Short answer
An exit-intent popup is a website popup triggered when a visitor's behavior signals they are about to leave, such as moving the cursor toward the browser bar. It typically offers a discount, free shipping, or email signup. Used sparingly, it can recover some abandoning visitors without disrupting the browsing experience.
