Dawn Theme - Can I add text to the Order Confirmation Page?

Topic summary

Main issue: Add custom text on the Order Confirmation page to instruct customers to check spam folders and whitelist the store’s domain, prompted by a ~30% open rate for order confirmation emails and suspected spam filtering.

Limitation: The Order Confirmation page cannot be edited directly through the Dawn theme editor or standard configuration settings.

Proposed approach: Use Shopify’s checkout extension to implement custom development code that can inject the desired text into checkout-related surfaces. (Checkout extensions are developer tools for customizing parts of the checkout/thank-you experience beyond theme settings.)

Artifacts: An image was shared to confirm the specific page being targeted.

Status: No step-by-step solution or code provided yet. The original poster noted they couldn’t find a built-in option; the thread currently points toward custom development via checkout extensions and remains open without a confirmed implementation.

I need to add some important text to the Order Confirmation page.

We are only getting a 30% open rate for our order confirmation emails and I suspect this is because a lot of our emails are going into customers Spam folders.

I want to display text that tells them to check their spam folder for our emails and ask them to whitelist our domain.

I’ve searched everywhere I cannot find any way to do this and it seems like custom text would be an easy and obvious thing to do.

Thanks!

Hi,there
you mean add some text on this page (below)

Unfortunately, this specific page cannot be modified directly within theme editors or certain configuration settings. However, you can leverage the flexibility of Shopify’s checkout extension to implement custom development coding and achieve the desired changes.
