How to Preview Notification Emails

Although the Shopify Admin does have a "Preview" and "Send test email" action on the notification templates, these aren't super useful when previewing the changes made above for Product Customizer compatibility. This is due to the fact that the Shopify notification previews don't include any item customizations like the ones added by Product Customizer. The Shopify Admin notification preview can at least confirm that there are no major HTML/Liquid errors with the notification template.

There are two main ways to "preview" the modifications made for Product Customizer: place a new (test) order for a customized product, or re-send the order confirmation notification for an existing order. The first way is self-explanatory and is the only option for all notifications except for the Order Confirmation email. The second way can only be used for the Order Confirmation email (which is the most common email to modify) and the process isn't necessarily obvious so we'll cover the steps here:

  1. After customizing your Order Confirmation template as described above, go to Orders and click on an order that you know has one or more Product Customizer customizations

  2. From the Order Edit screen note the current order email address somewhere (e.g. "john.doe@example.com"). Then change the order email by:

  1. Click "Edit" next to the email address

  2. Enter your email address

  3. Make sure the "Update customer profile" box is unchecked

  4. Click "Save"

As shown in the screenshot below:

3. Next scroll down to the bottom of the Edit Order screen, and click the "Resend email" button as shown in the following screenshot:

4. Once you've received the notification and are happy with it, don't forget to change the order email back to the original noted in step 2 above!
