    • Offer a coupon — bring attention to coupons you're offering to encourage online sales (Square Online Plus or Premium required).

    • Note: Be sure to create a coupon before adding a coupon pop-up. Learn more about creating discounts and coupons for Square Online items.

    • Verify age — prevent minors from accessing your site.

    For pop-ups, you can customize:

    • Title and text

    • Form fields

    • Action buttons

    • Background color

    Before you begin

    You can create pop-ups from your Square Dashboard. 

    The pop-up editor is separate from the site editor for your Square Online site. This editor has a similar interface where you see all of your editing options and settings in the editing panel, as well as a preview of what the live pop-up looks like. Available settings vary depending on which style of pop-up you’re creating.

    To add a coupon pop-up, make sure you already created a coupon. Learn how to create discounts and coupons for Square Online items.

    Create a pop-up

    You can add a pop-up to your Square Online site from your Square Dashboard.

    • Choose your pop-up type to open the pop-up editor. 

    • Go to Style and Content and Settings in the editing panel to customize the pop-up. You can also use the buttons at the top of the editor to see how it displays on mobile or check out the confirmation message

    Build and customize your pop-up and select Publish to see your changes live. Publishing your pop-up also publishes your website.

    For the age verification pop-up, Square does not provide any guarantee, assurances, or warranty that our services are compliant with any applicable age verification laws. Read the full disclaimer in your Square Dashboard before you add an age verification pop-up to your website.
