Targeting Options

Once you’ve connected BigCommerce with OptinMonster you’ll have additional options available in the campaign builder’s Display Rules.

You can use these additional options to hide or show campaigns based on BigCommerce-specific conditions.

Campaign Builder Display Rules

The following Display Rules are available through the campaign builder:

  • BigCommerce Cart Total
    Show based on the total cost of the items in your visitor’s cart.
  • BigCommerce Cart Subtotal
    Show based on the subtotal cost of the items in your visitor’s cart.
  • BigCommerce Cart Contains
    Show if your visitor has specific products in their cart.

Troubleshooting

What domain do I enter when creating my OptinMonster campaigns?

When creating your Campaign you can add the domain *.mybigcommerce.com for your campaign to load on. This will allow you to view the campaign when previewing your site.

If your site uses a custom domain, you’ll need to also add the domain that appears in the address bar when you view your website.

If you haven’t registered the domain you want to use in your OptinMonster account yet, you can add the site through the Publish screen in the campaign builder, or through the Account > Sites screen. Learn more about how to register your domain in OptinMonster.

  1. In the Publish view of the campaign builder, be sure the domain is listed under the Websites section. Click Add a website if your domain isn’t already assigned to the campaign to select and add it.
    Add site to the Publish screen for your OptinMonster campaign.
  2. When you’re finished, click Save.
