Simple Theme - enabling a Popup Window

• 

  Example Popup Window

The Simple Theme allows you to display a popup window that can also contain a subscribe form. It allows you to set a title, subtitle, image, and add a button as well. It's as flexible as we could make it, whilst still displaying beautifully on different devices.

By default, the popup is shown with an image, title, subtitle, and the subscribe form. i.e. a simple popup prompting visitors to subscribe to your newsletter. It could be used a number of ways...

• Highlight a sale
• Highlight a specific product offer
• Give a first-time buyer discount using a coupon code
• Offer exclusive content if a visitor subscribes
• Remind visitors of a limited time offer
• Combat shopping cart abandonment

To enable the popup, go to your Theme Editor, scroll down to the "Marketing & SEO" section, tick the "Popup Enabled?" option, and then save your settings.

An easy way to test this feature, set the "Days until popup is displayed again" option to 0... that way the popup will show every time you refresh the page in your storefront.

• Link
  If you are adding a link to your popup, please ensure it is a relative link . If you leave the button text field empty, the link will only be on your image. If you add a button by entering text in the Button text field, then the link will apply to both the image and the button.
  
  
• Button text
  If you want to display a button, enter the text to display on the button, otherwise leave this field blank. Button styling is based on the theme setting for all buttons. You'll want to keep the text on your button short and punchy!
  
  
• Show the subscribe form?
  The subscribe form uses the settings from the subscribe form in the footer section.
  
  

Relative URL's

If you are linking to a page in your site, you should ALWAYS enter your links as relative URL's. To get the relative URL of a page on your store, view the page in your web browser, and copy the address of the page that's directly after your domain. e.g. if your page is at "joes-widgets.spiffystores.com/pages/blue-widgets", the relative url of this page is "/pages/blue-widgets".
