Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up ZB: Exit Intent Pop-up Window

Step 1: Install the App

1. Visit the Shopify App Store and search for ZB: Exit Intent Pop-up Window.
2. Click Install and connect the app to your Shopify store.
3. Access the Zotabox dashboard to begin customizing your pop-ups.

Step 2: Choose a Template

ZB: Exit Intent Pop-up Window offers multiple templates based on different marketing goals. Select the one that best fits your strategy from Template & Setting section:

• Promotion: Ideal for discounts, free shipping, or special sales.
• Email Capture: Designed to collect email leads for marketing campaigns.
• Left/Right Fields: Balanced layouts for forms and images.
• Clickable Image: Create a call-to-action button linked to a landing page.
• Custom HTML: Advanced users can insert custom code for fully personalized designs.

Note: Each template has specific features that determine which customization and functions are available. For example, the Promotion template allows adding a discount code, but it does not support email capture fields.

Step 3: Customize Content

Once you’ve selected a template, scroll down to customize the content of your pop-up. The customization options available will depend on the chosen template.

• Title & Description – Edit the main message of your pop-up to align with your campaign (e.g., “Exclusive 20% Off for First-Time Shoppers!”).
• Discount Code (if applicable) – Input the promotional code that will be displayed in the pop-up.
• CTA Button Text & Link – Customize the button text (e.g., “Claim Your Offer” or “Subscribe Now”) and set the destination link.
• Countdown Timer Setup – If using a timer, configure the expiration time, countdown style, and timezone settings.

Tip: Keep the content clear and action-driven to maximize engagement. A concise message and a compelling CTA can significantly boost conversions.

Step 4: Design Layout

Once you’ve customized all text-based content, you can now modify the background and button colors to align with your brand and campaign aesthetics.

• Background Customization – Choose a solid color, upload an image, or select from built-in options.
• Overlay & Font Adjustments – Modify the overlay transparency and font style for readability.
• Button Styling – Adjust the primary and secondary button colors, text colors, and hover effects.
• Countdown Timer & Other Elements – If your selected template includes a countdown timer or extra buttons, you’ll be able to customize their appearance.

Note: The customization options available in this section will depend on the template you selected. For example, if the template does not include a countdown timer, you won’t see options to modify it.

This step ensures that your pop-up not only conveys the right message but also visually enhances the user experience. 

Step 5: Trigger Tab

In the Trigger section, you can control how your pop-up is accessed manually:

• Tab Placement: Choose to display the tab on the left, right, or bottom of the page.
• Tab Text & Icon: Customize the text to match your offer (e.g., “Get 10% Off”).
• Tab Style: Select from bordered, gradient, or flat designs.
• Tab Background & Text Color: Adjust to align with your store’s branding.

This allows returning visitors to trigger the pop-up manually if they missed the exit intent or want to redeem an offer later.

Step 6: Set Display Rules

Fine-tune how and when your pop-up appears using Display Rules:

• Who to Show: Choose all visitors, new visitors, or returning customers.
• When to Display: Set triggers like exit intent, scrolling behavior, or timed delay.
• Location (Geo): Target visitors based on geographic location for localized promotions.
• Page Display Settings: Show the pop-up on all pages or selected pages (e.g., product pages or checkout).
• Max Display Frequency: Control how often the pop-up appears to prevent overwhelming users.

Tip: Avoid overuse—show the pop-up strategically to maximize engagement without disrupting the shopping experience.

Step 7: Save & Publish

Once your settings are finalized:

• Click Save to apply changes.
• Preview the pop-up on both desktop and mobile to ensure optimal display.
• Click Publish to activate the pop-up on your Shopify store.

Best Practices for Maximizing Conversions with Exit Intent Pop-ups

1. Use Strong Call-to-Action (CTA) Text

Make your CTA compelling with action-driven language like “Get My Discount,” “Claim Your Gift,” or “Subscribe & Save.”

2. Keep the Message Short & Engaging

Visitors should understand your offer in under 5 seconds. Avoid cluttered designs and focus on a clear, benefit-driven message.

3. Personalize Based on User Behavior

Use the Who to Show setting to display different pop-ups for:

• New visitors (offer welcome discounts).
• Returning customers (remind them of items in their cart).

4. Create Urgency with Countdown Timers

Adding a countdown timer to promotions can significantly boost conversions by encouraging immediate action.

5. Test & Optimize Your Pop-ups

• A/B test different designs, messages, and timing to find what works best.
• Monitor conversion rates and engagement metrics to refine your strategy.
