Product or cart amount

Include the product or cart amount to show a more relevant message to your consumers. If the amount is within the qualifying range, the message remove's any purchase eligibility language that's included in the message when there is no amount or a non-qualifying amount. Consumers can also see their payment breakdown in the Learn More modal when they select a message.

Note: If PayPal Ratenzahlung has an APR configured to 0%, the messages will show the monthly payment to customers when a qualifying amount is included.

Page type

Use the data-pp-placement attribute to identify the type of page a message appears and if the customer interacted with the message. This attribute accepts home, category, product, product-list, cart, and payment as values.

Example

<div
  data-pp-message
  data-pp-placement="product"
>< /div>

Layout and style

You can configure messages for different layouts and styles using optional HTML attributes.

The message layout determines the available style options.

The HTML attribute data-pp-style-layout determines the message layout. If you omit this attribute, then the layout uses the default value text. Setting this value to flex renders your message as a flexible display banner.

Lightweight text-based messages

This message layout is ideal for placement underneath product and cart prices throughout your site. Passing in the product price or total cart amount results in a more effective message displaying to your customers, informing them of the affordability of your goods and services using Pay Later offers for financing.
