MySite: Create Popups and "Subscribe to Mailing List" Forms – Vagaro Support

Popups are used to bring meaningful content to your customers' attention with the goal of encouraging them to sign up for a service, redeem a deal, or join a mailing list. Vagaro has two popup types you can choose from when setting up your MySite:

The Default "Pop-up": A popup that prompts customers to fill out a form, go to another page, acknowledge an announcement, use a Daily Deal, and so on.
The "Subscribe" Popup: A popup that has a form so customers can subscribe to your mailing list by entering their information.

Prerequisites: This feature requires MySite. To set up your first website, see Getting Started with Vagaro MySite.
