# Additional Details on Orders

## What are note attributes?

Littledata uses Shopify's [note attributes](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/objects/order#order-note) to store order attribution data alongside your Shopify orders. This data appears in the **Additional Details** section of your orders and is used to help attribute sales to the correct marketing channels.

## Conflicts with shipping and fulfillment apps

Some third-party shipping or fulfillment apps may pull note attributes into packing slips or shipping labels. This is a limitation of those apps — shipping software should not print all note attribute data on customer-facing documents — but it can result in Littledata's attribution data appearing on printed labels.

Known providers where this has been reported include **ShipStation**. If you use ShipStation, see our guide on [how to remove additional details from ShipStation shipping labels](/advanced/troubleshooting/remove-additional-details-from-shipstation-shipping-labels.md). If you notice unexpected data appearing on your packing slips or shipping labels from other providers, this is likely the cause.

## Turning off note attributes

You can control whether Littledata stores attribution data as note attributes. This setting is available in the **Data pipeline** section of the Littledata app.

![use-note-attributes-setting](https://3956158252-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F1QhTbrMraNWciQeDvu1b%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-ad68789f988dc35d2c79cb3e5df218cde92405db%2Fimage-41-.png?alt=media)

> This setting can only be found in the Data Pipeline Settings of the Littledata - Customer Tracking app.

If you are experiencing conflicts with a shipping or fulfillment provider, we recommend turning this setting off. Littledata has backup attribution mechanisms in place, so the impact on your order attribution is minimal.\

Turning off note attributes can cause the order accuracy to drop slightly. The chance is small and depends on a number of factors such as adblockers and consent, but it's relevant if you are looking for 100% accuracy.

## What happens after uninstalling the app?

If you uninstall Littledata or turn off note attributes, some orders may still include note attributes for a few days. This happens when orders are placed from carts created *before* the change was made. These cases should resolve within a few days.
