Updating the Popup

If you offer a discount, you may want to edit the text of the popup to reflect this. By default, there are two places on the popup that mention the discount when one is offered:

  • The Upload Media stage

  • The Success stage (after the review has been submitted).

If you remove your discount offer, these mentions of a discount will also be removed.

Upload Media text

By default, the subtext on this section will provide the value of the discount the customer receives if they leave a photo or video review. To edit this text:

  1. Click Onsite in the sidebar menu

  2. Under Write a Review Popup, click Upload Media

  3. In the Upload Buttons section, edit the Sub Text. Use the variable {{discount_amount}} to replace it with the discount data provided in your discount settings

    Intercom - REV - Upload Media
  4. Click Save.

Success Page text

This is the final thank you section of the popup that the customer sees when they successfully submit a review.

To edit this text:

  1. Click Onsite in the sidebar menu

  2. Under Write a Review Popup, click Success Page

  3. Edit the texts you consider necessary. In the Use discount section, make sure you include the variable {{discount_amount}} to replace it with the discount data provided in your discount settings

  4. Click Save. The discount code will be displayed after the texts, and the result in your store would be something like this:
