Pop-ups are crucial in WooCommerce marketing, helping store owners capture leads, recover abandoned carts, and increase conversion rates. Whether you want to welcome visitors with an exclusive offer, encourage cart recovery, or retain existing users, customizing your pop-ups ensures they align with your store’s branding and goals. In this article, we’ll discuss how to create fully customized, conversion-optimized pop-ups that align with your WooCommerce store’s marketing strategy using WebToffee E-commerce Marketing Automation.
- Navigate to Web Campaigns from the WebToffee Marketing sidebar menu.
- This will open the campaigns dashboard, where you can manage and create campaigns.
Step 2: Head to the Pop-up Editor (Template Editor)
To begin customizing your pop-up, let’s first head to the pop-up editor:

- After selecting a template, hover over the Sign-up Screen (Step 1) and click “Edit Template.”
Note: Each pop-up has two screens:
A. Sign-up Screen (Initial Pop-up)
- This is the first screen that users see.
B. Success Screen (After Form Submission)
- This screen appears after the user submits the form.
Step 3: Customizing the Sign-up Screen

Best Practices for Pop-ups
A. Welcome Campaigns
- Offer value upfront (discounts, exclusive deals).
- Keep forms short (Name & Email only).
- Use contrasting CTA colors for better visibility.
B. Cart Recovery Campaigns
- Remind users of their abandoned cart.
- Offer a discount to encourage checkout.
- Show a direct “Return to Cart/Checkout” button.
C. Exit Intent Pop-ups
- Trigger the pop-up right before the user leaves.
- Use compelling offers to make them stay (e.g., “Wait! 10% Off Before You Go!”).
- Ensure an easy opt-out option for better user experience.
