Please click the ‘refresh’ button on our setting page or press ctrl F5 (ctrl R on Mac) to display your tools (after saving your changes or ‘x’ closing the tools on your browser). You can also add /#zbrefresh to your website url  (Ex. www.mywebsitename.com/#zbrefresh )

OR you can open website in private/incognito browser window (for temporary browser cache issues) or open your website on another computer or browser. 

Note: Some display options such as display tools for ‘new visitors only’ require you to test in private browser mode. 

To open Chrome/Firefox private browser, go to top right corner of browser, look for 3 dots (chrome) or 3 bars (firefox) and right click. Choose “New Incognito Window” or “New Private Window”.

If you ‘X’ (close) your tools, they will not display again for 1 session (session length depends on browser settings). Please CLOSE your browser after testing and refresh your website again. 

Some tools such as popups will only display once per session (website visit) to avoid annoying your customers.

Browser session length depends on individual browser settings:

• For example, IF you browser ‘remembers’ your tabs when you reopen your browser it will be the ‘same’ browser session.
• Please unclick this option on your browser settings when testing. 
• You can select to display tools ‘once per day/hour’ on the display options IF you would like certain tools like popups to appear more frequently.

Some tools do not display on smaller mobile screens. Please double check the “Display Options” on the setting page for ‘minimum screen size’ for each tool.

If you enter your email, the tool will NOT display again (to avoid annoying your new subscribers). Please test in private browser mode.

Shopify does not display 3rd party tools on their checkout page (only cart page and other pages).

For WordPress users, some custom themes may conflict with our app. Please install our embed code manually and clear and delete your cache.

For Ecwid merchants, our tools will only display on Ecwid pages. If you have embedded Ecwid in your website, copy our embed code to the into the or tag of your website (same as your Google Analytics code) to display our tools on ALL pages of your website.

For Weebly users, please ‘publish’ in your weebly admin section after installing our app and saving and turning ON tools.

For Big Commerce users, please embed our code again if you change your theme.

Our tools will not load on Wix platforms or pages embedding in Wix (because they are required to load inside an I-Frame)

If you have an Ad Blocker extension in your browser, please disable it.

Rocket Loader of CloudFlare is still in Beta and may cause a conflict with our script. Please disable Rocket Loader or add data-cfasync=”false” to our script:

< script data-cfasync="false"  ...

If you have a stand alone website, please ensure the zotabox code is embedded in your website footer (html source) https://zotabox.com/dashboard/embeddedcode/.

Zotabox tools will not load if embedded inside an I-Frame.

Zotabox tools load asynchronously (after your website loads, so your visitors can interact with your website before our tools load) and will not affect your website’s loading speed.

Note: Loading time depends on the location and the internet connection at the time.

All our static resources are delivered through premium CloudFlare CDN and using dynamic browser cache. (we can not minimize our script further or it will affect our tool’s proper performance).

We have developed our ZB Framework / micro services that uses the latest NodeJs, PHP, MySQL, NoSql, PM2 technology to deliver maximum performance and the quickest load times.

Our loading speed maybe affected by other 3rd party tools. Please delete unused tools or consider using a CDN system like CloudFlare to speed up loading static resources.

Shopify merchants can also embed our code manually to speed up loading times (if you have multiple apps installed on your site).

Third party widgets like Facebook and Google may take longer to load first time but load faster for your repeat visitors.

Facebook’s script (for live chat) may take some time to load, BUT will load AFTER your general website script is loaded so will not affect your user’s general experience of your website.

Loading speed is only one factor in your overall user experience. Ex. Amazon has a low score but high traffic and good user experience.

You can get suggestions to improve your website loading speed here.

You can also test your website performance without Zotabox tools by adding #zbstop in the end of your website URL.

Eg. http://yourdomain.com/#zbstop

Zotabox also has flexible display rules to maximize customer impact.

Your Zotabox tools will be automatically turned OFF if you reach 120% of your existing plan visits for the current calendar month.

(Your monthly/yearly payment date may fall on another day during the month).

