This guide will show you how to install Poper on your OpenCart website, allowing you to create effective popups that capture leads and enhance your marketing efforts.

Prerequisites:

  • A Poper account (free plan available)

  • An OpenCart store

Steps:

Create a New Website in Poper:

Visit the Poper website and navigate to the "Website" section (globe icon). Click on "New Website" and enter your OpenCart website's domain name.

Access Poper Dashboard:

Ensure you're on the correct domain within your Poper dashboard. This guarantees you're working with the settings specific to your OpenCart store.

Get the Embed Code:

Locate the "Code" icon in the left-hand navigation bar of your Poper dashboard. Click on the icon to access the embed code for your popups.

Copy the Embed Code:

Click the "Copy" button to copy the embed code to your clipboard. You'll need this code to integrate Poper with your OpenCart store.

Access OpenCart Theme Editor:

Log in to your OpenCart admin panel and navigate to Design > Theme Editor.

Locate the header.twig File:

Within the theme editor, explore the folders and files associated with your current theme. The typical location of the header.twig file is within the common folder of your theme (e.g.,default/template/common/header.twig).

Important Note: The specific location of the header.twig file might vary depending on your chosen OpenCart theme. If you're unsure about the location, search for the file name within the theme editor.

Paste the Embed Code:

Open the header.twig file for editing. Locate an appropriate place to paste the embed code you copied from Poper. In most cases, you can paste the code right before the closing </head> tag. Once you've pasted the code, click the "Save" button to integrate Poper with your OpenCart store.

Verify Your Domain:

Click on the "Verify Domain" button at the top of Poper dashboard. Poper will guide you through the verification process, which typically involves adding a verification code to your BigCommerce store's settings. Once verified, you'll receive a success message.

Test Your Popups (Optional):

Go back to your Poper dashboard and click on "View Store." This will open your OpenCart store in a new window, and your popups should be displayed based on the conditions you set within Poper.

Congratulations! You've successfully installed Poper on your OpenCart website. Now you can design and manage attractive popups to capture leads, promote special offers, and improve customer engagement.

Additional Tips:

  • Utilize Poper's drag-and-drop builder to create visually appealing popups that align with your brand identity and target audience.

  • Explore Poper's targeting features to ensure your popups are displayed to the right visitors at the right time.

  • Leverage Poper's analytics to track the performance of your popups and gain valuable insights for optimization.

By following these steps and exploring Poper's capabilities, you can create a compelling lead capture strategy for your OpenCart store, ultimately driving sales and customer growth.
