Spark has two types of Popups: Promo popup (with optional newsletter sign-up) and Age Verification. Customize your popups with custom colors, images, and promotional text.
Promo (Sign Up)
The regular Popup can be used for promotions as well as a newsletter signup.
Click the arrow next to the Popup section to show the nested content blocks.
Click (+) Add block and select Popup.
Click the new Popup block to open the settings.
Content
Customize the headings and text content of your Popup.
STEPS
In your theme editor (Customize):
Enter Heading text for the title of your popup.
We recommend a short title of a few words.
Set the Heading Size to Small, Medium, or Large.
Enter Subheading text to display below the heading.
Add a few sentences to tell customers about a promotion or other information.
Background and Color
Design your popup with custom colors, images, and content layout.
STEPS
In your theme editor (Customize):
(Optional.) Click Select image to choose an uploaded image for the popup background.
There are no required image dimensions or orientation.
(Optional.) If you have added an image, select an Image position (Top, Center, or Bottom) to change what part of your image appears.
Change and match the Text, Button text, and Button background.
Click on the color swatch to use the color selector or add a hexcode. Use the Currently used colors to ensure a perfect match with your other site colors.
(Optional.) Select an Overlay color to display overtop of the image and adjust the Overlay opacity using the slider.
The Overlay lets you control the brightness and tone of images. Use this setting to balance it with other images and to increase contrast with headings so they're readable.
Set the opacity to 0% to turn off the overlay color; set it to 100% to create a solid color block with no image.
(Optional.) Click the Overlay gradient option to add a color overlay that fades across a range of hues.
You can choose the style, angle, position, and opacity of the gradient. See Shopify's color gradient guide ↗ to learn more
Click Save.
