Show Exit Popup: Controls when to show the exit popup

Only once per page: Shows only one time per page. Example: if the customer is on the cart page and has seen the Exit Popup, he won’t see it again when he tries to exit again at the cart page.

X number of times per page on exit: You can set how many times the exit popup should show per page. Example: 2 times.

Only once per session: The popup will show just only once per customer session. It won't be shown again for the rest of the customer's session.

Distance: The minimum distance in pixels from the top of the page to consider triggering for. Default 100 pixels

Cookie expiry days The add-on uses the browser's local storage for storing info like how many times it got triggered. But in older browsers, local Storage feature may not be available. In those cases, it uses the cookie. If cookie is used, you can set how many days the cookie should expire.

Exit intent popup templates
You can also use Custom CSS styles if you would like.

The template supports the following shortcodes:

{{coupon_code}} - To show the coupon code selected in the settings.

{{cart_url}} - Url to redirect to cart page.

{{checkout_url}} - Url to redirect user to checkout page.

{{email_collection_form}} - To display an email collection form.
3. Email Collection Form Styles

It is completely optional to show an Email Collection form in the Exit Popup. But it is recommended to include an email collection form.
Because quite a number of customers may not be ready to complete the purchase immediately. So getting their email address would help you to follow them up.

The email collection form can be included in the popup template using the following shortcode: {{email_collection_form}}.

You can customize the look and feel of the email collection form like the colour, background, button text and more.
