How Can I hide the 'Additional Details' Section in the Order Details Page

Shopify Apps

Topic summary

Main issue: A Shopify app developer wants to hide the “Additional Details” section on the Shopify Order details page where a dependent tracking app surfaces tracking identifiers.

  • Goal: Prevent store owners/operators from viewing or accidentally modifying these tracking identifiers in the admin UI.
  • Constraint: The underlying data must remain intact; only the display/visibility should be suppressed.
  • Context: Data is injected by a third‑party dependency used for customer tracking; the request is about the Shopify admin order page, not storefront.

Status: No solution or method provided yet; the thread is a request for guidance and remains open with unanswered implementation details.

I am working on a Shopify app and use another app as a dependency for customer tracking. This app adds an ‘Additional Details’ section to the store’s Order details page and displays tracking identifiers there.

I want to hide this section from the store owner/operator to avoid any accidental changes to this data. How can I do this without removing the data itself?

Thanks in advance.
