PWA Install Prompt for Customers

D
Written by Dazza

Your store as an app on their phone

Your storefront can be installed as an app on your customers' phones. When they "install" it, your store appears on their home screen with your logo, and opens in full-screen mode — just like a native app. This is called a Progressive Web App (PWA).

Enabling the install prompt

  1. Go to Settings > Storefront in your dashboard.

  2. Find the "PWA Install Prompt" section.

  3. Toggle it on.

  4. Optionally, add incentive text (e.g., "Install our app for exclusive deals!").

How it works for customers

When a customer visits your storefront on their phone, they will see a bottom sheet prompting them to add your store to their home screen. The prompt includes step-by-step instructions for their specific device (Chrome on Android, Safari on iPhone, etc.).

Benefits

  • Customers can access your store with one tap from their home screen.

  • Your store opens in full-screen mode without browser bars.

  • Customers who install the app can receive push notifications about their orders and your promotions.

  • It increases repeat orders because your store is always visible on their phone.
