What are web push notifications?
Think of web push notifications as direct messages from your website to your users' devices - even when they're not on your site. These clickable alerts pop up on desktop or mobile, helping you stay connected with your audience without needing their email.
Why you'll love push notifications
instant reach: connect with users in real-time
high visibility: grab attention with desktop/mobile alerts
no email needed: users subscribe with one click
better conversion: drive sales with targeted messaging
bypass inbox chaos: reach users directly, no email required
Getting started
1. setup is easy
reach out to our team at support@wisepops.com
we'll provide custom code snippets for your site
implement the code (don't worry, we'll guide you)
For Shopify websites, you don't need to implement any code, push notifications are available out of the box. Reach out to us and we will activate it for you.
2. collect subscribers
go to "push notification" settings
click "install on my website"
this will also activate the prompt in the notification feed if you have the notification feed on your website. You can customize this prompt in the same screen.
benefits: subtle, non-intrusive approach
Whether you have the notification feed installed on your website or not, we recommend to also create a popup to collect subscribers:
create a new popup
add the "web push opt-in" block
customize design & targeting
benefit: high visibility, better conversion
💡 Pro tip: use both methods together. our data shows:
feed prompt: ~0.1% conversion rate
popup prompt: ~1% conversion rate
example: with 150k monthly visitors, feed + popup prompt will get you ~ 1,650 monthly subscribers
3. Send push notifications
go to notifications → create campaign
select "push notification" template
craft your message:
write an attention-grabbing title
add compelling message text
include an image (optional)
set your target URL
send now or schedule for later
This is how browser push notifications look like:
Smart strategies for better results
Boost your subscriber base:
combine both methods: sse the notification feed for a subtle, always-present option, and popups for higher visibility and conversion rates.
target returning visitors (they're more likely to subscribe)
use exit-intent popups to catch leaving visitors
test different timing for your popups
add push notification opt-in to existing popup campaigns:
email/phone subscription confirmation popups
thank you messages
Current limitations (we're working on these!)
notifications go to all subscribers (no targeting yet)
basic customization options
browser restrictions may apply
Switching from another service?
We make migration easy with automatic resubscription of your existing users. To do so, uninstall the other service from your website and activate Wisepops push notifications. Here's what to expect:
automatic process: existing subscribers get automatically resubscribed to Wisepops when they revisit your site
initial dip: you might see fewer subscribers at first - this is normal!
better quality: expect a more engaged subscriber base long-term
💡 Note: offline subscribers will need to revisit your site to migrate. In the meantime, you can keep using your other disconnected service to send them push notifications.
