Sale popups overview

Small promotional notifications that float on your storefront, with their own list, editor, and settings.

A sale popup is a compact notification that appears in a corner of your storefront — an image, a heading, a line of text, and a close button, optionally linking somewhere. It's the place to put "The Sale is on" or "Free shipping this weekend" without taking over the page.

Sale popups aren't a countdown type. They live in their own section of the app, reached from Sale Popups in the app's menu, and they have their own list page, their own editor, and a shared settings page.

How a popup is built

The editor has four tabs:

Tab	What it holds	Guide
Component	The image, heading, text, and link	Popup content and image
Design	Background, position, size, borders, fonts, custom CSS	Design and position
Schedule	When it runs, how long it shows, how often	Visibility and schedule
Display	Which pages and shoppers see it, plus the shortcode	Display conditions

On top of those, one Popup General Settings page controls behaviour shared by every popup — timing between pops, how many at once, and the order they run in. See Sale popup general settings.

They place themselves

You don't have to put a popup anywhere. Once it's Active and its conditions match, the app floats it over the page at the position you set in the Design tab — bottom left by default.

If you'd rather pin one into the page itself, the Display tab has a shortcode for that. See Design and position.

Timing and sequencing shared by every popup.

Managing your popups

The Sale Popups page lists them all, with All, Active, and Draft tabs, search, and sorting by date or name. Select popups with the checkboxes to Set as active, Set as draft, Duplicate selected popup(s), or Delete selected popup(s) — the same pattern as the Countdowns list.

The list also shows each popup's Priority, which decides what happens when more than one popup could show at the same time.

Popups interrupt. One well-timed popup helps; three competing for a corner of the same page is why shoppers install blockers. Keep the number small and the general settings conservative.
