Getting Started
Your first Wix popup in minutes
A step-by-step guide to installing Popup Wizard on Wix and launching a relevant popup campaign from your dashboard with AI or the manual builder.
Install Popup Wizard from the Wix App Market
Open the Wix App Market and search for Popup Wizard, or click the link below. Click Add to Site and approve the permissions. The app is added to your Wix dashboard instantly — no code or custom development required.
Popup Wizard works with all Wix site types including eCommerce, portfolios, and service sites.
Open the Popup Wizard dashboard
After installation, go to your Wix dashboard and click Popup Wizard in the left sidebar under Apps. This is where you manage all your popup campaigns.
Bookmark the dashboard link so you can get back to it quickly when running campaigns.
Create your first campaign
Click New Campaign and choose a goal — email capture, discount code, announcement, or banner. Choose the AI path to draft a layout, headline, body copy, and call-to-action from a prompt, or use the manual builder to write the content yourself.
Use AI for a first draft; choose the manual bar or modal builder when you already know the message and layout you want.
Writing a good prompt
Include these four things for the best results:
- →Goal — what should the popup accomplish?
- →Layout — centered card, two-column, portrait image?
- →CTA — what should the button say?
- →Behavior — what happens after the click?
Example prompt
“Create a centered popup for a Wix ecommerce site promoting this week’s specials. Use a tall portrait-style image layout, headline ‘This Week’s Specials’, subheadline ‘New specials every Wednesday’, and add a ‘View Full Menu’ button.”

Use the editor to adjust your campaign’s copy, colors, button styling, and image/content position so it matches your Wix site. Changes preview before you save.
Match the popup background to your site’s hero section color for a seamless branded feel.
Set targeting rules
Choose which pages show your popup: all pages, specific URLs, or URL patterns. Filter by device (desktop, mobile, tablet), UTM campaign parameter, or query string — so the right visitors see the right message.
For a promotional campaign, target only the pages where the offer is relevant rather than showing it sitewide.
Configure timing and frequency
Set a delay (e.g. show after 5 seconds) and a frequency rule (e.g. once per session, once per day, or once per visitor). This prevents popup fatigue while keeping your campaigns active.
For email capture, “once per visitor” is the standard setting — show it once and respect the dismiss.
Publish and monitor
Hit Publish. Your popup goes live on your Wix site immediately. Head to the Analytics tab to track impressions, clicks, and conversions in real time. Use the data to compare campaigns and improve performance over time.
Give each campaign at least 200 impressions before drawing conclusions about its conversion rate.
