# Email Sign-up

A sign-up dialog that asks for an email a few seconds in.

A dialog that opens by itself a few seconds after someone arrives and asks for their email. It's off until you turn it on.

It's the **Email sign-up** section in the theme editor's sidebar.

## Where sign-ups go

Straight into your Shopify **Customers** as people who accept email marketing, tagged `newsletter`. No app needed. Filter Customers by email subscription to see them, or by the tag to see just this dialog's.

## When it appears

| Setting                          | Default   |                                                                                             |
| -------------------------------- | --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Show the sign-up dialog**      | off       |                                                                                             |
| **Open after**                   | 4 seconds | 0 to 30. Counted from when the desktop is on screen, not from when the page started loading |
| **Once closed, ask again after** | 14 days   | 1 to 90                                                                                     |
| **Show on phones**               | on        |                                                                                             |

Closing it is remembered in the visitor's own browser, so they aren't asked again until the days are up.

## What it says

| Setting               | Default                                                          |
| --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Window title**      | Email Sign up                                                    |
| **Picture**           | none — portrait works best; the dialog is taller than it is wide |
| **Bold line**         | Don't miss a drop                                                |
| **Plain line**        | New releases first, by email.                                    |
| **Field placeholder** | <you@email.com>                                                  |
| **Button**            | Join                                                             |
| **Thank-you message** | You are on the list.                                             |

## Editing it

It never opens by itself in the theme editor. Select the section and it opens; move to another and it closes. Closing it while you work isn't remembered as a real dismissal.
