Migration

We support two messaging products:

  • On-Site Messaging is our latest messaging product
  • JavaScript Library V1 is our legacy messaging product

We recommend that you update to the On-Site Messaging product. Follow this guide to learn how.

Migrate from the JavaScript Library V1 to On-Site Messaging

You have two migration choices:

  • Self-migration: Your IT team does the migration

  • Assisted migration: Clearpay helps you do some parts of the migration

Self-migration

You do this migration alone, without any assistance from Clearpay.

Light customizations

If you've made minor customizations to only the Clearpay JavaScript attributes, do the following:

  1. Find the <afterpay-placement> element you currently have. Copy it and paste it somewhere you can refer back to. This gives you a list of configuration changes you've made.

For example, in:

<afterpay-placement data-is-eligible="true" data-locale="en_GB" data-currency="GBP" data-amount="59" data-show-upper-limit="false" data-size="xs" data-logo-type="lockup" data-lockup-theme="black"></afterpay-placement>t>

The configuration changes could include:

  • data-show-upper-limit="false"

  • data-size="xs"

  • data-logo-type="lockup"

  • data-lockup-theme="black"

  1. Delete the old script: <script src="https://js.afterpay.com/afterpay-1.x.js" async></script>

  2. Find and remove all instances of the elements below from the code:

  • afterpay-placement

  • Afterpay.createPlacements

  • new Afterpay.AfterpayPlacement()

  • Afterpay.launchModal

  • afterpay-price-table

  1. Follow the instructions to add On-Site Messaging to your website.

  2. Make attribute changes if needed. Click Save all changes.

Major customizations

If you made larger customizations to the custom Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) and the JavaScript, do the following:

  1. Log in to the Business Hub to install On-Site Messaging.

  2. Follow the steps in the Implementation guide.

  3. Go to the Implementation Guide page and find the <data-mpid> and <data-placement-id> for each placement (both Product and Cart).

  4. Go to your codebase and add your MPID to each placement as a data-mpid attribute.

  5. Add your placement IDs to each placement as data-placement-id attributes.

  6. Return to the messaging tool and make attribute changes if needed. Click Save all changes.

Migrate from the dynamic widget to On-Site Messaging

The widget isn't actively supported by Clearpay; we strongly recommend migrating to On-Site Messaging. If you already have an agreement to use the widget, you can wait until this agreement expires.

To remove the widget:

  1. Find the previous code and note the inline customisations that have been made.

  2. Remove script from head section:

<script src="https://portal.afterpay.com/afterpay.js" async onload="createMessaging()"></script>

  1. Remove the previous code:

<div id="afterpay-messaging-widget"></div>

  1. Follow the On-Site Messaging implementation instructions.
