Answered plainly
The honest limits are part of the design — nothing here moves money without your say.
Does it work with cash-on-delivery stores?
Yes — one setting decides whether unpaid orders also get a window, ideal for COD-heavy stores where a wrong address costs the most.
Do guests need an account?
No. Guest checkouts get the same editing access through a secure link tied to that one order only.
Can customers change items or quantities?
Not yet — item edits move money (tax, stock, payment differences), and we refuse to do that unsafely. It is planned for a paid tier, done properly. Join the waitlist.
Does it phone home?
No. The plugin makes zero external requests — all processing happens on your site.
Item edits, handled safely.
The free plugin fixes addresses and notes. OrderMender Pro will let customers swap items and change quantities too, with the price difference collected automatically, store-credit refunds and merchant approval. Join the waitlist to get one email when it launches.
Stop paying the wrong-address tax.
