# 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](/files/HyAbeIk05tqUc4tYWfrt)

> 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.

## 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.
