How can I add a promotional popup to my front page?

Shopify Discussion

I’m trying to add a popup window to my front page (using symmetry theme from Clean Canvas). I already have a pop up for my mailchimp connection, but I need to add a promotional pop up that show up after 15 seconds and all I can find is tutorials for a button modal popup. I don’t really want to add an app to pay a monthly fee for a popup - any ideas?

If you link to one of the tutorials I can see if I can help you convert it to a timed trigger instead of a button trigger.

Here is one I found: https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_js_popup.asp

I want a timed pop up on the lower right hand corner with the exit ability.

If you know your way around a little bit of JavaScript you can use the setTimeout() function.

It works something like this:

// 15000 milliseconds = 15 seconds
var milliseconds = 15000;

function openPopup() {
  // code to show popup
}

setTimeout(openPopup, milliseconds);

Thank you, I will give it a try and report back :slightly_smiling_face:

Hey, @beebeekins21

There is a free app called Sales Pop Ups & Email Popups that has a free plan available. You can check out the app demo here.

Alternatively, Aiva also offers a free plan that you could utilize as well. Their app demo can be found here.

If there is anything else I can help you with, please let me know.

Hey,

If you mean a trigger like this, we have it in Elfsight’s popup app. There is a lifetime free plan with a limit in views. So, it depends on how big your project is. Feel free to test the app, since it costs nothing to you.

Good luck,

Elfsight Team
