Let’s start with popups. Click on it, and you’ll be on a new window. There are four types of popups you can create:
- Exit intent - A popup message will show up to make a final offer when the cursor is detected trying to exit the page at the top section of the screen.

- Newsletter subscription - A popup message will show up when someone clicks the button displayed in your online store.
- Announcement bar - An announcement bar will be displayed at the top of your store when your customer reaches a specific page.
Enable Exit intent popup and maybe customize it a little bit. For the exit-intent popups, there are 3 options, general popup, Exit intent for the shopping cart page, or you can create your own advanced popup.
