Add Aris Options to Shopify Draft Orders
Overview#
With Aris Product Options, you can create Shopify draft orders and add custom options directly from the Aris app. This is useful when you want to manually create a draft order for a customer while still keeping the selected product options and add-on prices.
How to access Draft Orders in Aris#
From your Shopify admin, go to:
Apps > Aris Product Options > Draft orders
On this page, you can view all draft orders created through Aris, including their draft number, date, status, number of items, total price, and quick action button.

You can also filter draft orders by status:
- All
- Open
- Invoice sent
- Completed
Create a new draft order with Aris options#
Step 1: Click Create draft order
On the Draft orders page, click Create draft order.

Step 2: Add a product
Click Add product.

Search for the product you want to add, then select the product or variant.
After selecting the product, click Add.

Step 3: Add Aris options
After the product is added to the draft order, click + Add Aris options under the product name.

Step 4: Select option values
A popup will appear showing the available Aris options for that product.
Choose the option values you want to apply to the product.
If the selected options include add-on charges, the item price will be updated automatically based on the option setup.
After selecting the options, click Save options.

Step 5: Review the draft order
Once the options are saved, you can review the product, selected options, item price, subtotal, and total.
The draft order will be synced with Shopify.

Step 6: Finish the draft order in Shopify admin
To continue editing or completing the draft order in Shopify, click Open in Shopify admin.
In Shopify admin, you can finish the remaining draft order details, such as:
- Customer
- Discounts
- Shipping
- Taxes
- Markets & currency
- Tags
- Notes
- Invoice or payment
Any changes made in Shopify admin will sync back to Aris automatically.

Manage existing draft orders#
From the Aris Draft orders page, you can view existing draft orders and open them again when needed.
Click the action icon next to a draft order to open it.

You can also open the draft order detail page, then click Open in Shopify admin to continue editing it in Shopify.
Export draft orders#
To export draft orders, click Export on the Draft orders page.
You can choose one of the following export options:
- Current page
- All draft orders
- Selected draft orders
- Draft orders by date
After choosing the export option, click Export to download the file.

Notes#
- Aris options can only be added to products that already have option sets assigned in the app.
- If an option has an add-on charge, the price will be calculated and added to the draft order item price.
- Some option types that are used to redirect or transfer customers between pages, such as Group Product and Option URL, do not work with Shopify draft orders.
- Allowed Option URL can still work with draft orders, as this option type allows the product to be added to cart.
- The draft order is synced with Shopify, but final order actions such as invoice, payment, shipping, taxes, and customer details should be completed in Shopify admin.
