Can I test pop-up vs banner discount displays?

I'm trying to optimize my e-commerce store's conversion rates and want to understand the most effective way to display discount offers. Should I use pop-ups or banner-style discount displays? I've heard conflicting advice about user experience and conversion impact, and I need a strategic approach to testing these different presentation methods. My goal is to find the display format that maximizes visibility without annoying potential customers or causing them to leave my site.

TL;DR - Quick Answer

Yes. Test pop-up vs. banner discount displays in Growth Suite by creating two campaign variants with identical offers but different display formats. Track which format achieves higher engagement rates and checkout completion. Most stores find pop-ups convert higher but banners cause less friction in the browsing experience.

Testing Pop-Up vs. Banner Discount Displays

Display format affects both how prominently the offer is seen and how it impacts the browsing experience. Testing both helps you find the balance between conversion and user experience for your specific audience.

Display Format Comparison

FormatVisibilityFriction Level
Center pop-upVery highHigh (interrupts browsing)
Bottom bannerMediumLow (non-intrusive)
Side slide-inMedium-highLow-medium

Testing recommendation: Use redemption rate as the primary metric, but also track bounce rate to see if a high-friction format (center pop-up) is causing more visitors to leave without browsing. High redemption with high bounce may still produce less total revenue than a lower-redemption, lower-friction format.
