You just made a sale! Congratulations! Now, how will you respond to the wonderful customer who just placed an order for your online product or service?

If you’ve never thought about writing a “thank you for your order” email or chat response message, you’re missing out on a major opportunity. This simple phrase, or a variation of it, makes the customer feel appreciated, like they’re doing you a favor buying your product or service. Valued, happy customers are always loyal ones, so it’s almost as if with this small phrase, “thank you for your order,” you’re creating future sales.

But is shooting out a quick email saying, “thank you for your order,” all there is to this magic sales growth trick? The truth is you’ll get an even better response if you craft your email carefully, keeping in mind the type of order the customer placed and making the most of this opportunity to communicate directly with the customer.

In this article, we’ll teach you how to craft the perfect “thank you for your order” email by going over the four main types of orders you’re likely to receive, tips for best practices while writing, followed by a list of quick responses and email templates to get you started.

Types of Orders

Below are four main types of orders, one or more of which you are likely to receive for your business.

Digital Product
A digital product may include software, an e-book, or any other kind of digital asset that you purchase to rent or own. This can be supplemental to the products or services you currently sell, or the main attraction. Sapling (a language model assistant) is an example of a digital product.
Physical Product
A physical product is literally any kind of physical merchandise that you can purchase. In fact, you’re probably surrounded by a lot of physical products right now, from the chair you’re sitting in, to the mobile device in your hand or the computer in front of you – plus whatever the computer sits on!
Digital Service
A digital service includes web development, graphic design, and other types of services rendered by third parties for digital or web applications.
Physical Service
A physical service includes haircuts, massages, and other physical tasks which you hire a third party to perform.

What are Snippets?

If you work on any customer-facing team, then Sapling’s Snippets can help you save time. Think about all the common phrases you send in your emails that you have to type out each time such as “Feel free to reach back out if you have any further questions!” Why not instead type a short macro and have that entire sentence automatically expanded for you?

That’s exactly what snippets does. Snippets allow you to upload your most commonly used phrases or sentences into a response bank. To use the snippet you want, simply press the backslash \ key or type the shortcut and voilà!

Top Tips To Use When Writing A Thank You For Your Order Email

As you sit down to write your “thank you for your order” email, you may be wondering where to begin or what you should say besides, “thank you.”

Here are some tips to follow when crafting your response.

Express Enthusiasm
We recommend adding a little more pizzazz to your “thank you for your order” response than simply saying, “thank you for your order.” For example, you could add, “Yay! You made your first purchase at [name of your brand]!” Or “We’re so excited for you to enjoy your purchase!” Express enthusiasm! It will go a long way to making your brand feel more personable, more human.
Estimate How Long It Will Take To Process The Order

Give your customer an estimate for how long it will take for them to receive their order. For example, for a physical order you could say, “Your order will ship in 5-7 business days.” An appropriate estimate for a digital product might be, “Your order is attached to this email and available for you to download instantly.”

Remember to be honest about your estimate. Don’t promise something you can’t follow up on. A lot of companies are experiencing shipping delays due to complications from the COVID-19 pandemic. If that is the case for your business, it would behoove you to mention that to the customer, so they are prepared to wait longer than normal for their order.

Include The Order Number
Include the order number in your “thank you for your order” email. This way, if the customer has any questions or decides to cancel their order, all they have to do is provide the number and you can easily locate their order and resolve their issue for them.
Tell Them Where They Can Reach Customer Service
Make it clear to the customer that you are always available for any questions or concerns they may have about their order. You can do this by telling them where they can reach customer service by email and/or phone, and what your hours of operation are.
Offer A Coupon Code For First Time Customers
There’s no better way to thank first time customers for their order than by incentivizing them to order from you again in the future. Consider including a coupon code for these customers in your “thank you for your order” email, or else send them a special message later with the discount attached.
