The editor
Settings sit on the left; your popup sits on the right, live, on a sketch of a shop page.
Preview
- Edit and Try. In Edit, click any part of the preview to select its block; it opens in the panel and is outlined in the preview. In Try, use the popup as a shopper would: type an email, spin the wheel, copy the code.
- Desktop and Phone. See the popup at desktop size or as it opens on a phone, where popups rise from the bottom as a sheet.
- Steps. Popup is what shoppers see first. After sign-up is what they see once they join or spin. Age checks also have When denied.
- Language. The language menu above the preview shows the popup in each of your store's languages.
- Replay plays the opening animation again.
Undo and redo
Undo and redo up to 100 steps with the buttons, or with ⌘Z and ⇧⌘Z (Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y on Windows). A burst of typing or one slider drag counts as one step.
Saving
Save keeps your draft. Shoppers only see your changes once you Publish.
Blocks
A popup is a stack of blocks. Add them under Add a block, drag them by the handle to reorder, and duplicate or remove them with the icons on each row. Select a block to edit its words and its style.
| Block | What it does |
|---|---|
| Heading | The main line. Choose a level; wrap words in *stars* to highlight them. |
| Text | A paragraph. Supports bold and links. |
| Image | A picture inside the content, from Site assets, with a description for screen readers. |
| Badge | A small label above the heading, or a round sticker over the corner. |
| List | A short bulleted list, such as the perks of joining. |
| Email field | Collects the shopper's email. A popup with an email field signs shoppers up. |
| Phone field | Collects a phone number for text messages. Always add the Text consent block with it. |
| Name field | Collects a first name, so your emails can greet them. |
| Email consent | The small print about marketing emails. |
| Text consent | A tick box shoppers must check to receive text messages. |
| Button | Signs up, closes, opens a page, spins the wheel, copies the code, confirms or denies age, or goes to the next step. |
| No-thanks link | A quiet way to close the popup. Keep one so phone users can always leave. |
| Discount code | Shows the code: the shopper's own code after sign-up, or the shared code on a popup without an email field. |
| Countdown | Counts to a date and time, or gives each visitor their own minutes. Switch on Big tiles for hours, minutes and seconds in large tiles. |
| Prize wheel | The spin to win wheel. Its slices and chances are set under Offer. |
| Divider and Space | A thin rule, or extra space between blocks. |
Block style
Every block can change its alignment, weight (thin to black), size (up to 160px for poster type), colours, border, spacing, width, corners, letter spacing, italics, capitals and font.
- Same row as neighbours puts blocks side by side, such as a field with its button.
- Show on limits a block to phones or desktop.
