📖 How to Create WooCommerce-Triggered Popups with Instant Popup Builder

With the Instant Popup Builder WooCommerce Extension, you can create popups specifically for your WooCommerce products with various display rules and triggers. The Instant Popup – WooCommerce extension adds WooCommerce-specific triggers and display conditions to the Instant Popup Builder plugin, enabling you to show highly targeted popups based on your customers’ shopping activity.

Whether you want to upsell products, show special offers, encourage cart completion, or display personalized promotions, this extension helps you deliver the right message at the perfect moment.

Display Conditions (Is / Is Not):

To create a new popup, go to Instant Popup > Add New and select a popup type from the available options, such as image or text popup. Then, in the Popup settings, if WooCommerce is installed, navigate to General > Display and click the dropdown menu. You will see the WooCommerce option. Select WooCommerce as a display condition. This allows the user to set up the popup for a specific product, all products, or based on product categories. You have the following options.

• • All Products
  • Archive Products
  • Selected Products
  • Product Categories
• AJAX-Powered Selectors for quick product and category selection
• Performance Optimized – Uses standard WooCommerce hooks and fragments for real-time updates without extra load
• Translation Ready for multilingual stores

Triggers

Once you set up the display conditions, you can choose what should trigger a popup. Under the General tab, click on the Trigger tab. You can keep it on load and apply a delay, or select other triggers such as exit intent, inactivity, AdBlock, etc., or choose WooCommerce-specific triggers. You can decide what should trigger a pop-up when a user is on the shop page.
