Special blocks

Special Blocks provide advanced functionalities beyond the common static and dynamic blocks. They are built differently to handle specific tasks—such as interacting with orders—through two distinct block types.

Special Blocks include Order Item Actions and Order Items List, each with unique configuration flows.

Order item Actions block

The Order Item Actions Block lets you add multiple interactive actions to individual order items. These actions can be set as default or targeted (with customer filters) and are reorderable via drag and drop.

The steps to configure an order item action are the following:

1

Go to the Special blocks page

Open the sidebar and click the Special Blocks card.

This area shows all special block types.

2

Select Order Item Actions

Click the View button that is in the Order Item Actions special card.

3

View the Order item Actions page

The page displays two columns: one for default actions and one for targeted actions.

Drag and drop to reorder actions as needed.

4

Add a new Order item Action:

Click the Add New card button.

Ensure you are adding a new action, not editing an existing one.

5

Fill in block settings

You'll see the following fields in the Order Item Action screen

Block name: Enter a descriptive name (e.g., “Reorder for VIPs”).

Customize content: Provide at least the Label and Link for the action.

Customer Target or General Filterer: Select an existing target or filter. Or create a new one for targeted actions.

For help with creating customer targets or filters, see the Customer Targeting Documentation.

6

Save

Click the Save button that is in the top bar to create the action.

And make sure it was created successfully

Drag and drop actions if you need to change their order.

Your new action is now added and arranged.

7

Publish Your Block

Click the Publish button in the top-right corner and follow these steps to make the Order Item Actions Block live.

Review the live view to ensure the actions appear as expected.

Order items List block

The Order Items List block displays a customer’s orders directly on their account page. It is highly customizable through Shopify’s Account Editor and additional configurations unlocked by generating a Block ID.

1

Go to the Special Blocks page

Open the sidebar, click on Blocks and then click the Special Blocks card.

2

Select Order Items List

Click the View button that is in the Order Items List special card.

3

Generate the Block ID

On the Order Items List page, click the Generate Block ID button (located in the “Get your Block ID” card).

You must generate a Block ID to unlock further configurations.

4

Configure additional settings

Once the Block ID is generated, additional options become available (e.g., enabling/disabling the block, placement settings in Shopify’s Account Editor).

Use Shopify’s Account Editor to adjust the block’s placement and add an optional heading.

5

Publish your block

Click the Publish button in the top-right corner.

Follow these steps to activate the Order Items List Block.

Success: The block is now live on the customer account pages.
