Okay, today we're going to spice up your order confirmation page. So I did something like this for my first business, and it's a really cute way to tell people when their order is going to be shipped. I'm going to show you how to do it. Let's go.
Okay, first you're going to go to a website called iphonefaketext. com. This is where you put in all the info. So the contact name will be your business name or your name, and then you can update the texts and you can write anything that you like, choose a date and time, and I want you to make sure that you put your personality into it.
I also make sure I tell them about the shipping time as well. Once I'm happy with this, I download it as an animation. It will then take you to another screen where you hit download as well. Then head to Canva and choose iPhone, pick one with a rectangle, and then you can resize and reframe it.
Then drag in that GIF and resize that to fit inside. You can even change the iPhone color to make it on brand. Once that's done, download it as a GIF file. And that's it.
