MORE CONTROL WHEN YOU NEED IT

Choose when and where your cart notices appear.

Schedule cart message campaigns

Plan a campaign →

Target notices by product and variation

Combine amount and quantity bounds with guest or logged-in audiences, so customers see information that applies to them.

Set your conditions →

Connect notices to applied discount rules

Optionally show a message when a Pricing rule has actually applied or when the cart meets current Min/Max rules.

Connect HookSpark plugins →

HOOKSPARK INTEGRATIONS

Connect cart notices with discounts and order limits.

Each plugin works independently. Installing them together does not create rules or messages automatically.

Pricing + Messages

Confirm a real offer in the cart. A connected message appears only when the selected Pricing rule has actually reduced prices.

Example

Show “Your lamp has received the 10% offer” after the lamp discount applies. The message itself does not create a discount.

Set it up
Create the promotion in Pricing, then select that rule in the message’s HookSpark connections. Configure and enable the message.

Min/Max + Messages

Show a message when the cart meets your current Min/Max quantity and amount rules. Keep the conditions connected to the rules you already manage.

Example

Show a confirmation once the required quantity and minimum spend are met. This does not guarantee that every other checkout requirement is satisfied.

Set it up
Configure Min/Max, then enable its condition in the message’s HookSpark connections. Other message conditions must also match.

Messages connections require compatible versions of both plugins. If a connected provider is inactive or unsupported, its dependent message stays hidden.
