Is there any way to surface an Order Admin Action directly in Shopify Mobile instead of under the three-dot menu?

Hi Shopify team,

We are building a Warehouse Management System (WMS) using Admin UI Extensions.

We currently have:

  • admin.order-details.block.render
  • admin.order-details.action.render

The Admin Block works perfectly on desktop, but doesn’t appear in Shopify Mobile.

The Order Action works on mobile, but only from the “…” menu.

Our warehouse staff use the Shopify Mobile app all day long.

We would like to know if there is any supported way to:

  • Display an Admin Block directly on the mobile order page.
  • Surface an Order Action as a visible button (for example “Start Picking”) instead of hiding it inside the three-dot menu.
  • Deep-link directly into an Order Action from another app.

We are building a warehouse application intended for frequent daily use, where reducing unnecessary taps is very important.

Is there any recommended UX pattern for this use case?

Thanks!

Hey @Johannes_Lovqvist - thanks for reaching out here. I checked this on our end, and just confirming that the current behaviour is expected: inline Admin Block extensions such as admin.order-details.block.render aren’t currently supported in Shopify Mobile.

The order action is supported, but it’s surfaced through the three-dot menu; apps can’t currently promote it to a standalone button or deep-link directly into it.

I definitely get that the additional taps aren’t ideal for a frequently used warehouse workflow. though so I’m happy to pass this along as a feature request. Would a visible “Start Picking” button solve the primary need, or is the external deep link equally important?

Hope to hear from you soon!

Hi, and thanks for your reply!

What we’re looking for is to have our app displayed as an inline Admin Block in the Shopify Mobile app, just like it is on desktop. This would allow us to see our picking list directly within an order, without having to navigate through additional menus.

I’ve attached a screenshot to show what we mean.

This would significantly improve our warehouse workflow, as our staff primarily use Shopify Mobile while picking orders.

Hey @Johannes_Lovqvist - thanks for clarifying and for sharing the screenshot.

That inline Order Details Admin Block experience isn’t currently supported in Shopify Mobile. I’ve passed this along as a feature request with the warehouse workflow and screenshot you shared. I can’t provide a timeline or a guarantee, but just wanted to let you know that I’ve passed this on on my end here.

Let me know if I can help with anything else!

Thanks! If you hear something from it, you are welcome to contact me :slight_smile:
