Debugging and Testing
By default, Affiliate Sale Booster Popups run in debug mode, that mean if a popup fails to meet conditions to be active, there will be a log on the console which explain which popup attempted to run and why the display has failed (maybe because of the category restriction).
About testing in real time, you’ll have to play with Cookies life. Unless you’ve selecte open « everytime after a click », you might need to delete the cookies from console (you can use « Private Navigation » as well). To delete the cookies, open the console and head to the application tab.
All Affiliate Sales Booster Popups will have a prefix similar to this : « asbp-popup- » as the cookie name. You can then see if a popup has been open (in your browser) and delete the cookie if you want to perform additional test.
