## How the Newsletter Popup section works
The Newsletter Popup displays a modal overlay:

* Mobile responsive design
## Getting started
From Shopify admin, access the Theme Customizer.
This section is typically added to your theme's global sections.
Set heading, text, and optional image.
Adjust delay to control when popup appears (recommend 10-15 seconds).
## Section settings
### Show newsletter after
Controls when the popup appears after page load.
**Range:** 4 – 30 seconds
**Default:** 10 seconds
Setting the delay too short (\< 8 seconds) may interrupt users before they engage with your content.
A delay of 10-15 seconds balances user experience with conversion opportunity.
### Image
Optional image displayed in the popup.
* Shopify image picker
* Displays on left side (desktop)
* Renders at 550px width
Use brand imagery or product visuals that support your newsletter value proposition.
### Heading
Main heading text for the popup.
* Inline rich text supported
* **Default:** "Newsletter heading here"
### Heading size
Controls the size of heading text.
**Available options:** XS, S, M, L, XL
**Default:** L
### Text
Descriptive text below heading.
* Rich text supported (paragraphs, formatting)
* **Default:** "An example subheading for new subscribers."
Keep text brief (1-2 sentences) to maintain focus on the signup form.
### Button close label
Text for the close/dismiss link.
* **Default:** "No thanks"
Use friendly language that doesn't pressure users. "No thanks" or "Maybe later" work well.
### Show newsletter popup in customizer
Controls whether popup displays in Theme Customizer.
**Options:** True / False
**Default:** False
Enable this temporarily to preview and style your popup without waiting for the delay.
### Color scheme
Controls background and text colors for the popup.
* Shopify color scheme selector
* **Default:** Scheme 1
Ensure your color scheme provides sufficient contrast for readability and accessibility.
## Newsletter form
The popup includes an integrated newsletter signup form:
* **Email input field** - Standard email validation
* **Submit button** - Label from theme translations
* **Form handling** - Integrates with Shopify customer accounts
* **Error messaging** - Displays validation errors
* **Success state** - Shows confirmation message
## Best practices
* Set delay to 10-15 seconds to allow users to engage with page content first
* Keep heading concise and value-focused - emphasize benefits like "Get 10% off" or "Exclusive access"
* Use high-quality brand imagery that supports your value proposition
* Make close button text friendly and non-pushy - "No thanks" or "Maybe later" work well
* Enable "Show in customizer" temporarily for testing appearance without waiting
* Avoid very short delays (\< 8 seconds) that interrupt users immediately
* Test with different color schemes to ensure popup stands out but doesn't clash
* Keep descriptive text brief - one or two sentences maximum for quick scanning
* Ensure color scheme provides strong contrast for text readability and accessibility
* Consider A/B testing different delays, headlines, and images to optimize conversion