For example on our starter plan, your Zotabox tools will be turned OFF when you reach 6,000 website visitors for the current calendar month (30,000 for the express plan etc).

You will be sent reminder emails automatically when you reach 95% and 120% of your visit limits for the current month.

Your limit will be automatically reset to zero at the beginning of the next calendar month (12:00 am GMT + 0) and your tools will be automatically displayed again.

Our pricing plans are based on general website sessions (not tool impressions or clicks) to easily compare with your Google analytics and to avoid complications with multiple active tools and complex display options.

You can compare your visits with your Google Analytics (ours should be lower). If you see a large discrepancy, please give us a screenshot of your Google Analytics – Audience – Overview – Sessions – current month.

There is no website visit limits while on our 30 day premium trial.

Please see our tool tips for each display option. To select a group of pages please use an ‘*’. Ex /blog* for all pages with /blog in your url.

For more Display Options, please see our Display Option User Guide.

Some tools do not display on mobile devices because they do not look good on smaller screens.

You may adjust settings with display rules on the setting page.

The ‘exit intent’ display rule does not work on mobile devices – browsers do NOT allow us to ‘block’ when you visitor clicks the ‘back button’ so we can NOT detect ‘exit intent.

Zotabox does not ‘auto-translate’ your tools but you can add multiple tools (with different languages) to the same website and set page based display rules to display each tool on different pages. For example English tools on English pages etc.

If you have different languages on different domains you can add another website to your Zotabox account on the dashboard.

Note: Our tools display within an iframe that may not be compatible with an auto-translation tool. Please try using a Google Translate plugin.

We are sorry, Shopify does not allow most 3rd party tools on their checkout page (only on the cart page and other pages).

The only exception is our Advanced Discount Rules which work ONLY on the checkout page. These are Shopify restrictions.

To test your ‘returning customer’ display rule, please open your website browser (using refresh website button on your zotabox setting page).

Then close your browser and reopen again. (Please make sure your browser does not ‘remember’ your previous settings and re-opens your previously closed tabs – this will NOT trigger the ‘returning customer’ display rule).

You can also ‘refresh’ your website browser on the zotabox setting page to test again.

(this display rule will not work in private/incognito browser mode).

Yes, you can add custom tracking with Google Analytics or Facebook Pixel to your Zotabox account.

Please go to your dashboard – settings – advanced settings.

This FAQ will also help.

Please install your Zotabox embed code manually on your non-EcWid website pages to display the same zotabox tools on ALL your website pages.

Your popup height depends on size chosen (small, medium, large, square) and your text length, # of fields, buttons etc. on your popup.

Our 4 standard popup sizes are: + Large (800 x 533 pixels) + Medium (600 x 400 pixels) + Small (500x 375 pixels) + Square (450 x 450 pixels).

The popups will display the standard size on large screens and are auto-responsive (cropped) on narrow tablet and mobile devices.

Note: If your popup content (text length, buttons, fields etc.) is greater than the standard popup height then the actual popup height will follow your popup content.

We don’t recommend using text on background images as it maybe automatically cropped.

You can also choose to display on minimum size – tablet with the display options on the setting page.

We hope this information helps you.

Shopify restricts applying discount or adding free gift to the checkout page only (we are unable to add to the shopping cart page).

If you experience any issues, please remove other apps or plugins related to your checkout or cart to avoid potential conflicts.

Push Notifications consists of TWO consecutive popups that your visitors will see on your website. You can customize both popups on the setting page.

Your website visitor MUST ‘allow‘ BOTH popups to be added to your subscriber list. Your visitor’s anonymous browser ID is added to your subscriber list (not your visitor name or email).

Important Note: Your visitor will only RECEIVE push notifications from you on the SAME browser and device that they originally subscribe on (Ex. Chrome/home desktop, Firefox/mobile device, Safari/office desktop etc).

After your visitor has ‘allowed’ BOTH popups they will be added to your ‘subscription’ list. You can now ‘send notifications’ to them.

This tool does NOT work in ‘preview’ mode (only on your live site).

Note: After your visitor’s subscribe, they will NOT see the original notification popup again on your site.

