CASE STUDY: FRESH CUT PAPER
How Fresh Cut Paper Turned Post-Purchase Order Edits into $4,250+ in Incremental Revenue
By letting customers edit orders themselves, Fresh Cut Paper reduced support load, improved delivery accuracy—and unlocked new revenue after checkout.
Executive Summary
Fresh Cut Paper, a fast-growing DTC gifting brand, was facing a familiar ecommerce challenge: customers frequently reached out after checkout to fix shipping addresses or update order details—especially during peak gifting seasons.
Each request required manual support effort, delayed fulfilment, and increased the risk of delivery errors for time-sensitive gifts.
By implementing Account Editor, Fresh Cut Paper enabled customers to make these changes themselves—instantly and accurately—while automating confirmation emails and capturing high-intent post-purchase moments.
The results:
771+ support tickets eliminated
65–90 support hours saved
4,759 automated notifications sent
$4,250.74 in incremental post-purchase revenue generated
What was previously a cost-heavy operational workflow became a scalable, revenue-positive system.
CUSTOMER SPOTLIGHT
About the Merchant
Fresh Cut Paper is a direct-to-consumer brand known for premium laser-cut pop-up greeting cards and paper gifts. The brand operates a Shopify Plus store serving customers across multiple gifting occasions—birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, and seasonal moments.
For gifting brands like Fresh Cut Paper, accuracy and timing matter. A wrong address or delayed shipment doesn’t just impact logistics—it affects customer trust.
The Challenge
As Fresh Cut Paper scaled, post-purchase order changes became increasingly difficult to manage manually. Key challenges included:
High support volume
A steady stream of requests for address changes and order corrections consumed significant support bandwidth.
Manual order edits
Every change required backend intervention, increasing the risk of errors during fulfilment.
Repetitive customer follow-ups
Customers often asked for confirmation after edits, triggering multiple back-and-forth emails.
Missed revenue opportunities
High-intent post-purchase interactions lacked a clear path to incremental revenue.
"During peak gifting periods, these issues compounded—stretching support teams and increasing operational stress."

The entire setup required no custom development and worked seamlessly with Fresh Cut Paper’s existing fulfilment workflow.
