Welcome to Qpushly
What web push is, what Qpushly does with it, and what it can't do — read this first.
Qpushly adds web push notifications to your Shopify store. A visitor taps “Allow” once in their browser, and from then on you can send them a notification that appears on their desktop or phone — even when they are not on your site.
No email address. No phone number. Nothing for the shopper to type.
What you can send
Campaigns — a message you write and send yourself, now or on a schedule. A new drop, a sale, a restock announcement.
Automations — messages that fire on their own when something happens in your store. There are five:
| Automation | Sends when |
|---|---|
| Welcome notifications | someone subscribes |
| Abandoned cart recovery | a cart sits untouched for ten minutes |
| Browse abandonment | a product was viewed but not bought |
| Back in stock | a variant someone looked at is available again |
| Price drop | a product falls below the price a shopper saw |
Each automation can send up to three messages in sequence, on delays you set.
What web push is not
Two more limits worth knowing before you plan anything around push:
- A subscriber is a browser, not a person. If someone subscribes on their laptop and again on their phone, that is two subscribers. If they clear their browser data, the subscription is gone and they will need to opt in again.
- You cannot email a push subscriber. Qpushly only knows the address their browser gave it. Email addresses appear in your subscriber list only where your own Shopify order data supplies one.
Where it runs
Qpushly is an embedded Shopify app — it lives inside your Shopify admin, in the sidebar with everything else. There is no separate dashboard to log into and no separate account to manage.
The storefront half of it is a theme app embed, which you switch on from the theme editor. That step is not optional, and it is where most setups stall — so it has its own page.
Which browsers can receive notifications
| Platform | Support |
|---|---|
| Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera — desktop | Yes |
| Chrome, Firefox, Samsung Internet — Android | Yes |
| Safari — macOS | Yes |
| Safari — iPhone / iPad | Only if the shopper adds your store to their home screen |
Where to go next
- Install Qpushly — from the App Store.
- Turn on the theme app embed — the step that actually makes it work.
- Quickstart — first subscriber and first send, in about ten minutes.
