Popups

Popups are small windows that appear on your website. They can be set to appear when clicked as a link, or automatically via a personalization rule. Use popups to grab attention or share information without changing pages.

Step 1: Set up a popup

1. Log into Corksy.

2. Go to Online Store → Customize.

3. In the side panel, click Pages, then the Popups tab.

4. Click + New Popup.

5. Select a popup type (this pre-populates it with widgets), name it, and click + Add Popup.

Step 2: Design the popup

Add elements like text (“Join the Wine Club for 15% Off”), images, and CTA buttons (“Book Now,” “Subscribe”). Link buttons to pages or external forms.

Step 3: Activate the popup

Unlike a normal page, a popup only appears when it’s clicked as a link or triggered by a personalization rule. Popup triggers occur only once per session (a session stays active until at least 30–60 minutes have passed).

How to link to a popup

Several widgets can link to a popup (photo gallery image links, text, buttons):

1. Right-click the widget and select Edit content (or, for text, highlight it and click the link icon).

2. Click Popup, then choose which popup to link to.

How to add a close element

By default, the X button closes a popup. You can also add a “Close popup” link to any linkable element — for example, a “No thanks” button on a coupon popup. Click a linkable element in the popup and select Close Popup as the link.

How to edit a popup and its settings

A popup edits like a page — add rows, columns, and widgets; drag the bottom-right corner to resize. For settings, go to Pages → Popups tab and click the gear icon on a popup to Rename, Duplicate, or Delete it.

Best practices

• Keep it focused: one clear goal per popup.

• Design for mobile: always preview on mobile.

• Avoid popup fatigue: limit frequency.

• Use urgency where appropriate, and review performance to optimize.
