How to find delivery instructions submitted by a customer
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.
Verify that a delivery note submitted during checkout reaches the correct order and can be found by staff.
When to use this guide
Use this before asking fulfilment staff to rely on checkout delivery notes.
Before you begin
Use Shopify Plus and the current Rivio feature entitlement. Save the active configuration and its matching supported checkout placement before testing.
Worked example
Submit Please ring the side-door bell through the Delivery instructions block on a test checkout.
Step-by-step instructions
- Open Delivery instructions and confirm the saved label and configuration.
- Place the matching block in the supported checkout location and save Shopify’s editor.
- Enter the test note in an actual checkout and complete a test order. Record its order number.
- Open the resulting order in Shopify admin and inspect the order’s additional details or custom attributes for the saved instruction.
- Compare the exact saved value with the submitted text; distinguish it from a separate order note.
- If an integration sends instructions to fulfilment, follow this same order through that integration and confirm the note arrives.

Verify the result
| Test | Expected result or check |
|---|---|
| Note submitted and order completed | The test note is found on the matching order. |
| No note entered | No fabricated instruction should appear. |
| Fulfilment integration | The destination contains the note only if the integration passes it through. |

Limitations
- A note does not guarantee that a carrier will follow the instruction.
- Integration handling must be verified separately.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | What to check |
|---|---|
| The expected result does not appear | Check the saved state, exact feature configuration, supported page, and matching test inputs. |
| The preview and actual page differ | Use a real test checkout, completed order, or signed-in account; editor data is simulated. |
| A change has an unexpected effect | Repeat the same test with one relevant setting changed. Review other active rules before adding another copy. |
