What This Does

Shopify’s checkout extensibility lets you add custom blocks (banners, messages, upsells) to the checkout page. With CreatorCommerce, you can make these blocks conditional — they only appear when a shopper came through a creator’s affiliate link.

​
Use Cases

  • Show a “Thanks for shopping with [Creator]!” message at checkout
  • Display the creator’s discount confirmation
  • Add a co-branded banner with the creator’s photo
  • Surface a loyalty or referral prompt specific to affiliate purchases

​
Setup

1

Go to Shopify Checkout Editor

In Shopify Admin → Settings → Checkout → Customize checkout.
2

Add a new block

In the checkout editor, add a new block where you want the affiliate content to appear (e.g., Order Summary section, Thank You page).Choose a block type like Banner, Text, or Image with text.
3

Add your co-branded content

Populate the block with your affiliate-specific messaging. For example:
  • Heading: “You’re getting an exclusive deal!”
  • Body: “Your creator discount has been applied at checkout.”
  • Image: A co-branded banner or icon
4

Set display rules

This is the key step. Add a display condition to the block:
  • Condition type: Cart attribute
  • Attribute: cc-creator-id
  • Rule: is not empty
This ensures the block only renders when the shopper has a CreatorCommerce creator attribution in their cart — meaning they came through an affiliate link.

Best Practices

  • Keep checkout blocks simple — don’t add friction to the checkout flow
  • Reinforce the discount or value proposition, don’t introduce new decisions
  • Test with both affiliate and non-affiliate checkouts to verify conditional rendering
  • Use the Thank You page for richer co-branded content (less impact on conversion)
