Add a Custom Banner to Checkout
Plans: All Plans Platforms: Shopify
AfterShip Personalization allows merchants to add Custom Banner to the checkout page to display important information to customers during checkout. Custom Banner can be set up and customized in the Checkout page section in the AfterShip Personalization admin.
In this tutorial, we will show you:
Custom banner setup
Custom banner widget installation
Go to Apps > AfterShip Personalization in your Shopify admin
Navigate to Smart checkout > Checkout page > Smart content > Custom banner
Click Edit
A custom banner editor will open with the following settings
Convert the status to Enabled for the custom banner to display
If you wish to display the custom banner to all the customers, select Show to all customer
If you want to display the custom banner to a specific set of customers, select Show to specific customers
Conditions represent the eligibility criteria of the customers to whom the custom banner will be shown.
The following conditions are currently available.
*The date and time setting controls when the banner will display to customers based on the merchant's Shopify timezone. For example, suppose merchants have a promotion campaign from June 1st to June 3rd. In that case, they can set the promotion banner to notify customers and ensure it is only displayed between June 1st and June 3rd based on the date and time setting. Additionally, if merchants do not offer customer support from 00:00 to 13:00 daily, they can use the banner to inform customers of this and set the date and time to recur every day from 00:00 to 13:00.
Merchants can set up conditions like
a. Custom banner will be displayed to the customers on the checkout IF CONDITION A and CONDITION B are met (Both conditions should be met)
b. Custom banner will be displayed to the customers on the checkout IF CONDITION A and CONDITION B or IF CONDITION C and CONDITION D are met (Either set of the conditions (A+B or C+D should be met)
c. Custom banner will be displayed to the customers on the checkout IF CONDITION A or CONDITION B are met (Either A or B should be met)
d. Custom banner will be displayed to the customers on the checkout IF CONDITION A or CONDITION B or CONDITION C or CONDITION D are met (Either of the conditions A, B, C or D should be met)
e. Custom banner will be displayed to the customers on the checkout IF CONDITION A or CONDITION B and CONDITION C are met (Either A or B+C should be met)
f. Custom banner will be displayed to the customers on the checkout IF CONDITION A and CONDITION B or CONDITION C are met (Either A+B or C should be met)
If the conditions configured by you are met, the corresponding action would be the custom banner displayed on the checkout page.
