Insert PDF into email notifications
Add a "Download PDF" link to any Shopify notification email so customers can grab their invoice straight from the order confirmation, shipping update or fulfilment message.
Overview
This works differently from automation email. Instead of sending a new email from the app, you generate a snippet of HTML and paste it into Shopify's built-in notification templates. The link points to a PDF the customer can download on demand.
How to use
Step 1: Open email notifications in the app
In the app, go to Emails > Email notification.
Step 2: Select the notification template
Choose which Shopify notification will host the link — order confirmation, shipping confirmation, refund notification, and so on. Each template generates its own snippet, so repeat the process if you want the link in more than one email.
Step 3: Configure the link label
Enter the text customers will click — for example "Click here to download your invoice" or "View invoice PDF". This is the visible portion of the link.
Step 4: Copy and paste into Shopify
The app generates a snippet of HTML/Liquid. Copy it, then:
- Open Shopify Admin > Settings > Notifications.
- Find the same notification email you selected in Step 2.
- Paste the snippet where you want the link to appear in the message body.
- Save the Shopify template.
Tips
- Always test by triggering the real notification — Shopify sometimes caches templates, so a paste-and-save preview is not enough.
- If you change the link label later, regenerate the snippet and repaste — Shopify does not auto-sync.
- Refer to Shopify's notification template guide (opens in a new tab) for the underlying Liquid syntax if you want to style the link with CSS.
