The Shortcode popup type is designed to let you display any content generated by WordPress shortcodes inside a popup. This makes it a powerful and flexible option for embedding forms, polls, event calendars, quizzes, and more without the need for additional coding.
What Is It Used For? #
The Shortcode popup is ideal for situations where you want to take advantage of existing WordPress or plugin functionality and display it in a popup format. Instead of creating something from scratch, you can insert a shortcode and immediately have a functional popup.

Settings Specific to Shortcode Popups #
While most popup settings remain the same across all types, the Shortcode popup has a dedicated field for pasting your shortcode:
Shortcode Field – Enter any valid WordPress shortcode here.
Once saved, the shortcode will render the content of that plugin directly inside your popup.
The Shortcode popup type is one of the most practical and time-saving tools in the Popup Box plugin. By simply inserting a shortcode, you can display interactive forms, quizzes, booking systems, WooCommerce products, and much more, all within a popup.
