Nagging.
The name is a promise of restraint. Frequency-capped, categorised, and off by default for everything that is not an order update.
Nothing to tell you right now.
Order updates are on. Everything else is off until you ask for it, frequency-capped when you do, and silent during quiet hours.
How this one behaves.
Order updates
On by default. You asked for the thing.
Everything else
Off by default, and separately consented to.
Frequency capped
Regardless of how many things happen.
Quiet hours
Respected, always.
The design note.
A notification system named Nagging cannot then send eleven push notifications a week without looking ridiculous, which is precisely why it is named that.
- Order updates — On by default. You asked for the thing.
- Everything else — Off by default, and separately consented to.
- Frequency capped — Regardless of how many things happen.
- Quiet hours — Respected, always.

Blunt about money. Naming the pain reduces cart anxiety rather than increasing it, which is counter-intuitive and well-evidenced.
Shaking On It
A handshake deal, not a transaction receipt. The most under-used screen in e-commerce and the one people actually read.
Germinating
Progress framed as growth, never as a percentage. A percentage that stalls at 94 is worse than no percentage at…

Fourteen states, each named, each with a rule.
What people actually ask.
The two questions this page gets most, answered without a support ticket.
It does not. Every commerce control here is a placeholder and no card details are collected anywhere.
