Exit intent pop-ups are windows that appear over your website when a visitor intends to leave the page. If a visitor moves their cursor toward the top of the browser window, a pop-up displays that encourages them to stay on your site and take the next step toward conversion. The most effective exit intent pop-ups highlight a promotion or explain the value that you offer your visitors.

Your exit intent pop-up settings are located in the website editor under Website > Settings.

How to enable exit intent pop-ups

  • In the website editor, click on Website, then Settings

  • The Settings pane will show an Exit pop-up card with a goal (e.g., Collect email addresses) and a status indicator (for new websites, the status will read Not enabled)

  • Click on the exit intent pop-up’s goal and status box

  • Click the dropdown box under Status and select Enabled. A live preview of your pop-up will appear to the right of the Exit pop-up pane.

  • Note that the exit intent pop-up will not be live on the website until the website is published

How to change the type of exit intent pop-up you use

The goal of your exit intent pop-up changes the type of pop-up used and where it automatically displays on your website. The only goal that’s available currently is Collect email addresses, with plans to eventually add more. 

  • In the website editor, click on Website then Settings 

  • The Settings pane will show an Exit pop-up card with a goal (e.g., Collect email addresses)

  • Click on the exit intent pop-up’s goal and status box

  • When additional goals become available, you’ll click the dropdown box under Goal to view these options 

  • Click the dropdown box under Display on... to determine whether your pop-up appears on all pages of your website or only specific pages. If you select Specific pages, a list of your website’s pages will appear with corresponding checkboxes. Click the checkbox next to a page to enable an exit intent pop-up on that page. 

  • The changes you make to your pop-up settings are saved automatically
