Checkout Success Page: Thank You Page with a custom CMS block + order details (Magento 2)

Why this module?

The default Thank You Page in Magento often ends the customer journey with a short message and an order number. This module turns the success page into a useful post‑purchase communication touchpoint, without heavy builders and without rebuilding the checkout.

What does the Kowal_CheckoutThankYouPage module do?

After an order is placed, it displays on the success page:

1. Standard Magento messages (order number + link to view the order if the customer has permissions) and information about the confirmation email.

2. Order details section (order date + standard Magento blocks with order information).

3. Order items view + totals — including taxes, and in Magento EE also gift card support (block added conditionally after configuration).

4. Additional container order.success.additional.info — other modules can inject their own content there.

5. Selected CMS block at the bottom of the success page (configured in the admin) — ideal for:

   • what to do next instructions

   • a repeat purchase CTA

   • a promotional banner

   • delivery/returns information

   • contact/FAQ links

6. Continue Shopping button.

Key advantages (directly reflected in the code)

• Simple configuration: enable/disable + select one CMS block to display on the success page.

• Works per store view (scope: default/website/store).

• Efficient CMS rendering: the block content is processed by the standard CMS filter (directives, variables) and cached (24h by default) with a store‑scoped cache key.

• No conflict with the larger module: if it detects an active Kowal_ThankYouPage (and enabled in configuration), then:

  • the option in the admin is frozen (disabled),

  • and the success page remains controlled by that larger module.

• No tables or database changes: the installation is lightweight (layout + blocks + configuration).
