YITH WooCommerce Popup is the product-highlight popup: timed or exit-triggered windows showcasing products – recently viewed, on-sale items, featured picks, or specific selections – keeping the popup commerce-focused rather than the generic email-capture pattern most popups serve. The exit-intent case is the classic: a leaving visitor meets a last-chance product display instead of a blank tab close – one more impression at the moment of highest loss risk. Content sources (dynamic queries or curated lists) drive the popup, with display timing, frequency caps, and design control keeping the interruption tolerable. Against popup platforms like Popup Maker (general popup engine) and OptinMonster (conversion intelligence), this plugin owns the WooCommerce-product-specific popup niche – smaller scope, zero configuration depth needed.
The 1.5x-1.60.0 line tracks WooCommerce compatibility at YITH’s cadence. For stores wanting product-driven popups without a platform, it’s the focused tool.

Frequently Asked Questions
What products appear in the popup?
Dynamic sources (recently viewed, on-sale, featured) populate automatically, or curated selections fill the window manually – the popup content matching your merchandising moment.
When does the popup appear?
Configurable triggers: timed delays after page load, exit-intent detection, or scroll thresholds – with frequency caps preventing repeat annoyance in one session.
Can visitors buy from the popup?
Yes – in-popup add-to-cart lets the showcase convert directly, without navigating away from wherever the visitor was.
Does it remember dismissed popups?
Yes – dismissal memory keeps closed popups down for configurable periods, the courtesy that separates tolerable popups from hated ones.
How is this different from a popup platform?
Niche versus engine: this plugin showcases WooCommerce products with basic triggers; platforms like Popup Maker build entire popup strategies with layered targeting. Quick product windows pick YITH; popup programs pick the platform.
