How to add Shopify's shipping method Liquid variable to an UpOrder notification email template.

Yes. You can show the shipping method name in an UpOrder email template by adding Shopify's shipping method Liquid variable to your template.

Use this variable:

{{ shipping_method.title }}

For example, you could add a Text component that says:

Shipping method: {{ shipping_method.title }}

How to add it in UpOrder

  1. Open UpOrder in Shopify.

  2. Go to Notification Templates.

  3. Open the template set you want to edit.

  4. Use the template dropdown at the top of the builder to choose the notification email you want to update.

  5. Add or select a Text component where you want the shipping method to appear.

  6. Add {{ shipping_method.title }} where you want Shopify to insert the shipping rate name.

  7. Save your changes, then publish or copy the updated template into Shopify.

Why the builder might show a placeholder

The UpOrder builder uses sample data while you are editing. You may see a placeholder such as Generic Shipping, or the value may appear blank in some previews. When Shopify sends the real notification, Shopify replaces {{ shipping_method.title }} with the shipping rate name from the order, such as Standard Shipping, Express, or the custom rate name configured in your Shopify store.

Shopify's current notification variable reference confirms that shipping_method.title is the shipping rate name for order notification templates. In Shopify customer email notifications, use {{ shipping_method.title }}, not {{ order.shipping_method.title }}.

If you only want the text to show when a shipping method exists

Some orders might not have a shipping method, such as digital-only orders, pickup orders, or orders where shipping data is not available for that notification. If you do not want a blank label to appear, place the text inside a Conditional component.

For the Conditional component's If Statement content, use:

shipping_method

Then add your Text component inside that conditional section:

Shipping method: {{ shipping_method.title }}

Testing

For the most realistic test, place a test order that uses the shipping method you want to confirm, then review the Shopify notification email that is sent from that order. Shopify preview and test emails are useful for layout, but real order data is the best way to confirm dynamic Liquid values.
