Add Pop-ups and Banners to Your Square Online Site
Note: Using certain pop-ups requires an upgrade on your Square Online site.
Pop-ups are a great way to catch the attention of your visitors when they view your website. Use them to make an announcement, verify age, offer a voucher to new signups or simply build up your mailing list.
Create a Pop-up
To add a pop-up to your Square Online site:
In your Square Online Overview page, go to Communications > Pop-ups.
Choose your pop-up type and select the button to open the pop-up editor. You can customise the pop-up’s style and content, as well as edit settings such as display frequency or scheduling.
Build and customise your pop-up and select Publish to see your changes live. Publishing your pop-up will also publish your website.
Pop-up Types
| Pop-up | Description |
| Collect email addresses | Collect email addresses from your customers to add them to your mailing list. |
| Offer a voucher | Bring attention to vouchers you’re offering to encourage online sales (upgrade required).
Note: Be sure to create a voucher before adding a voucher pop-up. Learn more about creating discounts and vouchers for Square Online items. |
| Make an announcement | Share important news or updates. |
| Verify age | Prevent minors from accessing your site.
Note: For the age verification pop-up, we do not provide any guarantee, assurances or warranty that our services are compliant with any applicable age verification laws. Read the full disclaimer before you add an age verification pop-up to your website. |
Note: Settings will vary depending on which style of pop-up you’re creating.
Navigate the Pop-up Editor
The pop-up editor is separate from the site editor for your Square Online site. This editor has a similar interface where you’ll see all of your editing options and settings in the editing panel, as well as a preview of what the live pop-up will look like.
Style and content
Use the Style and Content tab in the editing panel to customise the pop-up for your needs. Settings available will vary depending on which style of pop-up you’re creating. You can use the buttons at the top of the editor to see how it displays on mobile or check out the confirmation message.
