Create Customer Notice

You will need to add notices for customers to instruct about available options based on their location, orders and payment options.

  • It will improve cart abandonment issues.
  • Customers will get easier checkout experience.

ShipPlus shows notices by default also, But you can customise them as per your need.

How to configure notice?

There is no need to configure setup to use notices unless you want to showcase restricted options. Notices works well with all 3 types on conditions and both types of application methods also.

You can show if you want to display all shipping options to customer or display only eligible shipping options. If you choose the showcase shipping options that are strictly eligible then you do not need to show any notice.

For example – You store provides A,B,C, and D type of payment gateways and your customer is only for A and B type of payment gateways.

Then you can choose if you only want to show option A and B. Or you want to show all available options and show a notice.

Notice setup for both global and separate condition is same.

  • After you create any condition, You will see a options button.
  • Activate “Options”
  • You can add your notice in custom notice text area.
  • Descriptive notice about the eligible options will be loaded automatically.
