# How to set the success message shown when all cart goals are reached

> The message line shows the next tier’s text, then a success message listing what the shopper unlocked once every tier is reached. You set it per design.

## How the message line works

The bar has one message line, above or below it. While a tier is still ahead, it shows that tier's own text, for example “Only $12 left for free shipping” (you write that text in the tier card, see [add a tier](https://www.yaco.studio/docs/add-a-tier)). Once every tier on the bar is reached, the line switches to the success message.

The success message belongs to a design. Open **Design**, pick the design, then the **Success message** tab. Each design can have its own message.

## Write the message

In the **Default success message** card, type your text in **Default message**, for example “🎉 Congratulations! You've unlocked {goals}.”

- **{goals}** is replaced by the names of the tiers the shopper unlocked, for example “free shipping, a free tote bag and 10% off”.
- **Default link word** is the word placed before the last name (“and” by default). Change it if your message is not in English.
- When several discount tiers are reached, only the latest one of each kind (percentage or amount) is listed, since it replaces the lower ones.
- The editor accepts bold, italics, colours and line breaks.

Two preview buttons help you check the result: **Show first goal message** shows the bar as it looks with an empty cart, and **Show Congratulations message** shows it with every tier reached.

## Show or hide the message

There are two separate switches:

- **Show success message**, at the top of the tab, shows or hides the whole message line: the tier texts and the final message.
- **Show success message** inside the **Default success message** card hides only the final message. The tier texts keep showing while tiers are ahead.

## Position and style

- **Position**: **Before the bar** or **After the bar**.
- **Text align**: **Start**, **Center** or **End**.
- **Font size**, **Line height**, **Header text color**, **Top margin** and **Bottom margin**.
- **Always show decimals**: when ticked, the amount left in the tier texts keeps its decimals even when it is round (“$5.00 left” rather than “$5 left”).

## Hide the bar once every tier is reached

Under **All goals reached**, tick **Hide the progress bar when all goals are reached** to show only the success message at that point. The bar comes back if the cart drops below a tier. If the success message is empty, the bar stays visible so the shopper never sees an empty block.

## Translate the message

The **Success message translation** card links to Shopify's **Translate & Adapt** app, where the message is translated for each store language. See [translations](https://www.yaco.studio/docs/translations) for the other texts of the bar.

## At checkout

The checkout block has its own switch, **Show final success message**, with its own alignment, on the **Checkout** page. See [checkout](https://www.yaco.studio/docs/checkout).
