Payment Instructions

The StoreEngine Thank You Payment Instructions shortcode allows you to display payment instructions on the Store Thank You page after a customer completes an order. This shortcode is useful when you want to show additional payment information depending on the selected payment method.

For example, if a customer selects Cash on Delivery, Bank Transfer, or another manual payment method, you can use this shortcode to display instructions explaining how the payment will be completed.

Adding this shortcode will automatically display the payment instructions associated with the customer’s selected payment method.

What This Shortcode Does

The StoreEngine Thank You Payment Instructions shortcode dynamically displays payment instructions based on the payment method used during checkout.

This shortcode:

  • Displays payment instructions after a successful order
  • Shows method-specific instructions (e.g., bank transfer details)
  • Appears only on the Thank You (Order Confirmation) page
  • Automatically retrieves the correct order information

This ensures customers clearly understand what they need to do next to complete their payment.

Where It’s Commonly Used

This shortcode is designed to be used on the Store Thank You (Order Confirmation) page.

Store Thank You Page

You can place the shortcode alongside other StoreEngine Thank You shortcodes such as:

  • Order information
  • Order details
  • Billing and shipping details
  • Continue shopping button

This helps create a complete and informative order confirmation page.
