Tag Order Automation

Overview

The Tag Order automation adds tags to Shopify orders connected to a claim. You can tag the original order when a claim is created or finalized, or tag the replacement order created to resolve the claim. Tags can be based on claim details, customer information, product attributes, or order data, giving you more visibility in Shopify for reporting, tracking, and post-purchase workflows.

A separate version of this automation is available for shipping claims. It runs when a shipping claim is finalized and can tag either the original protected order or the reorder created to resolve the claim.

What you can expect

With order tagging, you can:

• Tag the original Shopify order as soon as a return or warranty claim is created.
• Tag the original order or the replacement order when a return or warranty claim is finalized.
• Tag the original order or the reorder when a shipping claim is finalized.
• Base tagging on conditions like claim type, resolution method, reason, product, or customer details.
• Add the claim reason to the order as a tag (return and warranty claims only).
• Support downstream workflows in Shopify or other apps that rely on tags.

Features and functionality

Rule setup — returns and warranties

1. Go to Settings > Automations and create a new rule.
2. Under What would you like to do?, select Tag Order.
3. Name your rule (for example, “High Value Claims”).
4. Under At, choose when the rule runs:
   • Claim Creation: When the claim is submitted.
   • Claim Finalization: When the claim is finalized.
5. Add conditions such as:
   • Claim Type (Return or Warranty).
   • Resolution Method (for example, to tag only exchanges).
   • Claim Total Value (for example, greater than $100).
   • Product, order, or customer details.
6. Under Which order would you like to tag?, choose the order.
7. Under Order Tags, choose or type the tags to apply.

Rule setup — shipping claims

Shipping claim order tagging is configured from the shipping claims automations area, separate from return and warranty automations.

1. Go to Settings > Automations and open the shipping claims section.
2. Create a new Tag Order rule.
3. Name your rule.
4. Under Which order would you like to tag?, choose:
   • Original Order: The protected order the shipping claim was filed against.
   • Reorder: The reorder created to resolve the shipping claim.
5. Under Order Tags, choose or type the tags to apply.
6. Add conditions as needed, or leave them empty to tag every finalized shipping claim.
7. Save the rule and make sure it is Enabled.

This rule always runs at shipping claim finalization. There is no claim-creation trigger for shipping claims.

Choosing which order to tag

For return and warranty claims:

• Original Order: The order the claim was created from. Available at both triggers.
• Replacement Order (Replacement, Exchange or Gift Card): The new order created to resolve the claim. Only available at Claim Finalization, because the replacement order doesn’t exist until then. If the claim has no replacement order, nothing is tagged. If a claim has more than one replacement order, only the first one is tagged.

For shipping claims:

• Original Order: The protected order the shipping claim was filed against.
• Reorder: The reorder created to resolve the shipping claim. If no reorder was created, nothing is tagged.

Tag with Reason

When Tag with Reason is on, the order is also tagged with the reason the customer selected for each item on the claim (for example, “Too Small” or “Damaged”). The reason detail isn’t added. This option is available for return and warranty claims only, not shipping claims.

Rule priority

• At Claim Creation, only one Tag Order rule applies: the highest-priority rule whose conditions match.
• At Claim Finalization, every matching Tag Order rule applies.

If you need several tags on the order when a claim is created, add them all to one rule. See rule priority.

The default return tag rule

Most stores start with a Tag Order rule named Tag Order in Shopify when a Return is Created. It tags the original order with CREW-RETURN at Claim Creation when the claim type is Return. You can edit, disable, or reorder it like any other rule. Only one Tag Order rule applies at Claim Creation. If your rule is placed above the default rule and matches, the CREW-RETURN tag isn’t added. To keep both, add your tags to the default rule.

Example scenarios

Return or warranty claim:

• Trigger: Claim Finalization.
• Condition: Resolution Method is Exchange.
• Order: Replacement Order (Replacement, Exchange or Gift Card).
• Tag: Exchange Order.
• Result: Every exchange order created by Corso is tagged in Shopify, so your fulfillment team can find it.

Shipping claim:

• Trigger: Shipping Claim Finalized.
• Order: Reorder.
• Tag: Shipping-Reorder.
• Result: Every reorder created from a shipping claim is tagged in Shopify.

Shopify order view

• Tags appear on the order in Shopify like any other order tag.
• Tags stay on the order after the claim is closed.

FAQ

Can I apply multiple tags to an order? Yes. Add several tags to one rule. At Claim Finalization, multiple matching rules can also tag the same order.

Why didn’t my new Claim Creation rule tag the order? Only the highest-priority matching Tag Order rule applies at Claim Creation. Check whether another rule, such as the default return tag rule, is above yours.

Do customers see order tags? No. Tags are visible in Shopify and in the apps and reports that read them.

What happens if I turn on Tag with Reason? The claim reason for each item is added as a tag on the order, in addition to the tags you chose. This option is not available for shipping claims.

Can tags be used in Shopify reports or apps? Yes. Tags added by Corso are the same as manually added Shopify tags and can be used in reporting, segmentation, or other apps.

Does the shipping claim Tag Order rule run at claim creation? No. Shipping claim order tagging only runs when the shipping claim is finalized.

What happens if a shipping claim is resolved without a reorder? If you target the Reorder and no reorder was created, no tag is applied.
