Popover
Popovers are similar to tooltips. They are small overlays that open on demand after a user interaction. The difference is that the popover can contain more content, without cluttering the page. They must be specified inside the overlay prop of an activator component (Button, Link or Pressable).
The library automatically applies the WAI-ARIA Popover Widget pattern to both the activator and the popover content.

- Anchor to alignmentalignmentAlignmentDefault: 'center'
Align the Popover in the axis determined by the position.
- string
A unique identifier for the component.
- Anchor to maxInlineSizemaxInlineSizeMaybeResponsiveConditionalStyle< number | `${number}%` | 'fill' >
Adjust the maximum inline size.
number: size in pixels.`${number}%`: size in percentages.fill: takes all the available space.- Anchor to minInlineSizeminInlineSizeMaybeResponsiveConditionalStyle< number | `${number}%` | 'fill' >
Adjust the minimum inline size.
number: size in pixels.`${number}%`: size in percentages.fill: takes all the available space.\- Anchor to onCloseonClose() => void
Callback to run when the Popover is closed
- Anchor to onOpenonOpen() => void
Callback to run when the Popover is opened
- Anchor to paddingpaddingMaybeResponsiveConditionalStyle<MaybeShorthandProperty<Spacing>>
Adjust the padding.
To shorten the code, it is possible to specify all the padding properties in one property.
Examples:
basemeans blockStart, inlineEnd, blockEnd and inlineStart paddings arebase[
base,none] means blockStart and blockEnd paddings arebase, inlineStart and inlineEnd paddings arenone[
base,none,loose,tight] means blockStart padding isbase, inlineEnd padding isnone, blockEnd padding islooseand blockStart padding istight
- Anchor to positionpositionPopoverPositionDefault: 'blockStart'
Position the Popover relative to the activator.

'start' | 'center' | 'end'MaybeResponsiveConditionalStyle
A type that represents a value that can be a conditional style. The conditions are based on the viewport size. We highly recommend using the `Style` helper which simplifies the creation of conditional styles. To learn more check out the [conditional styles](/api/checkout-ui-extensions/components/utilities/stylehelper) documentation.
T | ConditionalStyle<T, ViewportSizeCondition>ConditionalStyle
- conditionals
An array of conditional values.
ConditionalValue<T, AcceptedConditions>[] - default
The default value applied when none of the conditional values specified in `conditionals` are met.
T
export interface ConditionalStyle<
T,
AcceptedConditions extends BaseConditions = Conditions,
> {
/**
* The default value applied when none of the conditional values
* specified in `conditionals` are met.
*/
default?: T;
/**
* An array of conditional values.
*/
conditionals: ConditionalValue<T, AcceptedConditions>[];
}ConditionalValue
- conditions
The conditions that must be met for the value to be applied. At least one condition must be specified.
AcceptedConditions - value
The value that will be applied if the conditions are met.
T
export interface ConditionalValue<
T,
AcceptedConditions extends BaseConditions = Conditions,
> {
/**
* The conditions that must be met for the value to be applied. At least one
* condition must be specified.

Use popovers if:
The intent is to ask the customer for information.
It’s possible to use at most two rows of input fields to get the information.
