Target Users: Overview

A full guide to Promolayer's Target users settings — traffic source, device, visit count, page views, display history, button clicks, form submissions, location, and Shopify-specific filters.

Target Users is a feature that lets you control which visitors see a display. Configure one or more filters — the display only appears to visitors who match all enabled conditions.

Users who access the site from the same browser are treated as the same user. Every setting has a toggle switch — when off, that rule is not applied.

How it works

Enable multiple filters to require all conditions to be met simultaneously. When a filter is off, visitors are not evaluated against that rule.

Options

Traffic source

Show or hide based on where the visitor came from: Facebook, Instagram, LINE, YouTube, Twitter, TikTok, Reddit, Pinterest, Yappli apps, Google Ads, Yahoo Ads, Criteo Ads, Search engines, In-app browsers.

Device

Show on mobile only or PC only.

Visit count and frequency

One session = one visit (starts on arrival; ends when tab is closed or 30 min of inactivity). The current session is not counted. You can also set a time period (e.g., "First time within 1 day" matches users whose first visit was within the last 24 hours).

Page views in current visit

Filter by the number of pages viewed in the current session. Resets on the next visit.

Has / has not viewed a specific page

Show or hide based on whether the visitor has viewed a specified page URL.

Display view history

Show only to users who have (or haven't) seen a specific other display. Useful for showing displays in sequence.

Button click history

Filter by whether a user has clicked a specific button in a display. Example: hide a display from users who previously clicked "Never show again."

Form submission history

Show or hide based on whether a user has submitted any Promolayer form (applies across all displays). Useful for hiding a new display version from users who already submitted the old one.

Page view history (has / has not viewed)

Ignores sessions — if a user has ever viewed any page on the site, they count as "has viewed." Useful for identifying true first-time visitors on their very first page load.

User location

Show or hide based on the user's location, determined by IP address.

Customer tags (Shopify only)

Show or hide based on Shopify customer tags.

Cart contents (Shopify only)

Show or hide based on items currently in the user's cart.

Cart total (Shopify and ColorMe only)

Show or hide based on the total value of items in the cart.
