How to hide a Squarespace pop-up on desktop only 

You first need to ensure that the promotion pop-up is toggled on within your marketing dashboard. Here you’ll also have the option to turn on mobile display. However there’s no option to turn off desktop. 

Instead for this you’ll need to navigate to your custom CSS panel and add in the following code:

@media screen and (min-width: 641px) {
.sqs-popup-overlay {
display: none !important;
}
}

This code is telling Squarespace that you’re targeting all screen sizes bigger than the largest possible mobile display e.g. desktops. 

Within the code you’ll also need to add your target aka the part of your website you want the code to target, in this case your pop-up.

In order to get this target open an incognito browser and navigate to your website. Once the pop-up has appeared head to your Google Chrome Developer Tools and copy and paste the pop-up target. When getting this, ensure you’re getting the whole pop-up background, not just the pop-up text. 

Paste this into your code and hit save. This will remove your pop-up from desktop only, ensuring it still appears for mobile users.
