On the last page of the checkout process, a banner will appear telling your customer to click it to claim their $1,000 Grocery Savings Certificate. When they click it, a new window or tab will open and they will complete a short registration process to claim their $1,000 Grocery Savings Certificate.
Example 2: You have a weekly newsletter that people pay to subscribe to.

You will simply paste our banner code onto the last page of the signup process. When a new subscriber sees the last page (usually the welcome page), they will see the banner, click it, and claim their $3,000 Savings Certificate by filling out a short registration form.
