About Magento Popup for Newsletter and Exit Intent.

Build your email list, bigger, faster than ever before. You can create beautiful pop ups in minutes & start converting your website visitors into subscribers, social followers & customers. The extension comes with 4 conversion rate optimized responsive designs.

This extension provides the merchants the possibility to collect customer email addresses in a pop-up box or a signup floating bar at the bottom of the screen, in an intelligent conversion oriented way. It is fully responsive and looks good on all mobile devices. You have full control over newsletter popup content, so you can easily add promotions, discounts or any type of message that will make your audience join your mailing list. By using a mailing list, you can remain in contact with your customers, and constantly engage with them, providing useful information about your products, services and occasional promotions. Mailing lists are a powerful sales channel that every merchant should use to increase conversions.

Why does this extension increase signups?

Well, because it was built in a conversion oriented way. We added a few features that we tested and measured, in order to increase the newsletter signup rate. You can set it up to trigger based on all sort of smart configurations like the ones described below.

Newsletter will trigger after a specific number of seconds. It is known that if you use a time delay before triggering the newsletter signup, the customer signup conversion rate increases significantly. The good news is that this extension has such a setting available, allowing you to delay the popup trigger.

Newsletter will trigger only on specific pages. With this extension you can choose on what pages the newsletter popup will trigger. We made sure to avoid newsletter trigger on pages like cart or checkout, and left merchants with the possibility of choosing to trigger on any of the remaining store pages or only on homepage.

Newsletter will trigger after a specific number of pages. Each visitor has it's own way of surfing your site. You don't want to rush to early and ask for the email signup as the customer didn't had the chance to get familiar with your brand yet. So, for this purpose we added the possibility to display the email popup after a specific number of seconds as the signup conversion is much higher once your customers get familiar with your brand.

Newsletter can trigger only on desktop, mobile or both, but if you set it up to trigger also on mobile, the design is already responsive. You can even use your own static block if you want as we made sure to include this possibility in order to allow merchants complete flexibility.

Popup Lifetime is a smart one. You don't want to hassle your customers so we have an option for popup lifetime. Once the customer closes the popup it will not show up for a while. The good news is that with this extension you can configure the lifetime period of the popup in order to match your brand identity and marketing strategy.

Newsletter will trigger on "Exit Intent". We have integrated a smart functionality that detects when the visitor is going to leave your store. That is a perfect moment to ask for staying in touch. We made sure you can use a different popup for for the exit intent newsletter popup as the message you show might be different than the one you may show to the user while browsing your store.

Trigger newsletter with custom button. In some cases you may want to show a button on your website, and when clicked to trigger the newsletter popup. You have it out of the box in this extension, just set it up with the right message and let the customers choose by themselves when they want to signup.



With our extension we took the default newsletter popup functionality and enhanced it with the most conversion oriented functionality:

  • Page level display - option to display popup only on homepage or on all other pages.
  • Well Timed Display - Using time delay triggers will increase newsletter engagement rate.
  • Display after a specific number of visited pages - allow user to engage with your website before asking for a subscription will increase the subscription rate.
  • Show only on Desktop or both Desktop and Mobile.
  • Popup Lifetime - dont's hassle your customers. Popup will not be opened again until the Popup Lifetime period expires.
  • Select action that disables newsletter popup - From close button vs. Close button or click outside popup window.
  • GDPR Compliant with native Magento cookie accept - if not accepted the newsletter will not show up.
  • GDPR Compliant - enable disable terms and conditions consent. Customize GDPR text/link.
  • GDPR checkbox - enable or disable if the checkbox is mandatory.
  • Integration with Google Analytics Tag Manager - track event impressions and event success signup. (PRO version)
  • 4 designs both desktop and mobile. Possibility to choose a different design for mobile version. (PRO version)
  • Detect exit intent and show popup. (PRO version) -The exit intent trigger tracks your customers mouse movement. As soon as it detects the intent of leaving your store, the exit intent popup will be initiated. This is very useful for capturing people’s information before they abandon their cart or leave your site.
  • Multistep signup process. Step 1: Question, Step 2:Popup. Ex: Want 10% discount? [Yes/No] > If Yes > Newsletter Popup (PRO version)
  • Trigger popup with custom button functionality. (PRO version) -It happens to us often that we accidentally close the popup notification and we miss out on that magical discount. It doesn’t just happen to you, it often happens to your customers as well. Now you are able to re-trigger the popup box by simply clicking on the newsletter trigger button. This is a great way to engage with your customers without disturbing their journey and experience on your website.
  • Integrate with the Social Login PRO extension. (PRO version) - Allow users to effortlessly Sign Up or Log In with their Social Media accounts directly from the Newsletter Popup via the Social Login PRO extension.
Well Timed Display and Popup Lifetime. weltpixel


Timing is key, don’t just stick to show the popup to all your customers as soon as they land on the page. Allow them to breath a bit, to engage with your website, to get more familiar.

Using time delay triggers you can control the timing of your offers and engage with your customers only after they get more comfortable with your website. You can select how many pages they should interact with and how much time they should spend before you engage with them.

Popup lifetime allows you to provide a better signup experience to your visitors, if they close the newsletter popup it will not show up again until the lifetimes expires. This will help to avoid cumtomer hassle and only display the signup form at the best appropriate moment.

