With **Enable Plugin** on (the default), add to cart, coupon and checkout messages open in a pop-up. The general options on this screen are free. ![WooCommerce notice shown as a pop-up on the storefront](https://wpfactory.com/wp-content/uploads/pasted-image-0-61.png) ## Where the settings live Go to **WPFactory > Popups** (also reachable at **WooCommerce > Settings > Pop-up Notices**). The **General** section opens first. ## General options | Setting | Option ID | Default | Free/Pro | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Enable Plugin | `ttt_pnwc_opt_enable` | Yes | Free | | Device types (mobile, desktop, or both) | `ttt_pnwc_opt_allowed_device_types` | Empty (all devices) | Free | | AJAX pop-up | `ttt_pnwc_opt_ajax` | Yes | Free | | Close on click inside | `ttt_pnwc_opt_click_inside_close` | No | Free | | Prevent closing if clicking outside | `ttt_pnwc_opt_prevent_closing_if_clicking_out` | No | Free | | Prevent scrolling (AJAX notices only) | `ttt_pnwc_opt_prevent_scroll` | No | Pro | | Micromodal loading method | `ttt_pnwc_opt_micromodal_load_method` | Externally from unpkg.com | Free | ## Turn notices into pop-ups in four steps 1. Install and activate Popups for WooCommerce, then go to **WPFactory > Popups**. 2. Check that **Enable Plugin** is ticked (it is on by default). 3. Under **Notice types**, keep error, success and info notices enabled, or untick the ones you do not want as pop-ups. 4. Under **Notice hiding**, tick the types whose normal inline notice you want to hide, then click **Save changes**. Add a product to the cart to see the pop-up. ## What each general option does - **Device types:** choose Mobile, Desktop or both. Leave it empty to load the pop-ups on every device. - **AJAX pop-up:** also shows notices that appear without a page reload, for example errors after updating the cart or at checkout. When off, only notices present when the page loads become pop-ups. - **Close on click inside:** closes the pop-up when the customer clicks a button or link inside it, such as View cart. - **Prevent closing if clicking outside:** the pop-up stays open when the customer clicks the dark overlay, so they must use the close button. - **Prevent scrolling (Pro):** stops the cart and checkout pages from scrolling up to WooCommerce's notice area after an AJAX update. Micromodal is the small JavaScript library that renders the pop-up. You can load it externally from unpkg.com, externally from jsdelivr.com, or locally from the plugin folder. Choose **Locally** if your site blocks external scripts or a privacy policy requires it. ## Why store owners use pop-up notices - **Nothing gets missed:** a modal is far harder to overlook than a themed inline notice, so add-to-cart confirmations and checkout errors actually reach the customer. - **Clearer errors:** replace easy-to-miss validation messages with a pop-up the customer must acknowledge before continuing. - **Consistent look:** pop-ups render the same way regardless of how a theme styles WooCommerce notices. ## If pop-ups do not appear - **Enable Plugin** is off, or the visitor's device is not in **Device types**. - The notice type is unticked under **Notice types**. - The notice appears after an AJAX request and **AJAX pop-up** is off. - The Micromodal script is blocked by a firewall, ad blocker or script optimizer. Switch **Micromodal loading method** to **Locally**. - Your theme or the block-based Cart and Checkout print notices with their own markup. The plugin reads WooCommerce's standard `woocommerce-message`, `woocommerce-error` and `woocommerce-info` notices. - With Pro, **Restrictive Loading** limits pop-ups to selected pages or conditions.

See [remove default WooCommerce notices to avoid duplicate pop-up messages](https://wpfactory.com/docs/remove-woocommerce-notices/). ## FAQ ### Does it show a pop-up when a product is added to the cart? Yes, on the product page, because WooCommerce shows a success notice there. On shop and category pages WooCommerce adds products by AJAX without a notice, so the pop-up needs the Pro **AJAX add to cart notice** option, see [add to cart pop-up on shop and archive pages](https://wpfactory.com/docs/woocommerce-ajax-add-to-cart-popup/). ### Can the pop-up include a link to checkout? The pop-up shows WooCommerce's own message, which includes its View cart button. With Pro message customization you can add your own content and a checkout link using `{{checkout_permalink}}`, see [customize pop-up notices](https://wpfactory.com/docs/enhance-pop-up-notices/). ### Can it show related or upsell products in a pop-up? No. Popups for WooCommerce turns store notices into pop-ups. For product suggestion pop-ups, WPFactory offers a separate plugin, [WooCommerce Sales Bump: Upsell, Cross-sell & Related Products Popup](https://wpfactory.com/item/woocommerce-upsell-cross-sell-related-products-popup/). ### Can I change the pop-up design? Yes, with Pro, through the WordPress Customizer, see [style pop-up notices with the Customizer](https://wpfactory.com/docs/woocommerce-popup-notices-custom-style/). ### Get more control The general options above are free. [Popups for WooCommerce: Add to Cart, Checkout & More](https://wpfactory.com/item/popup-notices-for-woocommerce/) Pro adds styling through the Customizer, auto-close, cookies, audio, restrictive loading, and message customization.
