How to customize the reminder bar
The reminder bar is a sticky bar that appears at the top or bottom of your storefront after a visitor signs up. It displays the discount code so the visitor can easily find it while they continue shopping – no need to remember or write it down.
Where to find it
- Go to the Campaigns page and click Edit design on your campaign
- Go to the Content tab and scroll down to the Reminder bar section
Enabling the reminder bar
- Select Show after signup to display the reminder bar after a successful form submission
- Select Don't show reminder bar to hide it
Most templates turn the reminder bar on by default, with Show after signup selected, Page bottom as the position, and an expiration period of 15 minutes.
When it's on, the reminder bar appears:
- After a successful signup
- If the success screen is shown, after the visitor closes it
- For announcement and exit & cart saver campaigns, after the visitor clicks the button
What you can configure
Text – the message displayed on the reminder bar (e.g., "Don't forget your discount!"). Rich text editor. This field is required. The discount code is shown automatically next to your text as a button the visitor can click to copy it. For gamified campaigns, you can insert {{reward_name}} to display the name of the reward won.
Position – choose Page top or Page bottom. Top is more visible but can interfere with sticky navigation menus. Bottom is less intrusive.
Set expiration period – check this to set how long the reminder bar stays visible. Configure a value and period (Minutes, Hours, or Days). After the expiration period ends, the bar stops appearing on the next page load. If unchecked, the reminder bar stays visible until the visitor manually closes it.
Things to know
The reminder bar is styled separately. Reminder bar colors (background and text) are configured in the Styles tab, in the Reminder bar section of the Colors card.
The reminder bar only shows after signup. It won't appear to visitors who haven't submitted the form (or, for announcement and exit & cart saver campaigns, who haven't clicked the button). It's designed to help visitors who already have a code – not to attract new signups.
The reminder bar isn't available for embedded campaigns. Opt-in embedded and Gamified embedded campaigns don't have a Reminder bar section.
Check for conflicts with your theme's sticky header. If your Shopify theme has a sticky navigation bar at the top of the page, the reminder bar set to "Page top" may overlap with it. Test on your live store and switch to "Page bottom" if there's a conflict.
The reminder bar works alongside the teaser. Both can be active at the same time – the teaser lets visitors reopen the popup, while the reminder bar keeps the discount code visible. They serve different purposes.
