3. Services Overview
Account Editor provides an advanced set of features aimed at improving your customers' post-purchase experience. These features include the ability to edit orders, manage cancellations, and handle notifications. The following outlines the core functionality:
3.1 Editable Components
Customizable Order Edits: Account Editor allows merchants to enable or disable the option for customers to edit their orders. Customers can modify critical information such as:
Contact details
Shipping address
Product details (e.g., size, color, quantity)
Control Over Editable Components: Merchants can determine which components of an order can be edited and under what conditions. For example, you may choose to allow customers to update their shipping information but restrict product modifications.
3.2 Order Modification Timeframes
Customizable Time Windows: Merchants can configure specific timeframes within which customers can edit their orders. These windows are customizable to fit the nature of the products you sell. For instance:
Default timeframe: 24 hours
Custom timeframes can be set based on business needs
Timeframe Enforcement: After the defined modification window expires, customers will no longer be able to make changes to their orders, and they may be required to contact support for further assistance.
3.3 Smart Cancellations
Flexible Refund Options: Account Editor allows merchants to configure flexible cancellation policies, offering customers the option to cancel orders and receive a refund. Merchants can offer refunds in the form of:
Store Credit: A percentage of the purchase or full order value can be refunded as store credit, providing the customer with the option to make future purchases.
Direct Payments: Refunds can be issued directly to the customer's original payment method.
Restocking Fees: Merchants can set configurable restocking fees for canceled orders, ensuring that the business is protected from costs incurred by returns.
3.4 Audit Trails
Order Modification Logs: Every change made to an order, whether it is an update to the shipping details or a cancellation, is logged in an Audit Trail. This log maintains a record of who made the change, when it was made, and what specific modifications were applied.
Transparency and Accountability: The audit trail helps merchants track order modifications for transparency and ensures compliance with business policies and regulatory requirements.
3.5 Notifications
Real-Time Alerts: Both merchants and customers will receive notifications whenever changes are made to an order. Notifications may include:
Confirmation of order modifications

Shipping status updates
Customizable Notification Settings: Merchants can control what type of notifications are sent to customers, allowing for a tailored communication experience.
