Hi
Hope your all keeping well,
Can anybody help with this please, as I think this may be detrimental to EVERYONE who has a Shopify store…
On my website (hosted by shopify) I have Apple Pay and G Pay enabled, so that when anybody logs onto my site through safari, chrome or on a PC browser these Gateway Payments work fine:)
However, the big problem arrises when anyone visits my site from FACEBOOK or Instagram. For instance if you click the ‘website link’ in the BIO on any Instagram page (or from Facebook) to visit my shopify website - Instagram or Facebook opens up ‘the website’ in its own ‘built in browser’.
This prevents the shopify page offering the GPay/Apple Pay gateways as the Instagram/Facebook ‘click through’ doesnt pass ‘this user device code’ on to the shopify pages.
Bascially the shopify product detail/cart page doesnt know what device the customer is using so doent offer Apple or G Pay,
Im no programmer but can any great person or persons out there do 1 of 2 things to help everybody out please?
-
To write some code into the product detail page or cart page that detects what device the user is using and/or if they have apple pay/google pay installed on thier device - If theyre using android phone/tablet - display a ‘Pay with GPay’ button and if they are on apple device to display the ‘Apple Pay’ button.
-
The shopify page detects thats it is being opened in an ‘Instagram/Facebook’ brower AND NOT Chrome,Edge,FireFox, Safari etc…
A Popup message/graphic appears perhaps temporarily and point to the 3 dots ‘…’ in the top right of the ‘Instagram browser’ on the users device. The message says press the 3 dots here
and seletct Safari, Chrome etc for a better shopping experience (and you can use GPay or Apple Pay)
Hope someone can help Shopify customers who are visited from socail media Instagram or Facebook
Thanks very much in advance
Best Regards
