Setting up Exit Intent Recommendations on WooCommerce

The Exit Intent popup reacts when a visitor tries to leave your webshop. It pops up and displays interesting products, possibly converting a leaving visitor to a buying customer.

Setup with Plugin

From v1.3.8 of the WooCommerce plugin, Exit-Intent can be activated directly from the plugin.

The setup is 5 steps:

1. Make a new of Website Content in my.clerk.io and name it “Exit Intent”

2. Choose a logic for it - We suggest “Visitor Recommendations”.

3. In the WooCommerce backend, go to Clerk in the side-menu and find Exit-Intent Settings.

4. Check the Enabled box, and make sure that the Template field contains “exit-intent”.

5. Click Save Settings to activate it.

Now you will see the exit intent pop-up when anyone tries to leave the page, the first time.

Setup Manually

If you run an older version of the plugin, or want to manually configure Exit-Intent, follow these steps:

1. Make a new of Website Content in my.clerk.io

2. Choose a logic for it - We suggest “Visitor Recommendations”.

3. From Insert Into Website, copy the provided embedcode to this WooCommerce file, just above the Clerk.io tracking-script:

   wp-content->plugins->clerkio->includes->class-clerk-visitor-tracking.php

4. Add:  data-exit-intent=“true” to the embed code you just placed. Like so:

Example embed code

<span class="clerk"
  data-template="@exit-intent"
  data-exit-intent="true">
</span>

Inserted in class-clerk-visitor-tracking.php

Remember to style your content in Designs at my.clerk.io

All recommendations containing the data-exit-intent=“true” will trigger the exit intent pop up.
