The type of popup you choose depends on your needs. For example, you can choose a slideshow, a welcome lightbox, or any other type you find suitable.

Step Three
In this step, just customize the popup text and add your brand’s style. Change the color and add effects if you want and make it stand out.
Step Four
Setting the trigger for your popup is important to improve user experience and engagement.
Consider adding an exit-intent trigger that captures visitor data just as they are about to leave your site.

How can I reach my collected leads data on Wix?
We’ve got you covered. When you launch a popup in Wix and collect lead data, that data is stored in the Contacts section of your Wix dashboard.
You can access this section by clicking on the contacts tab on the left-hand side of your Wix editor.
In the Contacts section, you'll be able to see all the lead data that was collected from your popups, including the contact's name, email address, and any other custom fields that you may have added to the popup form.
From there, you can export the lead data to a CSV file, which you can then import into your email marketing or CRM software.
You can also use Wix's built-in email marketing features to send email campaigns directly to your leads from within the Wix dashboard.
It's important to note that Wix takes data privacy and security seriously, and all lead data collected through your popups are stored securely in compliance with GDPR and other data protection regulations.
When it comes to creating popups on Wix, the built-in form builder can be limited in terms of design options and personalization features.
While the Wix built-in form builder has some customization options and templates, they may not fit every brand and style.
This can make it difficult to create eye-catching and effective popups that will engage your website visitors and drive conversions.
Fortunately, Popupsmart popup builder offers a solution that can give you more flexibility and higher conversion rates.
Plus, it offers gamification elements like spin-to-win features and animations to make your popups more engaging.