When testing

Be sure to ‘allow notifications’ in your browser to see both notification popups.

IF you ‘allow’ both popups on your website and then refresh your website, you will ONLY see the FIRST popup again on your site.

To see the 2nd popup, you must go to your browser settings/notifications/allow – then remove your push notification, to see the 2nd popup again.

OR you can choose another browser (or another Chrome login) to see your website fresh on another browser. The push notifications work on Chrome, Firefox and Edge. Safari blocks all push notifications.

Note: When a browser receives the messages, we will record a sent result. After that, if the browser is opened by customer, we will record a new messenger seen. Some merchants record higher ‘seen’ %. We can not control this.

We are sorry, Facebook has removed the ‘x’ to close the chat box and automatically opens the chat box when your visitor enters your site.

We can not override this.

Your visitors can click your icon or tab to close the chat box.

Zotabox can only display the Messenger icon on your website. The chat window is 100% controlled by Facebook.

To have the chat box display on your website (instead of redirecting to a new Messenger tab), you MUST meet the following facebook conditions. If you still have issues after meeting ALL these conditions, you will need to contact Facebook for support.

WHITELIST your domain in your fanpage settings and save on the Zotabox setting page (and refresh your website). (Be sure to copy and paste your website domain from your browser window to your fanpage Whitelist settings. You need to have admin access to whitelist your domain on your fanpage).

Facebook chat will only work with fanpages or business pages (not personal facebook accounts).

Have absolutely NO restrictions in your fanpage settings (including age, country, messaging, tagging, languages etc.) Live chat will NOT work with ANY restrictions on your fanpage settings.

Your facebook fanpage must be PUBLISHED.

Facebook Live Chat will only work with secure websites. https:// (NOT  http://)

Disable any ‘adblocker’ extensions in your browser settings.

Refresh your website browser (ctrl F5) IF the live chat appeared on your site before.

In some cases, Facebook will block a whitelisted domain. We do not know the reason and can not override this. Please contact Facebook support directly to help you in this case.

(Our custom icon will open a New Messenger tab in this case).

WordPress users, if you have whitelisted your domain (by copying and pasting your domain url) and the icon still does not display, please embed our code manually using these easy instructions to avoid conflicts with custom themes.

A slow internet connection may cause the default chat icon to display slower or not at all. Please choose a custom icon to redirect to Messenger in this case.

If you meet ALL of facebook’s conditions, please contact Facebook support. Zotabox is unable to help you in this case. (99% of merchants who meet ALL of the above conditions can display the live chat on their website).

You maybe redirected to the Messenger app on mobile browsers IF you meet these conditions.

Facebook will ask your visitors to create a Messenger account if they do not have a Messenger or Facebook account already but with almost 2 billion active users on Facebook/Messenger most of your visitors will already have an account.

Everything ‘inside’ the chat box is controlled by Messenger.

Please go to your facebook fanpage or business page “settings – messaging” to create a greeting, instant message and scheduling.

The chat box on mobile devices is controlled by Facebook and your browser (ex. Safari opens Messenger on a new tab).

On mobile devices, you will be redirected to the Messenger app IF:

A. You click on our custom icon before the facebook script loads (Please wait a couple of seconds)

B. You have an old operating system or mobile browser.

C. Your visitor has not opened Messenger within their mobile browser before. Your visitor will be asked to login OR create a Messenger account and then will not be asked again.

Note: Messenger will NOT auto open the chat box on mobile devices. Your visitor HAS to click the mobile icon.

Messenger will display ‘full screen’ on mobile devices. This is a Messenger setting that we can not override.

Redirecting to a Messenger is a browser/Facebook issue. Zotabox can not control this. Please make sure you also meet ALL of Facebook’s requirements to display live chat on your website.

This message is from Facebook’s spam protection.

Only a few of your customers will see this.

We can not control who sees this message on our end.

Facebook 100% controls the chat box, not Zotabox.

They have decided to always display the chat box to your website visitors.

If your chat box does not display please see this FAQ.

Please go to your facebook fanpage – messages to see incoming messages from your visitors.

