BDOW! is the best pop-up tool for Showit users to collect emails or drive actions by making the right offer to the right visitor at the right time.

BDOW! can easily be embedded into your Showit site to generate leads using powerful contact forms with multiple choice options and pop-ups that can have unique and customizable triggers.

Quick Video Tutorial


Getting Started with BDOW!


To get started with BDOW!, you will want to make sure that you have first created a free account and signed in. Provide your site's URL in the sign up process and BDOW! will take you to the install page.

Copy the Site ID out of the bottom code box.

Already Have an Account?

If you already have a BDOW! account, log in and you should see a list of Your Sites to choose from. Add a new site or choose the site that you would like to embed a form or pop-up on, and hover over the MANAGE button next to the right of your site's name. Then, in the drop down that appears, select View Install Code.

This will take you to the screen where you can grab the SiteID, as shown above.

Installing BDOW!


You can install BDOW! on your Showit site pages and even in your blog pages simply by pasting your SiteID in your Site Settings.

Make sure you have your SiteID copied from BDOW! and head over to the Showit Design App. Click to open your Site Settings, and under the Third Party tab, you will see a spot to paste your BDOW! SiteID.

Once you've pasted your SiteID there, close this window and publish your site design so that your form will be live! Your pop-up form will display on every page, but if you would like to exclude your pop-up form from certain pages, you can do so in BDOW! under the Visibility section while updating your form.

Using the Sumo WordPress plugin?


If you currently have the Sumo WordPress plugin activated, we suggest deactivating that plugin after activating BDOW! within Showit.

Creating a BDOW! Contact Form


Now that you have connected your Showit site and blog pages to BDOW!, you are ready to start building your BDOW! contact form.

Head back to your BDOW! account and select the Manage option to the right of the site that you would like to install a contact form on.

From here, click Create Form.

You will then be prompted to design your BDOW! contact form. Complete Steps 1 through 3, choosing the Inline Form option on Step 2 to build your contact form.

On Step 4, select the Manual Mode option. You will be given another embed code. Copy this code. Then make sure you have published your contact form, by clicking on the Publish or Update button in the bottom right corner.

Note: Your form will not appear on your Showit pages unless you have published and/or updated your form in BDOW!

Embedding Your Contact Form in Showit

With your new embed code copied, choose a canvas that you would like to add your BDOW! contact form to and add an embed widget. Then paste the code in the embed widget box, click Save, and then Publish your Showit design.

You should then be able to go to your live site and see your form in action there!

Creating a BDOW! Pop-up


To create a pop-up with BDOW!, you will need to follow the same steps as above for creating a Contact Form. However, instead of selecting an inline form for your Form Type on step 2, you will want to select a Pop-up form.

You'll notice that in the Visibility settings after you disable smart mode, you will no longer be provided with the extra embed code. That's because you won't need it! Your pop-up form should work with just the code that you have installed in your Showit Site Settings earlier.

In the Visibility settings in BDOW! you can now customize your pop-up to change when, where, and how the pop-up displays on your Showit site.

Once you've customized your pop-up form, hit the Publish or Update button in the bottom right corner of BDOW!, and make sure to publish your site design in the Showit Design App and you should see your beautiful new pop-up form live on your Showit site!
