Putting Wunder details on your Shopify emails

You want your order confirmation email to show the gift message, or the buyer’s own name, or the delivery date. All of that is on the order — so it should be a matter of dropping in a variable.

It is, but not the variable you are expecting.

Where to edit

In your Shopify admin: Settings → Notifications → Customer notifications, then pick the email — usually Order confirmation. Edit the code, and use Preview and Send test before you save anything your customers will see.

The four things that silently return nothing

Read these first. Each one produces a blank rather than an error, so you will not be told you got it wrong.

What maps to what

What you want	Where it lives on the order	Shopify Liquid
Buyer’s first name	Attribute Buyer-First-Name	attributes["Buyer-First-Name"]
Buyer’s last name	Attribute Buyer-Last-Name	attributes["Buyer-Last-Name"]
Buyer’s phone	Attribute Buyer-Phone	attributes["Buyer-Phone"]
Gift message for the order	Attribute Gift-Message	attributes["Gift-Message"]
Message on one product	Line-item property 【Card message】	Loop the line items — see below
Delivery date and time	Whatever your delivery app writes	attributes["Delivery-Date"]
AI note	Metafield wunder.ai_note	order.metafields.wunder.ai_note.value
AI-checked address	Metafield wunder.ai_address	order.metafields.wunder.ai_address.value

Two more worth knowing about:

• delivery_status is a placeholder in the app — it is hard-coded to an empty string and prints blank even on your dispatch sheets. Use Shopify’s own {{ fulfillment_status }}.
• The QR code variables point at your Shopify admin and at the driver portal. They are staff and driver links. Do not put either in a customer email.

Gift message and item list

This handles both places a per-product message can live: an edit your team made after checkout wins, and the original checkout property is the fallback.

{% assign gift = attributes["Gift-Message"] %}
{% if gift != blank %}<p><strong>Gift message:</strong> {{ gift }}</p>{% endif %}

<table width="100%" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="0">
  {% for line in line_items %}
    {% assign lk = "gid://shopify/LineItem/" | append: line.id %}
    {% assign edited = order.metafields.wunder.card_messages.value[lk] %}
    {% assign msg = edited | default: line.properties["【Card message】"] %}
    <tr>
      <td>{{ line.quantity }} &times; {{ line.title }}
        {% if msg != blank %}<br><em>{{ msg | newline_to_br }}</em>{% endif %}
      </td>
      <td align="right">{{ line.final_line_price | money }}</td>
    </tr>
  {% endfor %}
</table>

The buyer’s own details

With fallbacks for orders placed before the field names were tidied up.

{% assign bf = attributes["Buyer-First-Name"] | default: attributes["Buyer first name"] %}
{% assign bl = attributes["Buyer-Last-Name"] | default: attributes["Buyer last name"] %}
{% assign bp = attributes["Buyer-Phone"] | default: attributes["Buyer phone"] %}
{% if bf != blank or bl != blank %}
  <p><strong>Ordered by:</strong> {{ bf }} {{ bl }}{% if bp != blank %} &middot; {{ bp }}{% endif %}</p>
{% endif %}

Delivery or collection, with the date

This mirrors how the app decides between the two headings.

{% if attributes["Checkout-Method"] == "pickup" %}
  <h3>PICKUP</h3>
  <p>{{ attributes["Pickup-Location-Company"] }}<br>
     {{ attributes["Pickup-Location-Address-Line-1"] }}, {{ attributes["Pickup-Location-Address-City"] }}</p>
{% else %}
  <h3>DELIVERY</h3>
  <p>{{ shipping_address | format_address }}</p>
{% endif %}
<p>{{ attributes["Delivery-Date"] }} {{ attributes["Delivery-Time"] }}</p>

The AI note and checked address

Only useful once the metafield definitions above exist.

{% assign checked = order.metafields.wunder.ai_address.value %}
{% assign note = order.metafields.wunder.ai_note.value %}
{% if checked != blank %}<p><strong>Address:</strong> {{ checked | newline_to_br }}</p>{% endif %}
{% if note != blank %}<p><strong>Note:</strong> {{ note | newline_to_br }}</p>{% endif %}

Before you save

1. Use Preview on the notification template.
2. Use Send test to your own address.
3. Then test against a real order that actually has the data — a preview uses sample data, and sample data has no Wunder attributes on it, so everything you just added will look blank whether or not it works.

That last point catches almost everyone.
