Can I create what's called an 'exit-intent' offer that only appears when someone tries to close the cart page?

Exit-Intent Offers in Growth Suite
Exit-intent triggers are one of the most valuable recovery tools because they catch visitors at the exact moment of decision: the moment they are about to leave without purchasing. Showing an offer at this precise moment is far more effective than showing it at random or showing it too early.
Exit-Intent Detection Methods
| Exit Signal | How It Is Detected |
|---|---|
| Cursor toward close button | Mouse position tracking, movement toward top of viewport |
| Back button navigation | Browser history navigation detection |
| Tab switching | Page visibility API change detection |
| Mobile swipe-down (back) | Touch gesture detection for mobile browsers |
Why Timing Matters
- Showing an offer too early interrupts browsing and generates dismissals from engaged visitors.
- Showing an offer at exit catches the exact walk-away moment when intervention is most needed.
- Exit-intent visitors who are offered a discount convert at 2-5x the rate of random session interruption.
Growth Suite combines exit-intent detection with Purchase Intent Prediction, so exit-intent offers are only shown to visitors who both show an exit signal AND are classified as walk-away customers. Dedicated buyers who move their cursor toward the close button out of habit (not genuine intent to leave) do not receive discount offers, protecting full-price conversion for high-intent visitors.
