Display Rules

Display refers to which page(s) you want to display the optins. It can be blog posts, static pages, single product pages, or any other WooCommerce pages. And, if you use EDD, you can also target cart, checkout, etc pages with ease.

Schedules

Manually enabling and disabling optins is a challenging task. The good news is you don’t need to worry about it anymore. Because with WowOptin you can set start and end dates for the optins.
