Hello, I am trying to add a section of text to my order confirmation email when a specific item, or when an item with a certain tag is purchased. I understand the only way to do this is by editing the code of the email… Can anyone help me and provide the code needed? Ideally this will be based off of the line item tag if possible, so If order contains line item with tag of “X”, then display a paragraph, else don’t display.

Thank you

Hi @ProSharp ,

Code Example:
You can use the order.line_items loop to check for the tag:

{% for line_item in order.line_items %}
  {% if line_item.product.tags contains 'X' %}
    

Thank you for your order! Since your purchase includes [Product with X Tag], here is some important information for you...

    {% break %}
  {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

This loop goes through each line item in the order.
If any product has the tag “X”, it will display a custom message.
{% break %} stops the loop as soon as a matching product is found, preventing duplicate messages.

Thank you so much, that worked very nicely! I do have one more question- I want to insert a link in the paragraph that I will be showing, is that possible?
