the problem
Why do so many popups lose customers instead of winning them?
Because they open as soon as you land, cover the cookie banner, take over the whole smartphone screen and load scripts and images on every page, even when they don’t appear. Promo Popups does the opposite: it waits for the right moment, respects consent, opens from the bottom on smartphones and weighs nothing until it appears.
how it works
How does Promo Popups work?
- Three campaign types: information (title, text, image and button), a discount code to copy in one click, newsletter sign-up.
- Code linked to a voucher from Cart Rules: if the voucher expires, is disabled or used up, the popup disappears by itself.
- Countdown to the end of the promotion, with the end date written out in full.
- When it opens: after a few seconds, after part of the page has been scrolled or when the visitor is about to leave (on desktop). On smartphones it waits at least 10 seconds.
- Where and for whom: all pages or only home, categories, product pages and CMS pages; desktop or smartphone; everyone, only visitors who aren’t logged in or only those not subscribed to the newsletter.
- How often: once per session, at most every N days or until it’s closed. Anyone who signed up or clicked the button won’t see it again.
- One popup per page: with several campaigns, the one with the highest priority wins. Cart, checkout, login and 404 pages are always excluded.
- Statistics and preview: views, closes, clicks, copied codes and sign-ups per campaign; preview on desktop and smartphone before switching it on.
newsletter and privacy
How does newsletter sign-up from the popup work?
Sign-up goes through PrestaShop’s newsletter module, with its confirmation email and welcome voucher if you’ve switched them on. The privacy consent checkbox is mandatory and, if you use PrestaShop’s GDPR module, the consent is stored in its log.
- The welcome code appears in the popup only if sign-up is confirmed immediately; with email verification it arrives after confirmation.
- An email address that’s already subscribed gets the newsletter module’s message, with no second sign-up.
- Spam protection: a honeypot field and at most 10 attempts an hour from the same device, without storing the IP address in clear.
speed and accessibility
Does the popup slow the shop down or make it less accessible?
No. Until the popup appears, the page contains neither its CSS nor its images; the script, 2.1 KB compressed, loads only on pages with an active campaign. So it doesn’t affect LCP and CLS.
The popup is a native browser dialog: Esc or the “Close” button close it and focus goes back where it was. Screen readers don’t read the countdown every second but do announce the code-copied confirmation, and animations run only if the visitor hasn’t asked to reduce motion.
compatibility
Which shops does Promo Popups work on?
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| PrestaShop | 9.0 and later 9.x versions (verified on 9.1.5 and 9.2.0) |
| PHP | 8.1 or later |
| Theme | Flag Theme or any other: with a different theme the module uses its fallback style |
| Newsletter | Requires PrestaShop’s newsletter module (ps_emailsubscription), included in standard installations |
| With a theme other than Flag Theme | The popup waits for Flag’s cookie banner and for open windows; it doesn’t recognise banners from other platforms (iubenda, Cookiebot), so set a delay. The popup’s colours may need a tweak |
| What it doesn’t do | It isn’t an email marketing service: sign-ups go to PrestaShop’s newsletter |
| Technical name | flagpromopopup |
Do you also need a cookie banner that follows the Italian Data Protection Authority’s guidelines? Take a look at Cookie Consent: with its banner, the popup always knows when to wait.

faq
Frequently asked questions about PrestaShop popups
Does it work if I don’t use Flag Theme?
Yes, on PrestaShop 9 it works with any theme: it hooks into a standard PrestaShop position and brings its own fallback style, which may need a few colour tweaks with another theme. With Flag Theme it picks up the shop’s colours, fonts and corner rounding by itself.
Does the popup cover the cookie banner?
No. Before opening it waits until the visitor has made a choice on Flag’s cookie banner and no other window is open. It doesn’t recognise banners from external platforms such as iubenda or Cookiebot: in that case, set a delay of a few seconds.
Does Google penalise popups on smartphones?
Google penalises popups that cover the content as soon as someone lands on a page from a smartphone. On smartphones Promo Popups waits at least 10 seconds (you choose the minimum), opens as a bottom panel no taller than three quarters of the screen and, instead of exit intent, uses scrolling halfway down the page.
Does the module create the discount code?
No: you type it or pick a voucher you’ve already created in Cart Rules. If you link the voucher, the popup follows its status: it disappears if the voucher is disabled, expired or used up, and its expiry date becomes the end of the countdown.
Does the popup need cookie consent?
No: the popup only remembers in the browser when it was seen, closed or used, with no personal data and no identifiers, so it isn’t shown again to someone who has closed it. It’s a technical tool that doesn’t require consent. The statistics are also counters without cookies or IP addresses. Your lawyer should still check the wording of your privacy notice.
How do I know whether a campaign works?
In the back office every campaign has its own statistics: views, closes, button clicks, copied codes and newsletter sign-ups, with rates. You can also duplicate a campaign, reset its statistics and preview it on desktop and smartphone before switching it on.
