The module has two campaign types: the classic discount pop-up (an e-mail address for a single-use code, no game) and the spin to win wheel (the visitor enters an e-mail address, spins and wins a prize). Both share the codes, limits, consents, triggers and statistics. For most stores we recommend the classic pop-up, as it is the quickest way to the first sign-up.
Before you start
- the offer, for example 10% off the first order, and for how many days the code is valid,
- a privacy policy page in the store (a CMS page) for the fine print under the button to link to,
- working outgoing e-mail from the store and cron, because codes and confirmations are sent by e-mail.
1. Choose the type
Marketing › Discount Popups › Campaigns
While you have no campaign, the first-run page What do you want? opens instead of the list. Choose Classic discount pop-up or Spin to win wheel. You can add the other type later; the type of an existing campaign cannot be changed.
2. Switch on, look and offer
The wizard has three steps on one page, with a Live preview on the right that follows every change.
Switch on. Enter the Campaign name (for you only; the title for shoppers is set under Texts), choose the Store views and leave Status at Test (only you see it).
Look. Light, Dark, Christmas or Shop colours (a full palette from one colour), and the layout Card with a picture or Card without a picture. The picture should be 4:5, at least 832 x 1040 px.
Offer. Under What the shopper gets choose a percentage discount, an amount off, free shipping, an existing cart price rule or no discount, then the value and The code is valid for. Details are in Discount popup: offer and code.
Click Save as test. On save the module creates its cart price rule and the texts in the language of each store view.
3. Try it in the store and switch it on
In the campaign click Preview in the shop. A signed link opens and shows you the pop-up at once, also in test status; other visitors do not see it. A preview never creates a code.
When you are happy, set Status to On (all visitors) or click Save and switch on.
Spin to win wheel
For a wheel you edit prizes instead of one offer: discounts, free shipping or another try, each with its own weight. The editor shows the odds as you go and warns about valuable prizes. The server draws the prize and the wheel only shows it; the odds are published in the pop-up and on the rules page. For a wheel also enter the organiser (company and address) in the form and consents section.
I do not see the pop-up in the store
In test status you only see it through Preview in the shop. If the campaign is on, check whether you closed it recently (pause after closing), whether you already get the newsletter (by default it is hidden from subscribers) and whether a cookie banner is open, which the pop-up waits for.
