There are 23 free customer service email templates for a small Shopify store, in five groups: where is my order, cancellations, damaged or wrong items, discount code requests and returns outside the window. Each is a reply you can copy and edit. Rule of thumb: pick the group that matches the email, check the facts first, then change the words until it sounds like you.
