Optimizing Your Checkout Page: How to Define Clear Titles and Descriptions

How the Checkout Uses Title & Description

Create Order API reference https://developer.coingate.com/reference/create-order 

The title and description from your API request are displayed in two key places. These fields help the customer confirm what they are paying for before submitting the payment.

Title — shown at the top of the checkout

This is the first order detail the shopper sees. In the checkout header, the title appears on the same line as your company name, as shown in the screenshot:

Because of its visibility, the title should clearly represent the main identifier of the order — such as the order number or the primary product/service name. This helps shoppers quickly confirm that they are paying for the correct order.

Description — shown in the Order Info popup

When the shopper clicks Order info, the description appears inside the breakdown panel.

This is where shoppers see additional details related to their purchase — for example, item names, quantities, or service components. The description helps the shopper confirm that the items or services shown match what they intended to purchase.

How to Set It Up (API)

When creating an order using the Create Order endpoint, simply include:

{
  "title": "MyShop Order #12345",
  "description": "2 × USB-C Cable, 1 × Wireless Charger"
}

You can adjust these fields to reflect your product name, order number, cart details, or any other relevant purchase information.
