# Which payment methods can be used to trigger a post-purchase page offer?


### Overview
Post-purchase offers are an effective strategy to increase average order value (AOV) by presenting customers with additional products or services immediately after they complete a purchase. However, the availability of these offers depends on the payment method used during checkout. Shopify has specific guidelines that determine which payment methods can trigger the post-purchase page.

Shopify guards this page to avoid misleading offers that get charged to the customer’s payment card.‍

|| This means that not all payment methods will trigger the post-purchase page. Keep this in mind when testing it for your store!‍

###### Supported Payment Methods
The following payment methods will trigger the post-purchase page:

* **Credit Cards**: Including Visa, AMEX, Discover, and MasterCard
* **PayPal**: Standard PayPal payments are supported.
* **PayPal Express**: Express checkout via PayPal is also compatible.

*Note: To enable PayPal as a payment method for post-purchase offers, additional configuration may be required. Refer to * [the guide on setting up PayPal for post-purchase offers](https://help.upsellplus.com/en/article/how-can-i-set-up-paypal-as-a-payment-method-for-post-purchase-offers-1o2f9y7/) * for detailed instructions.*

**Unsupported Payment Methods**
The following payment methods will **not** trigger the post-purchase page:

* **Cash on Delivery**: Orders paid upon delivery are not eligible.
* **Express Payment Methods**: Such as AfterPay, Apple Pay, Amazon Pay, and Google Pay.
* **Buy Now, Pay Later Services**: Including Klarna and Affirm.
* **Debit Cards**: Transactions using debit cards are not supported.
* **Bank Transfers**: Direct bank transfer payments will not trigger post-purchase offers.
* **Gift Cards**: Orders paid entirely with gift cards are ineligible.

*Note: If an order is partially paid with a gift card and the remaining balance is covered by a supported payment method, post-purchase offers may still be triggered.*

###### Currency Considerations
Post-purchase offers will only display when the order currency matches the primary market currency configured for your store. For example, if a customer checks out in USD and your primary market is set to EUR, the post-purchase page will not be triggered. This is due to Shopify's limitation on multi-currency support for post-purchase offers - [find out more about it here.](https://shopify.dev/apps/checkout/post-purchase#limitations-and-considerations)

**Key Considerations**
* **Payment Gateway Configuration**: Ensure that your store's payment gateways are set up to accept supported payment methods to maximize the reach of post-purchase offers.
* **Customer Payment Preferences**: Be aware of your customers' preferred payment methods and consider how these preferences may impact the effectiveness of post-purchase offers.
* **Testing**: Regularly test post-purchase offers using different payment methods to ensure they function as intended and provide a seamless customer experience.
