Explain the offer accurately without changing its underlying payment calculation.

Before you start

Open Features → COD verification → Payment options → What the customer sees in your store. Use the current saved configuration and a controlled test cart. For storefront features, confirm the Rivio theme app embed is enabled on the theme being tested.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. Open What the customer sees in a payment option.
  2. Enter Price wording only if an alternative display phrase is useful; leave it blank for the calculated figure.
  3. Add a short Sub-heading if needed.
  4. Write the Description template using the placeholders listed beside the field.
  5. Use supported placeholders such as {{pay_now}}, {{pay_later}}, {{total}} and {{discount}}.
  6. Save and preview more than one cart total.

Screenshot to add: Features → COD verification → Payment options → What the customer sees — show the relevant settings described above. Hide customer details, contact blocklists and verification codes.

Example and use case

Pay {{pay_now}} now and {{pay_later}} on delivery explains the split using calculated values instead of a hard-coded deposit.

Limitations and important behaviour

  • Price wording changes what is shown, never what the shopper is charged.
  • Use only placeholders shown by the current form; do not assume {{cod_fee}} is supported because an earlier document listed it.
  • Avoid a static from-price that misrepresents the actual checkout amount.

Test and confirm the result

Confirm placeholders resolve, amounts match checkout and the wording stays readable on mobile.

Save configuration changes before testing. A settings preview confirms presentation; inspect the storefront, checkout or Shopify order for the actual outcome described in this guide.
