Overview

When a customer adds a discounted upsell item to their cart, a discount code is displayed on the order summary and confirmation. Customizing this discount message enhances clarity for both you and your customers, ensuring transparency about the applied discounts.

This helps you to understand where a discount originated from and the customer to understand which discount they received.

Post-Purchase Checkout Offers
‍
Post-purchase offers edit the original order with an additional product. Discounts for these type of offers are common and work well to improve AOV. The discount message will display on the customers order confirmation.

To Set Discount Messages in the app:
Navigate to your post-purchase offer.
Scroll down to find the field labeled 'Discount message to appear on order confirmation'.
Enter your customized discount message.
Click Save to apply the changes.



‍The custom discount code will show in your order timeline and for the customer in checkout and their confirmation email.



Key Considerations
Consistency: Ensure that the discount message accurately reflects the promotion to avoid customer confusion.
Testing: After customizing discount messages, perform test transactions to verify that the correct message appears during checkout and on order confirmations.
