Understanding and Utilising Category Labels in Ingrid Merchant Platform

This article introduces the Delivery Checkout feature Category Labels and offers a step-by-step guide on how to set up and add Category Labels in the Ingrid Merchant Platform (IMP).

What are Category Labels?

Category Labels empower merchants to provide explanatory information about the delivery options during the checkout process. By assigning labels to different delivery options, merchants can offer valuable insights to the end-users, helping them to make informed decisions.

There are three types of Category Labels available for merchants to utilise: 

  1. Sustainability Labels: These predefined labels allow merchants to showcase eco-friendly delivery options, providing customers with information on sustainable shipping choices. 
  2. Priority Labels: Also predefined, these labels highlight the urgency of certain delivery options, enabling customers to choose faster shipping methods.
  3. Custom Labels: Unlike predefined labels, Custom Labels offer complete flexibility, allowing merchants to create unique labels tailored to specific delivery options without predefined elements or icons.

Each Category Label can include a description, visible to customers when hovering over the label (or tapping on it in case of mobile devices), providing additional context and transparency.
