The signup popup is the “create an account, get 10% off” modal on your storefront — rebuilt the right way. Instead of a shared welcome code that leaks to coupon sites, every signup mints a unique, single-use code locked to that customer’s account. You control the offer, the audience, the timing, and how politely it behaves.

Manage popups at Marketing → Signup Popups. One active popup shows at a time.
ℹ️ Note: New popups start Off — nothing goes live until you flip Active. (The opposite of promotions, which start active.)
What the shopper experiences
- The popup appears (per your triggers) — never on cart or checkout, and never on top of the cookie-consent banner; it waits its turn.
- They create an account right in the popup (name, email, password) — and optionally tick the newsletter box for a bigger reward.
- Instantly: a unique code like
WELCOME-F3S79Uappears on screen, already applied to their cart, and they’re signed in. - Within seconds, two emails arrive: a welcome email and their code — see Welcome emails.
- The subscriber (if opted in) lands in your mailing list, linked to the account.
Because the code is account-locked and single-use, forwarding it to a friend does nothing — and requiring the account up front means checkout stays clean later (no login wall at payment).

Basics
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Name (required) | Internal only — shoppers never see it |
| Active | Live/Off switch |
| Collects | Full account (name/email/password) or Email only |
Content
All shopper-facing copy is yours to edit: Heading, Body, optional Image URL, Button text, and the Success heading/body shown after signup. Sensible defaults are pre-filled.
Reward
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Give a coupon on signup | Master switch for the reward |
| Type / Value | Percentage or fixed amount — e.g. 10% |
| Code prefix | Codes mint as PREFIX-XXXXXX, e.g. WELCOME-A1B2C3. Letters/numbers only |
| Expires after (days) | Countdown from signup — default 30. Blank/0 = no expiry |
Every code is unique, single-use, and locked to the account that earned it. Codes avoid look-alike characters (no 0/O or 1/I), so they’re easy to read from the email.
Newsletter bonus
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Show newsletter opt-in checkbox | Adds the opt-in to the form |
| Checkbox label | The shopper-facing pitch, e.g. “BONUS: Subscribe to our newsletter + get an extra 5% off!” |
| Extra reward when checked | Added to the base reward as one code — 10% + 5% mints a single 15% code, nothing stacks |
Opt-ins are recorded in your subscriber list linked to the new account; customers who previously unsubscribed are never silently re-subscribed. (For percentage rewards, base + bonus can’t exceed 100%.)
When to show it
Any enabled trigger fires the popup — whichever happens first wins. Set 0 / off to disable a trigger.
| Trigger | Field |
|---|---|
| Time on page | After (seconds on page) — default 5 |
| Scroll depth | After scrolling (%) |
| Exit intent | On exit intent — desktop only (no equivalent on touch devices) |
| Page count | After N pages viewed |
Who sees it & how often
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Audience | Everyone · New visitors only · Returning visitors only |
| Hide for (days) after dismiss | Closed it? It stays gone this long — default 7 |
| Max shows per session | Cap per browsing session — default 1 |
| Never show on these paths | Extra excluded pages (type a path, press Enter). Cart & checkout are always excluded automatically |
On top of your settings, the popup automatically suppresses itself for signed-in customers, for anyone who already converted through it (permanently), and until the visitor has answered the cookie banner.

Schedule (optional)
Starts / Ends run the popup for a window — a holiday signup push that turns itself off. Outside the window the popup simply doesn’t load.
💡 Tip: Testing your own popup? Sign out (it hides for logged-in customers), and use a private/incognito window — your normal browser remembers that you dismissed or converted and politely refuses to nag you.
Next: Welcome emails.
