Adding a pop-up to your Wix website is a great way to engage visitors, collect emails, announce promotions, or guide user actions. This video offers a step-by-step guide on how to do it directly through the Wix Editor, using built-in tools or third-party apps for added functionality.
To start, log into your Wix account at [https://wix.com](https://wix.com). Once you're in your dashboard, go to the Wix Editor either by selecting your site and clicking "Edit Site" or visiting [https://editor.wix.com](https://editor.wix.com). If you're using the Wix Studio interface, the navigation may look slightly different, but the overall process remains similar.
Inside the editor, click on the “+ Add Elements” button on the left-hand panel. Scroll down and find the "Interactive" section. Here, you'll see the option to add a "Lightbox." A lightbox is a built-in Wix feature that acts as a pop-up window on your site. Select a lightbox template that fits your needs—there are options for newsletter signups, announcements, and more.
Once added to your page, you can fully customize the lightbox—change its text, images, colors, and layout. Importantly, you can also set up triggers, which determine when the pop-up appears (e.g., on page load, after a certain time, or when the visitor scrolls). This helps control the user experience and ensures your pop-up appears at the right moment.
If you're looking for advanced features like targeting specific users, integrating email platforms, or exit intent pop-ups, you can explore third-party apps from the Wix App Market. Popular tools include Poptin, Poppy, and Omnisend—all of which integrate smoothly with Wix.
