CartRover & GetQuickMail — Holding Orders Until Edit Window Ends (Account Editor)

Purpose



Help merchants using CartRover (Extensiv) or GetQuickMail ensure that post-purchase edits made via Account Editor are completed before orders are sent to fulfillment.


This article directly addresses the most common integration complaint:


“Account Editor shows the update, but my 3PL shipped the original order.”


⭐ Why This Matters


Many 3PLs do not wait for post-purchase editing windows.

If CartRover or GetQuickMail receives an order too early:


  • Product swaps may be ignored
  • Address updates may not sync
  • Quantity changes may be missed
  • Fulfillment teams ship the wrong version


👉 Account Editor works correctly — but fulfillment timing must be controlled.


⚙️ How Holding Orders Solves the Problem


Account Editor edits orders inside Shopify.

CartRover and GetQuickMail rely on Shopify events or sync rules to decide when to pull or receive orders.

By temporarily holding orders, you ensure:


  • Customers finish editing
  • Payments are confirmed
  • Final order state is sent to fulfillment


🧩 CartRover (Extensiv) — Hold Orders Using Tags + Shopify Flow


CartRover supports tag-based filtering, making it ideal for edit-window holds.


✅ How It Works (CartRover)


  1. Order is created in Shopify
  2. Shopify Flow adds a HOLD tag
  3. CartRover ignores orders with the HOLD tag
  4. After the edit window ends, the tag is removed
  5. CartRover syncs the finalized order automatically


🪜 Step-by-Step Setup (CartRover)


Step 1: Create the HOLD Tag Flow in Shopify Flow

Flow logic:

  • Trigger: Order Created
  • Action: Add order tag → HOLD
  • Wait: Match your edit window (e.g. 60 minutes)
  • Action: Remove order tag → HOLD

Flow


📌 Result: Orders remain editable until the tag is removed.


Step 2: Configure CartRover to Skip HOLD Orders

Path in CartRover:

Carts → Your Shopify Store → Edit Setup

Shopify Cart Setup → Order Filters

📬 GetQuickMail — Control Fulfillment via Shopify Settings + Flow


GetQuickMail does not pull orders itself.

It relies on Shopify fulfillment triggers.

This gives you full control.


✅ How It Works (GetQuickMail)


  • Shopify creates the order
  • Shopify does not auto-fulfill
  • Account Editor allows edits
  • Once final, fulfillment is triggered
  • GetQuickMail receives only the finalized order


🪜 Step-by-Step Setup (GetQuickMail)


Step 1: Disable Automatic Fulfillment in Shopify

Path:

Shopify Admin → Settings → Checkout → Order Processing

Auto Fulfilment Off


Required Setting


Setting

Value

After an order has been paid

Don’t fulfill any line items automatically


📌 This prevents GetQuickMail from receiving orders too early.


Step 2: Enable Reverse Unpaid Order Edits in Account Editor

Path:

Account Editor → Admin → Order Hold & Revert Settings


Required Setting


Setting

Value

Reverse unpaid order edits

ON

📌 Ensures unpaid upsell edits are reverted before fulfillment.


Reverse Unpaid Order


Step 3: (Optional) Use Shopify Flow to Trigger Fulfillment

If needed, trigger fulfillment after your edit window using Flow.


Example:

  • Trigger: Order Updated
  • Condition: Edit window expired
  • Action: Fulfill order

Shopify Flow


🧪 Example Timeline (GetQuickMail)


Time

Event

10:00

Order placed

10:00–10:30

Customer edits order

10:30

Edit window ends

10:35

Fulfillment triggered

After

GetQuickMail receives final order



Match edit window = hold duration

Always enable Reverse unpaid order edits
