Order Editing outperforms Loop Returns everywhere it matters.

A purpose-built order editing platform compared to a free add-on inside a returns tool. 34 features compared, 27 where we differ.

Why merchants move

Four reasons to move off Loop's editing add-on.

Built for editing — not bolted on to a returns tool. Four places it shows up the moment you ship traffic.

Edit coverage

Every edit your customers ask for.

Address, variant, products, shipping, discount codes, contact info — all self-service. Loop punts on half of these back to your support inbox.

Hold architecture

Five hold methods. Not one.

Loop relies on a single Shopify Flow "On Hold" status — and not every 3PL respects it. We support five so we match how your fulfilment stack actually behaves.

Upsell surfaces

Eight surfaces. Or zero.

Loop's add-on has no checkout upsells, post-purchase pages, Klaviyo flows, thank-you offers, or shipping nudges. We have all of them, merchandised by the same engine.

Discount handling

Edit discounted orders. (They can't.)

Per Loop's own docs, orders with a fixed-amount discount are ineligible for editing. We treat discounts as first-class — every edit type respects them.

The platform

Three products. One platform. One purpose.

Order Editing is purpose-built across editing, upsells and address validation. Loop ships one of these as a feature inside a returns tool.

Revenue

Upsells, everywhere your buyer is.

Eight upsell surfaces, all merchandised by the same recommendation engine — no separate app required.

  • Checkout upsells
  • One-click post-purchase offers
  • Thank-you page recommendations
  • Klaviyo email upsell flows
  • Free-shipping threshold nudges
Logistics

Address validation that stops failed deliveries.

Carrier-level checks before the order ever leaves your warehouse — globally.

  • Carrier-level address validation
  • Real-time checkout validation
  • Post-purchase address flagging
  • International (250+ countries)
Integrations

Works with the stack you already have.

Loop's free order editing add-on is one-size-fits-all. Order Editing speaks the protocols your downstream systems already speak.

95%
of downstream Shopify fulfilment stacks supported out of the box.

3PLs, WMSes, ERPs and iPaaS platforms — across 1,600+ live merchants. If yours isn't on the list, our team builds the connector during onboarding.
