Pay What You Want
The new Pay What You Want Offers feature is here! Pay What You Want Offers means that you can set a minimum purchase price for an Offer, including $0, and then your customers can purchase the offer for either the minimum price or for whichever amount they want!
The Pay What You Want option has multiple benefits for you, your business, and your customers! These benefits include:
- Experimentation. Pricing your product can be a big hurdle and hard to gauge accurately. With Pay What You Want offers, you enable your customers the option to pay more, which may prove that what you offer holds more value than you originally expected. This also allows you to run pay-your-own-price style promotions to entice new members.
- Support. Letting your customers choose how much they want to pay for your product allows them to tip you or pay more than the baseline price you set. This will enable them to show their support for you and your product!

FAQs
Which offers can I use the Pay What You Want feature with?
Any one-time offer will work with the Pay What You Want feature.
Can I make a free offer Pay What You Want?
While you still will need to select the One-Time Payment pricing option, you can charge your customers $0 or more, by setting the minimum price of your Pay What You Want offer as $0.
If my Pay What You Want offer is $0 or more, can my customers pay 25 cents?
Your customers are free to pay $0 or anything $0.50 and above. A checkout won’t submit any amount that your customer puts into the name your price field that is between 0.01 and 0.49. This is in place to keep you from paying more in payment processing fees than you make on your sale.
Can my customers use coupons on a Pay What You Want offer?
Coupons will still work on Pay What You Want offers. If a customer applies a coupon to the Pay What You Want offer, the discount will be applied based on the minimum price. Note that after the coupon is applied, the customer won’t have the option to pay more and will be charged the discounted price.
Do order bumps work with Pay What You Want offers?
Order bumps work on all Pay What You Want offers whose minimum price is not $0. If the offer’s minimum price is set to $0, the order bump won’t display. Otherwise, the order bump will show.
What if my Pay What You Want offer is configured as an upsell, downsell, or order bump?
In the case where your PWYW offer is an upsell, downsell, or order bump, your customers will simply be charged the minimum price set on the offer. For example, Barking 101 is Pay What You Want, has a minimum price of $15, and is an upsell for another offer; the customer will be charged $15 for Barking 101.
If someone purchases a Pay What You Want offer, will they still see my upsells?
Upsells are dependent on a payment at the time of checkout. If the minimum price of the Pay What You Want offer is set above $0, or the customer chooses to pay any amount on a Pay What You Want offer, they will see the upsells. If a customer chooses not to pay anything for a $0 Pay What You Want offer, they will not see your upsells.
Can I use Pay What You Want on legacy checkout?
Pay What You Want will only be available to the current checkout template. If you switch a legacy checkout offer to Pay What You Want, it will simply charge the minimum price without the option to pay more. Learn how to update to the 2018 version of the checkout template here.
