You can add popups to your Shopify store to:
But you can’t make popups in Shopify. You’ll need an app that integrates with Shopify to design and launch your popup campaigns.
Luckily, creating popups is easy with ConvertFlow’s no-code drag-and-drop builder.
Launch your own Shopify popups today with this step-by-step guide.
To do this, we’ll be using ConvertFlow’s popup builder and Shopify integration.
Let’s get started.
To make adding a popup on Shopify easy, head to ConvertFlow’s popup template library to find a design that suits your goal.
For this guide, we’ll use a simple email & SMS template:

The template we chose has four campaign formats to choose from:
Those formats might be useful for future campaigns, but today, we’re trying to grab our audience’s attention when they land on the website. So, let’s go with the overlay popup.
Now that you’ve chosen the template and format for your popup, you’ll land in ConvertFlow’s drag-and-drop builder:
Here, you can customize everything about your Shopify popup including the pictures, copy, button actions, and forms. You can even add more elements like timers and products.
Before adding or changing any content, though, it’s worth setting your popup’s theme first.
In ConvertFlow, there are two ways to change the appearance of your popup:
We recommend starting at the theme level for consistency. Then, change individual elements as needed.
To edit your theme, click the “Theme” tab in the right-side panel. There, you’ll find a full list of element types that you can customize:
For this example, we’ll customize the button colors to match our brand:
Continue editing each theme element to match your brand’s colors, fonts, and other aesthetic preferences you have for your Shopify popup campaign.
Now, choose when your popup will show to site visitors.
Head to the “Settings” tab in the builder panel. Under popup trigger, choose your trigger type:
The two-tap floating button can be set to trigger after a shopper closes the popup, too. Then, when your customer is ready to take advantage of your offer, they can access it again easily.
Note: For advanced targeting, you’ll be able to choose what pages and visitor segments your popup appears in a later step.
Next, adjust the trigger suppression settings for your popup:
This will prevent the popup from appearing for a certain amount of time after the shopper closes it.
Trigger suppression isn’t available for “upon click only,” since it’s dependent on the shopper’s action.
Now it’s time to make the popup yours!
Update the popup with your:
To customize the content, click the element you want to update and the side panel will show you all the options you can control:
Let’s update our popup with a free gift offer instead of a discount:
You can add other elements to your campaign by clicking on the “+” sign that appears when you hover your mouse over different sections in the builder.
Note: If you add a product element, you’ll want to connect your Shopify store in the next step so you can easily display your products.
Integrating Shopify and ConvertFlow takes just a few clicks and will enable you to pull in product and customer information for your campaigns 🤩
From your website’s dashboard in ConvertFlow, go to “Settings,” then “Integrations” in the left-side menu. Find Shopify and click the “Connect" button:
You'll arrive on ConvertFlow's listing on Shopify's app store. Click "Add app" and follow the instructions on-screen to integrate.
Now that you’re connected to Shopify, ConvertFlow’s script will be automatically installed on your store 🦾
If you’re creating a popup with an opt-in form like we are here, you’ll also want to connect your email marketing tool or other customer database.
We’ll use Klaviyo as an example.
To connect, select the form element in one of your steps in the builder. Then, click “Manage Actions”:
Then, click “Manage integrations.” Find Klaviyo in the menu and select, “Connect”:
Verify the integration by following the on-screen instructions.
With your CRM or ESP connected, you’ll want to link the form fields in your popup so that your form submissions get logged in your database.
After connecting to Klaviyo (or other software), you’ll be brought back to the “Manage Actions” window. Click “Add automation”:
Then, select your automation type. In this case, we want to add site visitors to a list in Klaviyo, so we’ll select “Klaviyo - Add to list.” Then, choose the appropriate list from the Lists dropdown menu.
Click “Create automation,” then “Done.”
Now all new subscribers from your Shopify popup will be automatically added to your Klaviyo list 🕺🏽
Repeat this for the SMS form in the second step of the popup, choosing the appropriate list for SMS subscribers.
The last step in the popup template we chose recommends shoppers to take a quiz. This is a great idea to continue guiding your customers’ experience on your website and helping them find relevant products. But you can also make this last step anything you want.
You can connect that final step to a specific product collection or another campaign. Or, you can remove the button and make the last step a simple confirmation message.
To keep it simple for now, let’s direct our new subscribers to shop a collection of our best-selling products.
So, we’ll start by updating the copy of the last step:
Now, to link to the product collection, click the button element. Then, select “Manage Actions.”
Here, leave the Default Confirmation Action Type as “Redirect to a URL.” Then, we’ll enter our collection URL into the form:
Click “Done” when you’re finished.
You’re in the home stretch! When you’re done editing your popup, save and publish your changes.
Don’t worry, this won’t make it live on your website just yet.
Then, click “Preview” to test your popup:
Your popup will appear based on the trigger you set earlier. You can interact with it just like a shopper would on your website.
However, testing your popup won’t count towards your campaign stats and it won’t trigger any automations, like adding an email address to your subscriber list. So, feel free to test out your popup’s functionality.
It’s time to add your popup to your Shopify store.
Click “Launch.” From this page, you can control what pages your Shopify popup shows on and which shopper segments it appears to:
With targeting conditions added, toggle the checkbox to activate your popup:
Congrats! Your popup is live ⚡
