Can Exit-Intent Be Triggered Programmatically?
Programmatic triggering gives you complete control over when and how exit-intent fires. Rather than relying on third-party pop-up tools with limited customization, a programmatic approach lets you define precise behavioral conditions, eligibility rules, and suppression logic.
Programmatic Trigger Components
Desktop Signals (JavaScript)
- mousemove event: detect Y coordinate near 0
- mouseleave event on document body
- visibilitychange event: tab switching
- beforeunload event: page close attempt
Mobile Signals (JavaScript)
- scroll event: rapid upward velocity
- setTimeout: inactivity detection
- touchend: last touch position tracking
- popstate event: back gesture
Programmatic Eligibility Checks
- Check sessionStorage to confirm this is the first trigger attempt this session
- Check localStorage or cookie to enforce cooldown period between visits
- Validate minimum time-on-page before allowing any trigger
- Check page type against an allowed list (product, cart, collection)
- Verify visitor eligibility via API call to suppress for recent purchasers
Growth Suite Tip: Growth Suite handles all trigger logic, eligibility checking, and suppression programmatically through its own system - so Shopify merchants get the benefits of precise programmatic triggering without writing custom code.
