You can customize the colors, font, images, and everything else about your template.

Let’s have a look at how the editor works.

OptinMonster’s templates are made up of blocks. You can change any block by clicking on it. That will pull up the editing tools on the left.

Here’s an example of how easy it is to edit your templates.

For example, click on the text box to change the text.

That will make the editing tools appear on the left. Now, you can adjust the color, size, font, and alignment of your text.

Add blocks

From here, you can add new blocks, like:

  • Countdown timer
  • Button
  • Image
  • Text
  • Video
  • ChatBot

When you’ve found the block you want to add, drag and drop it onto your popup.

Now, if you’re offering a coupon code or discount, there are different ways you can deliver that offer.

One option is to share the code with your subscriber using OptinMonster’s Success view. This screen will appear after your visitor has successfully completed your optin form.

You can edit this screen in the same way.

Now, it’s time to decide where and when your popup will appear on your site.

Step 3:  Display Your 3dcart Popup

OptinMonster makes it easy for you to show the right offer to the right customer.

We do this with triggers and targeting.

Triggers detect your site visitor’s behavior to display the right campaign to the right person.

Examples of triggers:

  • Exit-Intent: A popup will trigger when your visitor tries to leave your site
  • Scroll box: A popup will be shown after someone has scrolled a certain percentage of the page
  • 2-step optin: Once your visitor clicks on an image or link, a popup will show up

Targeting lets you show campaigns based on:

  • The visitor’s physical location
  • What website the visitor is coming from
  • The device the visitor is using

Today, we’ll look at two powerful display rules, Exit Intent® and Page Targeting.

Exit Intent®

Did you know 70% of visitors leave your site without taking any action?

An exit popup can address that issue. Exit-intent technology detects when your visitor is about to abandon your site. Then, it shows them your best offer to convert them into subscribers.

Scott Wyden Imagery reduced cart abandonment displaying his popup on his cart and checkout pages. Using exit intent, Scott was able to recover 21% of abandoned carts and 2x his email list:

Head over to Display Rules.

OptinMonster display rules

Find and select Exit Intent®.

OptinMonster Exit Intent Display Rule

Choose on which device you want to display your popup.

Exit Intent Choose All Devices

Next, choose the sensitivity level.

On mobile, the sensitivity level will change the popup trigger. Low and Medium will trigger when the visitor scrolls up the page. High sensitivity will create a back button trigger.

Finally, choose which page to display your popup.

We’ll use the Page Targeting rule to show our 3dcart popup only on our highest converting pages:

Step 4: Integrate OptinMonster and 3dcart

You’ll only need to copy and paste an embed code.

Head over to Publish.
