Setting up the order management customer portal

Click Checkout and scroll down to the Order status page section

Insert the below script into the box provided.

<script>
  {% assign items_with_plans = checkout.line_items | where: "selling_plan_allocation" %}

  {% if items_with_plans.size != 0 %}

  Shopify.Checkout.OrderStatus.addContentBox(
      `<h2 class="heading-2">This order has a payment due in the future</h2>
       <p>To manage your deferred payment 
        <a href="/apps/downpay?shop_id={{shop.id}}&order_id={{checkout.order_id}}">click here</a>
        </p>
       `
    )

  {% endif %}
</script>

Click Save at the top right of the settings page.

Shopify Plus

Shopify Plus stores can now enable the customer order portal directly in the Shopify theme editor.

Navigate to your Online Store and click Customize on the theme you wish to add to the portal to.

Navigate to Checkout using the template drop down selector found in the top center of the screen, and then select Order Status.

Select Add app block at the bottom left and choose checkout-ui made by Downpay.



Click save.

Classic customer accounts

You may also include a link to the Downpay portal on your Shopify classic customer account portal. To set this up, please contact us at support@hypehound.io or if you are comfortable with editing your theme code, use the instructions below:

Create a new snippet with the code below in the Snippets folder to the corresponding theme called downpay-customer-order.liquid

{% assign items_with_plans = order.line_items | where: 'selling_plan_allocation' %}
{% if items_with_plans.size != 0 %}
  <p>
    To manage your deferred payment
    <a href="/apps/downpay?shop_id={{ shop.id }}&order_id={{ order.id }}">click here</a>
  </p>
{% endif %}

Locate the Customers/order.liquid or the corresponding section that powers the store's Customer Account Order. This could be main-order.liquid found in Sections. Place the code below where you would like to see the link to the Downpay portal. We recommend placing it above the order details table.

{% render 'downpay-customer-order' %}
