Teasers
Invite shoppers to open a form with a small bubble or banner instead of showing the whole thing.
A teaser is a small, clickable prompt that invites shoppers to open the form instead of showing the whole thing immediately — a gentler entry point that keeps the storefront uncluttered. All four display modes support one.
A teaser is also where a closed form can go: rather than disappearing for the rest of the visit, a dismissed form can shrink back to its teaser so the shopper can reopen it later.
One coherence rule: a form whose trigger is On click (launcher) can't have a teaser — the launcher is its entry point, so the Enable teaser toggle is locked while that trigger is selected.
Set up a teaser
Teasers live in the Teaser tab of the Settings sheet, opened from the builder's title bar:
- Enable teaser — turn the teaser on.
- Quick presets — one-click starting points: Bottom-left bubble, Top banner, or Bottom banner.
- Mode — Bubble (a floating pill anchored to a corner or edge) or Banner (a full-width bar across the top or bottom of the page).
- Edge — for Banner mode, Top or Bottom.
- Position — for Bubble mode, one of eight anchors (Top Left, Center Left, Bottom Left, Top, Bottom, Top Right, Center Right, Bottom Right).
- Initial display — Start open (the full form shows first) or Start as teaser (only the teaser shows until clicked).
- Teaser text — Use first visible heading, or Custom text (e.g. "Get 10% off").
- Background color and Text color — inherit your theme by default; pick a value to override, and Reset to theme colors to go back.
- When dismissed and Allow full close — see when a shopper dismisses the form below.
Mobile vs. desktop
The location controls have Mobile and Desktop tabs. Mode, Edge, Position, and Initial display can each be set differently per screen — for example, a top banner on mobile (where it won't clash with cart drawers) and a corner bubble on desktop. Mobile is the base; the Desktop tab writes overrides, with a Reset to mobile defaults link to clear them.
When a shopper dismisses the form
Two settings on the Teaser tab decide what the close button does:
- When dismissed — Collapse to teaser shrinks the form back to its teaser so the shopper can reopen it later; Hide completely removes both form and teaser for the rest of the visit.
- Allow full close — gives the teaser its own close control, so a shopper can dismiss the teaser entirely even when the form collapses to it.
Two consequences worth knowing:
- Closing a teaser with Allow full close is a true end state, so a form set to Until form completed stops showing after it.
- An inline form that a shopper dismisses collapses to the same floating teaser popups use.
