How to Add Exit-Intent Popups to WooCommerce (No Code Needed)

Running a WooCommerce store? Then you’ve probably faced this frustrating reality:

Visitors browse, add items to cart… and leave.

According to recent studies, more than 70% of online shoppers abandon their carts — and WooCommerce is no exception.

So how do you stop it?

One of the simplest, most effective strategies is to use an exit-intent popup — a small offer that appears just when the user is about to leave your website.

Why Exit-Intent Popups Work

Exit-intent technology detects when a visitor is about to leave your WooCommerce store and shows a targeted message — like a discount, free shipping offer, or limited-time deal.

It works because it adds:

  • 🔥 1. Urgency
  • 🎁 2. Incentive
  • 🧲 3. Re-engagement

Instead of leaving empty-handed, many users decide to stay and complete the checkout.

The Problem with Most Popup Plugins

Many WooCommerce popup plugins are:

  • ❌ Hard to install
  • ❌ Require coding or theme edits
  • ❌ Too bloated with features you don’t need

If you just want a simple popup that offers a discount when someone tries to leave, you don’t need a heavy plugin.
