What this report is
The Order Tags & Line Item Properties Report is a Shopify report that surfaces custom order data — order tags, line-item properties, and note attributes such as engraving text, gift messages, or custom options — alongside standard sales detail. Shopify’s native reports ignore these fields; Report Pundit makes them filterable, with scheduling and exports to Google Sheets, Excel, CSV, or PDF.

Why this report matters

If you sell anything customized — engraving, monograms, gift notes, build-to-order options — the most important detail of the order lives in line-item properties. And Shopify’s native reports can’t see them.

The same goes for order tags. Teams tag orders for everything — fraud review, VIP, pre-order, subscription, fulfillment routing — then can’t report on those tags natively. The taxonomy you built to run the business is invisible at analysis time.

This report pulls tags, line-item properties, and note attributes into a structured, filterable table beside the sales data. That’s how a custom-products store fulfills accurately, spots demand trends in personalization, and finally reports on the categories it actually uses.

What’s included

Never just a list of column names. Every column gets a plain definition, plus a formula, a worked example, or a heads-up wherever it earns one.

Order tags

The tags applied to each order, for whatever taxonomy you run.

Example:  fraud-review, vip, pre-order, subscription, ship-monday.

Heads up:  An order can carry several tags; decide whether to split them into separate rows or keep them comma-joined for filtering.

Order note

The free-text note on the order — special instructions a customer or rep left.

Line-item properties

Property name & value

Custom fields attached to an individual item — the personalization or option captured at checkout.

Example:  Engraving = “Happy Birthday”; Size = “Custom 42”; Allergy = “nut-free.”

Heads up:  Properties are stored as an array, so each distinct property usually needs its own column — set up the ones you actually use.

Note attributes

Additional checkout/cart attributes (e.g. delivery date, gift toggle) carried on the order.

Sales context

Product / variant / SKU

The item the properties belong to, so personalization ties to the actual line.

Quantity, price & order total

Standard sales figures so the custom data sits in commercial context.

Formula:  Line total = Unit price × Quantity

Common added columns

How to read the report

  • Set up the properties you use. Because properties are an array, decide which named fields matter and give each its own column — a generic dump is unreadable.
  • Choose how tags expand. Multi-tag orders can be split per tag or kept joined; pick based on whether you’re counting tags or filtering orders.
  • Tie properties to the line, not the order. Personalization belongs to a specific item; read it at the line level so a two-item order doesn’t blur.
  • Trend the values. Counting property values over time turns custom options into a demand signal you can stock against.

How to build the report in Report Pundit

Under 5 minutes from install to insight. No code, no SQL.
  1. Open Report Pundit in your Shopify admin and choose Create Report (or the pre-built “Order Tags & Line Item Properties” template).
  2. Set the data source to Orders with line-item detail enabled.
  3. Add standard columns: Order name, Date, Customer, Product, Variant, SKU, Quantity, Price, Order total.
  4. Add Order tags and Order note columns.
  5. Add a column for each line-item property you use (e.g. Engraving, Gift message, Custom size).
  6. Add Note attributes if you capture cart-level attributes.
  7. Decide whether to split multi-tag orders into rows or keep tags joined, and set your date range.
  8. Run, confirm a known personalized order shows its property values, and Save.
  9. Schedule a daily send to fulfillment/production, or export to Google Sheets as a live production sheet.

Customization & filters

The pre-built version covers 90% of merchant needs. For the remaining 10%, common customizations:
  • Add a dedicated column per line-item property you use.
  • Split multi-tag orders into rows or keep tags comma-joined.
  • Filter by a specific tag, property value, or note attribute.
  • Group by property value to trend popular options.
  • Combine with metafields for an even richer custom view.

Automate & export

Once the report is set up the way you want it, automation does the rest:
  • Schedules — hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or custom cron
  • Delivery formats — Excel, CSV, PDF, or push to Google Sheets in real time
  • Group by month or week — trends instead of a static snapshot
  • Destinations — email (multiple recipients), Google Sheets, Google Drive, FTP/SFTP, Looker Studio, BigQuery
  • Conditional alerts — get notified only if a channel's net sales drop more than X% week-over-week

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can’t Shopify report on line-item properties natively?

Properties are custom fields stored as an array on each line item, and native reports don’t expose them. Report Pundit extracts each property into its own column so you can read and filter it.

Can I report on my order tags?

Yes. Order tags become a column you can filter and group by — so the taxonomy you use to run the business (fraud-review, VIP, pre-order) is finally analyzable.

How are multi-tag orders handled?

Your choice: split each tag onto its own row for counting, or keep tags comma-joined for straightforward filtering. Pick based on the question you’re answering.
