Challenges faced
As a fast-growing DTC brand, PolarPro faced several operational and customer-experience challenges that directly affected post-purchase satisfaction and support efficiency:
High support ticket volume for post-purchase changes
Customers frequently needed to update shipping addresses, variants, or add forgotten accessories after checkout, leading to hundreds of manual support requests each month.
Lost revenue from missed add-on opportunities
Many customers realized they needed extra filters or adapters only after ordering, but had no seamless way to add items without cancelling or contacting support.
Manual workflow strain on operations
Each edit or address change required manual intervention by the CS or fulfillment team, slowing down shipping and introducing errors.
Limited visibility into post-purchase performance
The team lacked clear analytics on edit actions, upsell conversions, and saved tickets, making it difficult to quantify the CX and revenue impact of post-purchase interactions.
Order cancellation risk during peak campaigns
During product drops, customers cancelled and re-ordered just to modify items, inflating cancellation rates and increasing fulfillment complexity.
Why Account Editor?
PolarPro needed a way to give customers post-purchase flexibility without disrupting fulfillment or adding support overhead. After evaluating several Shopify apps, the team chose Account Editor for its balance of automation, flexibility, and customer empowerment.

AE’s real-time address validation and automatic shipping recalculation ensured that global orders reached the correct destination, reducing failed deliveries and re-shipments. The brand also leveraged AE’s Post-Purchase Upsell Engine to surface complementary accessories like Helix | Base Plates, Step-Up Rings, Shortstache Filte, Fujifilm X100VI Filter Adapter, turning missed add-ons into meaningful incremental revenue. Meanwhile, Smart Automation features such as Timeframe control and Hold & Revert safeguards kept fulfillment error-free — edits were only allowed before shipping, and unpaid ones were rolled back automatically.
