Exit Intent Popup for Shopify

Catch visitors the moment they are about to leave — here's how exit intent works and what to use today.

✅ Available now. Exit intent popups are already available in Pop Up Discount by MITS. You can also build email, discount, SMS, and lead generation popups.

An exit intent popup appears exactly when a shopper is about to leave your Shopify store — giving you one last chance to keep them. Instead of losing the visitor forever, you show a discount code, a special offer, or an email signup form that convinces them to stay.

How exit intent popups work (3 steps)

  1. Track behaviour. The popup watches for the signals that a visitor is leaving — on desktop the cursor moving toward the browser tab or back button, and rapid upward scrolling on mobile.
  2. Trigger at the right moment. As those signals fire, the popup appears instantly — before the shopper closes the tab.
  3. Convert. The visitor gets a compelling reason to stay: a coupon, a giveaway, or a newsletter offer that captures their email.

What to show in an exit intent popup

  • A discount code — "Wait! Here's 10% off your first order."
  • Email capture — grow your list so you can win the customer back later even if they don't buy today.
  • A special offer — a reason to complete the purchase now.

Why exit intent boosts conversions

The majority of people who visit an online store leave without buying. Exit intent technology re-engages that traffic you already paid for, instead of watching it disappear. A well-timed offer at the exit moment can recover a meaningful share of otherwise-lost visitors and add them to your marketing list.
