    3131= Why Redirect After Checkout? =
     
    3333The default WooCommerce thank you page is plain and does nothing for your business. A custom redirect lets you:
    3434
    35 * Show a **branded thank you page** that matches your store design
    36 * Promote an **upsell or cross-sell offer** while the customer is in buying mode
    37 * Collect **customer feedback** with a post-purchase survey
    38 * Direct customers to a **tutorial or onboarding page**
    39 * Track conversions with **Google Analytics or Facebook Pixel**
    40 * Show **payment instructions** for bank transfer orders
    41 
    42 = 🔒 Upgrade to Pro — Powerful Rules Engine =
    43 
    44 The free version redirects all customers to the same URL. **Pro unlocks a full rules engine** so you can redirect different customers to different pages based on what they ordered, who they are, and how they paid.
    45 
    46 **Rules work like this:**
     35* Show a branded thank you page that matches your store design
     36* Promote an upsell or cross-sell offer while the customer is in buying mode
     37* Collect customer feedback with a post-purchase survey
     38* Direct customers to a tutorial or onboarding page
     39* Track conversions with Google Analytics or Facebook Pixel
     40* Show payment instructions for bank transfer orders

     44The free version redirects all customers to the same URL. Pro unlocks a full rules engine so you can redirect different customers to different pages based on what they ordered, who they are, and how they paid.
     45
     46Rules work like this:
    4747
    48481. You create multiple redirect rules
     
    52525. If no rule matches, your free fallback URL is used
    5353
    54 **Every rule shows a plain-English live preview:**
     54Every rule shows a plain-English live preview:
    5555"When a customer completes checkout and their billing country is Germany, they will be immediately redirected to /de/danke. Customers from other countries will skip this rule."
    5656
    57 **Test before going live with the Customer Journey Simulator:**
     57Test before going live with the Customer Journey Simulator:
    5858Enter a hypothetical customer profile and see exactly which rule would fire and why — before a single real customer is affected.
