# Update Shopify Order Notes

> [!WARNING]

> Shopify Actions must be [active](https://help.gladly.com/docs/work-with-shopify-actions#activate-shopify-actions) to use any Actions feature or see additional Shopify order data in the Customer Profile.

Internal notes about an order can be left in Shopify using the **Notes** field to provide additional context/details about a particular order.

![Order details showing product quantities and customer notes for a specific order.](https://cdn.us.document360.io/7047b671-c4f2-4df0-bb0a-b9b511fd2452/Images/Documentation/Shopify-notes-field.png)The note appears in the same order on the Customer's Profile in Gladly.

![Order details for a refunded jewelry purchase including tracking and financial information.](https://cdn.us.document360.io/7047b671-c4f2-4df0-bb0a-b9b511fd2452/Images/Documentation/Shopify-Notes-in-Gladly.png)You can edit this Shopify order note without leaving Gladly.

1. Open the order in question in the **Order** section on the left side of the screen and click ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/7047b671-c4f2-4df0-bb0a-b9b511fd2452/Images/Documentation/down-caret-icon.svg) to expand the order details.
2. Click **Edit Notes**.
3. From the **Update Order <order#> Notes** screen, enter the updated note about the order in the**Order Note** field.
4. Click **Update Order Notes**.
5. The updated note appears in the Notes field on the order details and the Conversation Timeline. This action also updates the Notes section in Shopify for the related order.

## Add a Shopify order note

If there's no order note in Shopify (and in Gladly), click **Edit Note** to enter a note and click **Update Order Notes**. The steps to add (if there's no note) or edit (if there's an existing note) a note are the same.

## Missing 'Edit Notes' option

If you cannot see the Edit Notes feature, check if****the**Actions** [setting](https://help.gladly.com/docs/set-up-shopify-integration#edit-an-existing-shopify-connection) in the Shopify configuration page is activated. Then, make sure the **Edit Order Notes** setting is activated.
