But be careful, by default the pop-up is displayed everywhere on your website. For the testing, we recommend you to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smashpops.com\/blog\/how-to-display-your-pop-up-on-a-specific-page\">display your pop-up on a specific page<\/a> that is not too visible to your customers (don&#8217;t forget to remove this targeting rule when you want to make it live officially). Once your pop-up is configured, you can make it live by clicking on the <strong>toggle switch<\/strong> (cf screenshot below).<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-230 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.smashpops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/first-campaign19-1024x485.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"485\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.smashpops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/first-campaign19-1024x485.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.smashpops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/first-campaign19-300x142.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.smashpops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/first-campaign19-768x364.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.smashpops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/first-campaign19-1536x728.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.smashpops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/first-campaign19-2048x971.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/li>\n<li>Can&#8217;t see your pop-up? Remember that SmashPops will consider you as a normal user, exactly like your customers, which means that all the display rules you set up will also apply to you. By default, the display rules are set to:<strong>Maximum displays<\/strong> = <strong>Display max once every day for each user.<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>Display even after the user performed the action?<\/strong> = <strong><strong><strong>No.<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>If you leave it that way, you will see your pop-up one time, but if you refresh the page, you&#8217;ll need to wait for the next day before it shows up again. Furthermore, if you test it out and submit data, the pop-up will not appear anymore because you&#8217;ve already performed the &#8220;play&#8221; action.For testing purposes, you can either use a private navigation window in your browser (you&#8217;ll be considered as a brand new visitor) or <strong>temporarily<\/strong> change the display rules to have the popup appear more often.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-329 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.smashpops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/test-1024x485.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"485\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.smashpops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/test-1024x485.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.smashpops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/test-300x142.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.smashpops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/test-768x364.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.smashpops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/test-1536x728.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.smashpops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/test-2048x971.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>One additional tip : you can specify IP addresses for which the pop-up displays will not be counted by going to &#8220;My Account &gt; IP display blacklist&#8221; (this will avoid consuming your credits while testing).
