The Most Overlooked Revenue Page in E-Commerce: Your Thank You Page

Most Brands Show a Receipt. You Should Be Showing a Reason to Come Back.

Your thank you page is the first page of the next sale—and it’s one of the most underutilized assets in retention marketing. The customer just said yes. They’re still on your site. And you’ve got their full attention.

If all you offer is a shipping number and a receipt, you’re missing your cleanest shot at a second purchase.

What Is the Thank You Page Optimization Guide?

This is a free downloadable checklist from the Sticky Digital team designed to help Shopify DTC brands turn post-purchase momentum into repeat revenue.

Inside, you'll find:

  • 8 revenue-driving elements you can add today
  • Tips for cross-sells, loyalty activation, referrals, and education
  • Suggestions for tech tools you can use (Shopify, Yotpo, Rebuy, Postscript, etc.)
  • A field-tested checklist used by Sticky Digital clients to drive repeat purchase rate

Why It Matters

The thank you page is a high-trust, low-distraction moment. It’s your best opportunity to:

  • Offer a bounce-back discount
  • Encourage referrals while satisfaction is high
  • Upsell a complementary product
  • Prompt a loyalty enrollment or reward unlock
  • Capture SMS opt-ins or zero-party data

It costs you nothing to optimize. But the upside is huge.

How to Use the Guide

  1. Open your current thank you page in Shopify (Settings > Checkout > Post-purchase).
  2. Compare your page to the elements listed in the guide.
  3. Pick 1–2 improvements to test this week—like a referral prompt or loyalty teaser.
  4. Track performance with UTM tags or button click events in GA4 or Klaviyo.
