Popup signup form

Email Marketing

A popup form is a signup form that appears over a web page, often after a delay, on scroll or on exit, to collect email addresses or phone numbers.

## What is Popup form?

Popups are the biggest list-growth tool for most stores. Common versions: a **timed** popup after a few seconds, **exit-intent** when the cursor heads for the tab bar, and a **teaser** tab that opens the form on click. **Good popups** offer a clear reason (a first-order discount, early access), ask for as little as possible, and don't block mobile shoppers. Collect texting consent with its own wording. **In SmartyTap,** you can build popup and embedded forms that collect email and SMS consent and feed segments and the welcome flow.

## Example

After 8 seconds, a popup offers 10% off the first order for an email, then asks for a phone number on a second step with texting consent.

## Why Popup form Matters

Most visitors leave without buying; a popup turns some of them into people you can reach again.
