Yes, you can use code to make a popup modal appear once a day for users on your Webflow shop page. Here's how you can achieve this:

  1. Create a Modal: Start by creating a popup modal in Webflow. You can design and customize it according to your requirements.

  2. Add a Trigger: On the page where you want the modal to appear, add a trigger element such as a button or a link. This element will be responsible for opening the modal.

  3. Install Custom Code: Go to the "Custom Code" section of your Webflow project settings. Here, you can add custom HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to your website.

  4. Write JavaScript Code: In the JavaScript section, write the code that will handle the popup modal functionality. Here's an example code snippet you can use as a starting point:

function getCookie(name) {  var value = "; " + document.cookie;  var parts = value.split("; " + name + "=");  if (parts.length === 2) return parts.pop().split(";").shift();}function setCookie(name, value, days) {  var expires = "";  if (days) {    var date = new Date();    date.setTime(date.getTime() + days * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);    expires = "; expires=" + date.toGMTString();  }  document.cookie = name + "=" + value + expires + "; path=/";}function showModalOncePerDay() {  var modal = document.getElementById("your-modal-id");  var lastShownDate = getCookie("popupModalLastShown");  if (!lastShownDate || new Date() - new Date(lastShownDate) >= 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000) {    setCookie("popupModalLastShown", new Date().toISOString().split("T")[0], 1);    modal.style.display = "block";  }}document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function () {  showModalOncePerDay();});
  1. Replace "your-modal-id": In the code, replace "your-modal-id" with the actual ID of your popup modal.

  2. Apply Custom Code: Save the custom code and publish your Webflow project. The popup modal will now appear only once a day for users who visit your website.

Remember, it's important to test the functionality thoroughly to ensure it works as expected.