Your visitors will see your reply LIVE on your website in THEIR browser (you will see THEIR messages in your facebook fanpage).

Please install the PAGES MANAGER app on your mobile device to receive messages on mobile devices.

You need admin access to your facebook fanpage to see and respond to messages from your website visitors.

When testing on your website you will see YOUR name in the Messenger chat box (Your website visitors will see THEIR NAME when visiting your website)

Please install the Facebook Pages Manager app to manage mobile notifications for your business facebook fanpage.

Be sure your notifications are turned ON for your “Pages Manager” AND your general phone notifications for “Pages Manager”.

Also, make sure any ‘Do not disturb’ settings are turned OFF on your phone and ad blockers are disabled.

This problem is caused when another facebook script on your website is overriding the language settings of our facebook live chat.

Example:  //connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js (on your website) should be //connect.facebook.net/pl_PL/sdk.js  (or your language)

(en_US = English) (pl_PL = Ex. your language)

You may need a developer to help you update the scripts on your website. We can not do this on our end.

This is a feature of Facebook to protect your website visitors.

Your developer will be able to help or we can do a one-time simple adjustment (such as move icon or change color) for you at no additional charge.

When your VISITORS come to your site they will see THEIR social account (when sharing your website or in the chat box).

We hope this clears up any confusion.

You may need a developer to help you.

Facebook automatically chooses what images etc to use when your visitors ‘share’ your website.

Note: Facebook requires your website is public (not password protected) to automatically choose images to share.  Please test share feature on live website.

You can ‘tell’ Facebook what images to share by using the following code.

Here are some quick instructions to embed social meta tags to Shopify theme.

You may need a developer to help you.

If your image displays incorrectly in your facebook post, your site needs to have a ‘ og:image ‘ tag to display your image correctly. You may need to speak to a developer to help you with this issue.

On some social tools you can choose to allow your customers to ‘share’ your website with their friends OR ‘follow’ your social account.

For the ‘share’ option we do NOT need your social account information.

Currently, our social mobile tool only allows the ‘share’ option. The ‘follow’ option is available on our other social tools. We hope to add the ‘follow’ option to other tools in the near future. Thank you for your patience.

Please use our social mobile bar to display social buttons on mobile devices.

The Social Mobile Bar only supports the ‘share’ your website option (not the ‘follow’ your social account – except Youtube and Instagram).

If you choose ‘follow’ your social account on desktop (or Youtube or Instagram on mobile), please enter your social account on the ‘configure’ or ‘Update’ tab on the Zotabox setting page.

Please choose ‘follow’ your social account then ‘configure’ your social account to add/edit your social account.

Please note that the social mobile bar only offers the ‘share’ your website option (not the ‘follow’ your social account).

Please ‘configure’ your messaging buttons on the setting page.

Your website visitors will need to install a QR code reader on their mobile phone to read your code and message you on their mobile device.

Your customer must also have the messaging app installed on their phone to message you via Whatsapp, Messenger etc.

Instagram only supports the ‘follow’ your social account option, not ‘sharing’ your website option.

Please enter your instagram account on the 2nd tab on your Zotabox setting page.

Our social buttons are currently not ’embeddable’.

We intend to add this feature in the coming months after we complete our current priorities.

Thank you for your patience.

Your website visitors need to have whatsapp installed on their mobile device or computer to use our whatsapp (contact or share) button.

This is a limitation of whatsapp. They currently do not request ‘non-users’ to automatically create an account.

The share totals (per your website page) come directly from the social networks. Zotabox can not change or alter these totals. To compare your totals to a 3rd party provider, please enter your page url at sharedcount.com.

Some networks, no longer support share totals. Ex. Twitter and G+.

Youtube does not support custom channels. Ex. https://youtube.com/c/….

Please use this format – https://youtube.com/channel/….

Click on ‘Home’ tab above video (not the home tab in left column) to get standard channel url and copy and paste in Zotabox setting page.

When testing, you will see YOUR social account (to share your website or ‘chat’).

When your VISITORS come to your site they will see THEIR social account (when sharing your website or in the chat box).

We hope this clears up any confusion.

