How do I use the Cart Notices Add-On?

Shift4Shop's Cart Notices Add-on (available from the App Store) will let you display special messages during checkout that will appear when certain conditions are met by the shopper. There are four types of conditional messages that you can create:

• Minimum Amount
  The message will display if the shopper's order has not yet reached your specified minimum amount. For example, you may have a required minimum for checkout or perhaps you offer free shipping after a certain amount. The message can be created to advise the customer that they are below the minimum.
• Deadline
  This type of message can be set up to display until a specified date. The can be used to display details of an ongoing promotion that might be useful to the shopper
• Products in Cart
  This message can be set up to display if the shopper has specific item(s) in their cart. It can be a useful way to add notices about related or upsell items, or perhaps inform the shopper of promotion specifcs related to the items already added
• Categories in Cart
  Same as the Products in Cart message mentioned above, but this one allows you to select entire categories as needed for the message display.

In addition, each message can also be set up with an optional Call to Action and a URL for the shopper to click on.
