Disclosed embodiments provide techniques for suppression of commerce notifications based on user activity. In embodiments, the user activity is an activity such as an acknowledgement via an application on an electronic mobile computing device that is associated with the user. A first message is sent including information regarding offers and/or sales at a venue. The user may, at that time, interact with the information by pressing a button or activating a link to obtain more information. That interaction is recorded and used as criteria for sending or suppressing a second message. Alternatively, the second message may be modified. The modification can include rewording the first message as a reminder, and/or removal of audio and/or vibration alerts for the second message. These features promote a user experience in which the user is aware of a sale or promotion and the in-store experience remains positive.