We are sorry, the Testimonial tool displays on tablet size screens and larger (they do not look good on smaller mobile screens).

Yes, of course.

Just upload images of your products and edit the descriptions.

We recommending using a European proxy server such as Zenmate to test your website in EU countries.

Choose where and when to show your promotions to achieve maximum effect.

Where to display:

This maybe the most important consideration when setting up your new promotions. You may not want to display your promotion on every page of your website.

You can also select to display/don’t display on some pages such as your cart/home page/FAQ page etc.

(Note: Shopify does not allow 3rd party tools on the checkout page).

You can get creative with certain tools such as popup to display ‘on exit’ on certain pages only, IF you would like to reduce cart abandonment or if your visitor exits a certain product page (or category).

Who to show:

Do you want to display your promotions to all visitors? Maybe not.

Maybe you want to show your news or promotion to returning visitors who are familiar with your site.

How about first time or new visitors? You can give them a special ‘don’t go away’ discount’ that your regular visitors will not see.

Note: Visitors are tracked via anonymous cookies placed on their browser to enable our tools to display properly. A new visitor that clears cookies or uses another computer or browser may see the same promotion again. You can see our visitors privacy policy here.  

You can also choose to display to ‘active visitors’ who have clicked 3 or more times or visited 2 or more pages. Great to target your best visitors with a email capture request (give something in return such as a discount or free gift 🙂 ).

When to Display:

Be creative with your promotions. Your visitors may not want to be bombarded on the first page immediately with promotions. You can choose to display your promotions after a few seconds, when your visitor scrolls a percentage down the page or on exit.

Some tools also give you the option of hiding the tools after a period of time. Useful for say testimonials or simple news where you can free up space on your site after your visitor has read the important information.

How often to display:

Our popups offer maximum display frequency to match your website needs. Do you want to remind your frequent visitors of your offer every visit or less often?

Note: ‘Every visit’ depends on your visitor’s browser settings. If your visitor’s browser sessions remain ‘open’ for long periods they may NOT see your popup every visit.

In this case we recommend choosing ‘one visit per hour’ to display your popup more frequently.

Please refresh your website browser when testing by adding /#zbrefresh to your website url (ex. https://mywebsite.com/#zbrefresh) to avoid temporary browser cache issues.

To test ‘once per day/week’ etc. , please close your website tab and open again after one hour (our ‘session’ cookies last one hour and may display your tool again within 1 hour).

Where to Display (Geo):

Do you want to ‘target’ your promotions by city or country. You can do that with our display options. For example, you may only want to offer free shipping to US residents.

Active/Expire Time:

You can set an activation and/or expire time for your Zotabox tools. Just set the dates and time you wish and your tools will turn on/off at your selected local time.

Note: If you use a countdown timer on any of your tools, your tools will automatically turn OFF when the timer reaches zero (or when the expire time has been reached, whatever comes first).

Minimum Screen Size:

Sometimes you may not want to display certain tools or promotions on mobile devices (or display ONLY on mobile devices).. You can preview your tools on the setting page for different devices.  

Note: Some tools automatically do NOT display on smaller mobile screens.

Multi-tool feature:

With our ‘multi-tool’ feature you can add multiple popups, header bars, contact forms etc to the same website, each with custom display options.

Note: You can set up a ‘general settings’ for all/most of your tools IF all/most of your tools will have the same display setting.

Fixed, Scroll and Smart:

Some tools like our header bar or social mobile bar give merchants the option to set ‘fixed or scroll’ so the tool will remain in place when your visitor scrolls down the page (fixed) or move with the page when your visitor scrolls (scroll).

Save and Refresh:

Be sure to save your new display settings and refresh your website on your setting page to see the new changes.

Suggestions and Comments:

We love to hear your suggestions and comments. Please write to us at customerservice@zotabox.com.

We may think your idea is great and implement it right away but we generally prioritize new suggestions based on the number of requests that we receive.

Non – EU merchants/websites please ‘uncheck’ the ‘Display in EU countries only box’ to test your website.

Please also REFRESH your website on the setting page or add /#zbrefresh to your website url.
