selector.
- Add the matching Rivio app block in a supported location and select the saved configuration if prompted.
- Save the editor. Add and save each other intended page separately; one placement does not establish every placement.
- Preview desktop and mobile, then test the actual checkout, completed order, or signed-in account appropriate to that page.
Screenshot to add: Shopify’s editor showing the Line item message block on the selected supported page, followed by the final customer view.
Limitations
- A line item message does not change inventory, fulfilment, or the order’s products.
- Keep the wording accurate when an order is revisited later.
Display conditions depend on the page. Customer tags require logged-in customer context. Selected shipping method is unavailable on Order status. On Profile, only Customer, Language, Market, and Time on page conditions are evaluated; cart and order conditions are ignored.
