Context

Popups

Theme retirement | Context is no longer available on the Shopify theme store. Theme support and updates for current users will end after May 18, 2024. Learn more here.

The Popup section was updated and the Age Verification popup was added in v5.3.0 on Oct 27, 2022. See our change log and Theme update guide to learn more.

The Sign up popup encourages customers to add their email to your newsletter. Context looks for "exit intent" of customers, so if they open a new tab or if their mouse accelerates to leave, the popup will appear.

Signup forms are also available in the Newsletter and Footer sections.

Note | Newsletter subscribers are added to your "accepts marketing" Customers list. You can learn more in Shopify's guides to Email subscriber list management and Using Shopify Email for email marketing article.
