Hi everyone,

I’ve been testing a setup that turns a Shopify store into an installable PWA app and adds mobile push notifications — without needing a native app. Here are a few key lessons from the process:

  • Customized PWA install prompts significantly increase install rates.

  • Event-based notifications (cart updates, order status, browse events) perform far better than general broadcasts.

  • Offline browsing support greatly improves user experience and retention.

  • Using Wappaa helped deploy the PWA instantly and manage all notification settings and API triggers in one place.

I’m interested to hear from others who have worked with PWAs or push notifications on Shopify:
