Popups
Reviewed by Eran Betzalel, founder · 2026-06-26
A BoostPop popup is a modal overlay that appears on top of your storefront content. It is the most effective widget for email capture because it demands attention. Visitors have to interact with it before they continue browsing.
Popups support a full sign-up form with configurable contact fields, a built-in coupon engine that can generate unique discount codes per subscriber, and four trigger modes so you can time the popup to the moment a visitor is most receptive. Combine them with the spin-to-win wheel to gamify email capture, or add product recommendations to turn the popup into an upsell moment.
- 1
Create a new campaign
In the BoostPop dashboard, click New campaign and select Pop-Up as the widget type. Pick a template or start from scratch.
- 2
Write your copy
In the Text section, set a Title and Body. Optionally enable a Footer with its own text and text color for legal copy or secondary messaging.
- 3
Configure the sign-up form
In the Sign Up section, enable the form and choose which contact fields to collect: Email is always included; you can also add Phone, First Name, Last Name, Birth Date, Address, and an Opt-In checkbox for popups.
- 4
Attach a coupon
In the Coupon section, choose No Coupon, Existing Coupon (enter your Shopify discount code), or Create Coupon (pick Percent or Fixed, set a value and expiry in days). Enable Send by email to deliver the code to subscribers.
- 5
Set the trigger
In the Trigger section, choose when the popup fires: on page load, on exit intent (mouse leaves the window on desktop; quick scroll-up on mobile), after a time delay (1-60 s), after a scroll depth (25-200 %), after visitor idle time (5-300 s), or when a specific product variant is in the cart.

Publish
Save & Publish. The popup is now live and will fire according to your trigger settings.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I show the popup only once per visitor?
- Use the Schedule tab to set a Frequency limit (for example, 1 time per week) so the same visitor is not shown the popup repeatedly.
- What happens after a visitor subscribes?
- BoostPop shows the Conversion success message you configure in the Conversion tab. If you enabled a coupon with Send by email, the code is also emailed to the subscriber.