Page Level Display and visited pages trigger. weltpixel


Target where you would like to display the popup message. You now have the option to select to display the popup on the Homepage only or on All pages. Fine tune your offers to make them more relevant.

Also, you can choose to let your customers engage with your website, to get more familiar and only display the newsletter popup after a specific number of visited pages - vizited pages trigger. We all know that the first instinct when you see a popup on the landing page the immediate instinct is to close it and engage with the content. This kind of option showed great results in subscription conversion compared with instant popup behaviour.

Display on Mobile, Desktop or Both. weltpixel


Mobile friendliness is vital these days. Make sure that you offer the best mobile friendly experience. People on the go need the information fast and easily accessible. Our popup is not just fully responsive but also allows for you to choose to display on mobile devices or not. Make sure you A/B test what works best for you and your customers.

GDPR Compliance. weltpixel


Add a checkbox to take user consent. You can set this field as required or not required to save the data only when the user has given his consent.

Disclose Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy. It is important to let the users know where and why they are giving consent. This is the reason you need to link to the terms and conditions page or the privacy policy page through the opt-in form.

Google Analytics GTM Compatibility. (PRO Version) weltpixel


Track the number of newsletter popup impressions and the success signup events. This will help you identify if your newsletter message is reaching your customers or not. Maybe you need to optimize your newsletter compaign with A/B testing by following the results measured by Google Analytics.

Google Analytics Enhanced Ecommerce UA GTM Tracking Extension needs to be installed as a separate extension and and configured by following the product documentation. It will integrate with the newsletter functionality letting you know the signup conversion rate so you'll be able to test and identify the best message or campaign to reach your audience.

Integration with the Social Login PRO extension. weltpixel


Would you like to capture more customer information than just a simple email address? Now you can use the Social Media Login feature in conjunction with the Newsletter Popup. This integration allows you to have a customer account created instantly and capture their First and Last Name as well as their email address. As all Social Media Accounts are linked to a valid email address you will be able to avoid capturing invalid email addresses, allowing you to have a clean and better performing email list.

You have the option of activating the Social Media Login feature, with which you can provide your customers the option of using their favorite Social Media Accounts to Sign Up or Log In to your Magento 2 store. There is a high amount of flexibility with regards to where you can choose to present this option, be it on the initial Popup, on the Exit Intent Popup, or on both.

You can replace the traditional Email Sign Up method, or keep it and use it in conjunction with the Social Media Login method, which ensures a high degree of UX variety and reduced friction.

How to configure the multistep experience.

    The multistep experience is essential when testing conversion rate optimization.

    • The first step is often used to enhance the customer’s need for a discount or offer without asking anything at this point in return.

      This step has a very simple and direct message. The design can be kept simple and clean.

    • The second step focuses on gathering the data that you need. This step will contain the newsletter subscription form along with GDPR compliance message.

  • To enable the multistep experience, simply select the Two Steps option under Signup Steps.
  • You will now have options to configure the label for each button or if you would like it enabled or disabled.

    The content is easily customizable, for each step, simply go to: Content -> Blocks and search for Newsletter

    Depending on your design you will have two blocks for each step. For example:

    • WeltPixel Newsletter V2 Step 1 -> will represent the first step without a newsletter subscribe form.
    • WeltPixel Newsletter V2 Form -> will represent the step that contains the newsletter subscribe form, also in a single step experience this will be the block that you would like to customize.

    In this example, we've used design Version 2. If you're using a different design Version, make sure you search for the block that corresponds to it.

How to enable the exit intent popup

    To enable the exit intent popup, simply go to:

    Newsletter Settings -> Exit Intent -> Enable Exit Intent -> Yes

    The customization options are very similar to the newsletter popup. Select which design option you would like, behaviour, design and styling as well as user experience.

    You can select if you would like the user's experience to be single or multistep. The content can be fully customized for every design in the Content -> Block section by simply searching for the weltpixel_exitintent_newsletter identifier.

    Same as for the newsletter popup, you will have two blocks for each design; here, you can fully customize the content of your blocks.

How to enable Google Tag Manager Tracking.

    Analyzing your data is a must in optimizing the conversion rate of your newsletter popup or exit intent. The amount of subscribers that you can have can vary even more then 100% based on the timing, design and CTA that you have.

    This feature will allow you to track event impressions and event successful signups.

    To enable GTM tracking, installation and setup of Google Analytics Enhanced Ecommerce PRO Extension is required prior to this configuration. You'll need to use the PRO version of the extension as the free version of Enhanced Ecommerce GTM does not include this functionality.

    • Simply go to WeltPixel -> Newsletter Settings -> Enable Google Tag Manager Tracking -> Yes

    • Then head to WeltPixel -> Google Analytics Enhanced Ecommerce Pro -> Sign in to Google -> click Setup Variables, Triggers, and Tags.

    This action will create the all the tags and triggers necessary.

    Now go to your Google Tag Manager dashboard, and under Tags and Triggers you will find all the tags and triggers newly created.

    Now that all your tags are created, click on the Publish button in the top right hand side corner.

    After a few days of data collection, you will be able to see a detailed report in Google Analytics by going to Behavior -> Top Events -> search for Newsletter Popup or Exit Intent.

    For more information on Enhanced Ecommerce GTM configuration, please follow the instructions on the GTM user guide, in order to set up your Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics Account.
