Setting Up a Quiz as a Popup
In addition to embedding a quiz directly on a page, you can configure a quiz to appear as a popup overlay on your store. The popup appears on top of the page content without the customer needing to navigate to a dedicated quiz page.
What Popup Mode Is
Popup mode displays the quiz in a floating overlay window that appears over your store pages. Unlike an embedded quiz — which is always visible in the page where it is placed — the popup:
Appears automatically based on trigger conditions you define
Can be shown on a specific page or across all pages
Can be dismissed by the customer
Can be enabled or disabled from the app at any time
This makes it useful for proactively engaging customers who have not sought out the quiz themselves.
How Popup Differs from an Embedded Quiz
Embedded Quiz | Popup Quiz | |
|---|---|---|
Placement | Fixed on a specific page section | Floating overlay on top of the page |
Trigger | Always visible when the page loads | Triggered by a delay after page load |
Customer intent | Customer seeks it out on the page | Proactively shown to the customer |
Best for | Dedicated quiz pages, product pages | Engaging all visitors, lead capture |
How to Access Popup Settings
Popup settings are configured inside the individual quiz, not in the global app settings.
From Quizify, open the quiz you want to display as a popup
Click Edit Quiz
Go to the Publish tab
Scroll down to find the Popup Quiz section
All popup configuration options are located here.
Popup Settings Overview
Inside the Popup Quiz section, you will find the following settings:
Show Popup — A checkbox to enable or disable the popup. Uncheck this to hide the popup without deleting your settings.
Select Page — Choose whether the popup appears on all pages of your store or on a specific page only.
Delay — Control whether the popup appears immediately when the page loads or after a set delay.
Frequency — Control how often the same visitor sees the popup — either never showing it again after the first view, or showing it again after a specified amount of time.
Installing the Popup Code
After you configure and save your popup settings, Quizify generates a code snippet.
Save your popup settings
Copy the code snippet shown in the Popup Quiz section
Open your Shopify admin and go to Online Store > Themes
Click Actions > Edit Code on your active theme
Find the
theme.liquidfilePaste the code snippet just before the closing
</body>tagSave the file
The popup will not appear on your store until this code has been added to theme.liquid. If you are not comfortable editing theme code, ask your theme developer or a Shopify Expert to add it for you.
Enabling and Disabling the Popup
You can turn the popup on or off at any time without removing the code from your theme.
Open the quiz in Quizify and click Edit Quiz
Go to the Publish tab and open the Popup Quiz section
Check or uncheck the Show Popup checkbox
Save
When unchecked, the popup will not appear on your store even though the code remains in your theme.
