Turn visitors into subscribers with playful popups — spin wheels, scratch cards, mystery boxes, quizzes, and more. One plugin, fifteen psychological levers, zero dev time.
Visitors blow past generic popups. The ones that convert? They're games. Whimzy gives you 15 different game mechanics — and the psychology to know which one to use, when.
Plain newsletter popups convert at 1-3%. Visitors have trained themselves to click ✕ before the popup finishes sliding in.
A wheel works for first-time visitors but not cart abandoners. A quiz segments but doesn't reward. You need different games for different moments.
15 mechanics, each mapped to a different psychological trigger. Pick the right game for the right moment and watch your list grow 3-6× faster.

Drop [whimzy id="1"] anywhere, or enable exit-intent / time / scroll / first-visit triggers to run site-wide.
Whimzy isn't one popup pretending to be many. Every mechanic solves a specific growth problem.
| Your problem | Use this mechanic | Why it works |
|---|---|---|
| Cart abandonment is eating profit | Pick Your Prize | Control illusion turns exit-click into engagement |
| Mobile traffic is huge, bounce is huger | Scratch Card | Tactile gesture = 3× memory encoding |
| Black Friday / Ramadan campaign | Advent Calendar | Daily return hook compounds engagement |
| Catalog too big, visitors freeze | Product Finder Quiz | Personalization + free segmentation data |
| Email list growth flatlined | Spin Wheel | 60-80% opt-in rate vs. 2-5% for plain popups |
| Repeat purchase low | Streak Rewards | Goal gradient brings users back |
| AOV under target | Cart Progress Meter | "Almost there" effect bumps cart size 18%+ |
| Flash sale needs urgency | Dutch Auction | Loss aversion + greed tension converts |

Mailchimp, Klaviyo, HubSpot, ActiveCampaign, ConvertKit, Brevo, MailerLite, and a generic webhook for everything else.

No vanity metrics. Just the stuff developers and merchants check before installing.
No. Whimzy works as a pure email-capture tool. If WooCommerce is active, it adds coupon auto-generation as a bonus.
Public CSS + JS is ~15KB combined and only loads on pages that use a campaign or have an auto-trigger active. Admin assets don't load on the frontend at all.
Yes. IPs are hashed (never raw), consent is required and logged, full data deletion on uninstall is opt-in.
