Popup
This guide describes setting up a Popup section to display a small temporary window over your store's pages. The popup is typically used to contain promotional and advertising messages for your store's visitors.
In the following video, a popup section appears in the lower right corner of a store's artists page. The section is displayed after the page has finished loading, and it contains a form for subscribing to the store's newsletter.
For general guidance with modifying sections, refer to Sections overview.
