Retargeting abandoned carts is an effective marketing technique that incentivizes customers to buy the items they abandoned after adding them to their cart on your website. One effective strategy for bringing those customers back to finish the purchase is to offer a discount on the items they intended to buy. The tricky part is to offer those discounts only to users who have abandoned their carts.

Divi’s condition options include display conditions that allow you to show or hide content based on a user’s WooCommerce cart content and page visits. This condition combo makes it possible to retarget those users who have abandoned their carts with a discount or promo popup.

In this tutorial, we are going to show you how to retarget abandoned carts by creating a smart promo popup that shows on a landing page only if the user has items in their cart and has visited the checkout page.

Let’s get started!

Sneak Peek

Here is a quick look at the promo popup we’ll build in this tutorial.

This promo popup will display on the page if the user has added a product to their cart and visited the checkout page.

Understanding the Concept

Before getting into the nitty-gritty building process of the tutorial, it might help to understand the basic concept of what we are going to build. The idea is to use the Divi Builder to build a promo popup on an existing landing page. Once the promo popup section is built, we want to add the condition options that will display the section when both of the following conditions are met.

This can be done using Divi’s built-in condition options when editing the section (or any Divi Element).

Once the condition options are set for that section (or promo popup), we can now retarget users who have abandoned their cart by displaying the popup whenever they have met the conditions. The process would go something like this…

Pretty cool stuff! Now that you understand the concept, let’s get to the tutorial, shall we?

What You Need to Get Started

To get started, you will need to do the following:

After that, you will have a blank canvas to start designing in Divi.

Retargeting Abandoned Carts with a Promo Popup using Divi’s Condition Options

Part 1: Uploading the Premade Landing Page

For this tutorial, we are going to add the promo popup to the landing page of a Divi website. To jumpstart this process, we are going to import the Perfumery Landing Page layout from within the Divi Builder.

To do this, open the settings menu and click the Add From Library icon. Then search and find the Perfumery Layout Pack and click to use the Perfumery Layout Page Layout.

Part 2: Building a Fixed Section as the Promo Popup Container

Once the landing page is loaded. Scroll to the bottom of the page and add a new regular section below the footer section of the page.

Section Settings

Next, update the section settings with a custom max-width and padding as follows:

Then give the section a border.

Box Shadow

Once the border is in place, add a box shadow to the section for a little depth:

To give the popup a delayed animation, update the animation style as follows:

This will show the popup section 3 seconds after page load with a nice flip animation.

Under the Advanced tab, update the position so that the section remains fixed at the bottom left of the browser window.

CSS Class

Eventually, we are going to add a clickable “X” icon that will close/hide the popup. We need to add a custom CSS Class to the section in order to target it with jQuery.

Enter the following CSS Class:

Part 3: Adding Condition Options to Section

Once the section (our popup container) is built, we are ready to add the condition options that will display the section when both of the following conditions are met.

Display Condition 1: Cart Contents

First, we are going to add a display condition that will display the section/popup whenever the user has contents in their cart.

To do this, go to the advanced tab under the section settings. Then click the plus icon to add a new condition.

In the dropdown menu, select the Cart Contents condition.

In the Cart Contents settings popup, make sure the option Display Only If User’s Cart is set to “Has Products”.

Then save changes.

NOTE: This condition is specific to Divi sites using WooCommerce.

Display Condition 2: Page Visit

Next, we are going to add a display condition that will display the section/popup whenever the user has visited a specific page, which, in this case, will be the Checkout page on a WooCommerce site.

To do this, go to the advanced tab under the section settings. Then click the plus icon to add a new condition.

In the dropdown menu, select the Page Visit condition.

In the Cart Contents settings popup, make sure the option Display Only If User is set to “Has Visited a Specific Page”. Then select the Checkout page from the list of pages in the popup.

Then save changes.

Display If All Conditions Are True

Since we have multiple conditions in play, we can choose to display the section if any or all conditions are true.

In this case, it makes sense to display the promo popup when all conditions are true (the user has contents in their cart and they have visited the check-out page).

Under Display Conditions, select the following:

At this point, the condition functionality we are looking for is already in place to show the section only when a user has cart contents and has visited the checkout page. Now, all we need to do is fill the section with the content needed to create the promo.

Part 4: Creating the Promo Popup Content

To create the content for the promo popup, we are going to add four modules:

Creating the “X” Icon to Close the Popup

The Row for the Icon

Before we add the “X” icon blurb, add a new one-column row to the section.

Update the row settings as follows:

Then give the row an absolute position with a higher z index as follows:

The Icon

To create the “X” icon to close the popup, add a new blurb module inside the row.

Take out any default Title or Body text from the blurb content. Then click to use the X icon for the blurb.

Under the design tab, update the following:

Under the Advanced tab, add the following custom CSS class to the blurb:

We will need to target this class with our jQuery later.

Creating the Title and Body Text for the Popup

The other modules we are going to add will need a separate row. Add a new one-column row under the previous row containing the blurb icon.

Then update the row settings as follows:

To add the Title and Body content, add a new text module inside the new row.

Update the content inside the body area with the following HTML:

Under the design tab, update the text styles as follows:

Creating the Promo Code for the Popup

To create the promo code, add a new text module under the previous one.

Update the body area with the text “Code: Perfumeoff”

Under the design tab, update the following:

Creating the Button for the Popup

In order to create the button, copy the button module of one of the existing buttons on the premade layout.

Then past the button module under the promo code text module.

Update the button text and alignment as follows:

Don’t forget to add a link to the checkout page. To do this, you can use add a dynamic page link as the button link URL to your existing checkout page.

Custom Code to Close the Popup When Clicking the “X” Icon

For our final step, we need to add a quick snippet of CSS and jQuery to close the popup when clicking the “X” icon.

To add the code, add a new code module under the button.

Then paste the following CSS making sure to wrap the code in the necessary style tags.

Under the last style tag containing the CSS snippet, paste the following jQuery making sure to wrap the code with the necessary script tags.

Final Result

Currently, the promo popup will remain hidden until you have successfully met both conditions set with Divi’s condition options on the section. This means you will have to add a product to your cart and then visit the checkout page. After that, go back to the landing page we just built and you will see the promo popup 3 seconds after page load.

Here is what the promo popup looks like when visiting the page after meeting the conditions.

Here is the popup on mobile.

And here is an example of the process a user would go through before seeing the promo that successfully retargets them to finish the checkout process.

Final Thoughts

Divi’s conditional options open the door for tons of opportunities to display content in strategic ways. The promo popup that we built in this tutorial is great for retargeting abandoned carts. But there are so many more ways to fine-tune the conditions to fit your own needs or build a completely new process for retargeting abandoned carts. I’d love to hear your ideas!

I look forward to hearing from you in the comments.

Cheers!
