Step 1. Ask for permission

Your site visitors must give you permission to send them push notifications. This happens through a prompt which you can customize to ask them to subscribe to your messages.

Set your Icon!

The icon image you set here for the icon field is used in some of the Automated Messages that don't include products.

A square 256x256 pixels icon is recommended for best fit across all browsers.

You can customize the message, your own icon, and the delay for when to show the prompt:

• pageviews controls how many pages or refreshes the user must perform to be prompted
• seconds controls how long the user has to be on the page before the prompt shows

During setup, if you click Skip at this step, the prompt will not be enabled on your site, and visitors will be unable to subscribe to your notifications. You can always turn this prompt on or off within your OneSignal Shopify App settings.

Step 2. Welcome Message Setup

Welcome notifications are an optional way to thank users after subscribing to your site. Users will see a welcome notification as soon as they subscribe.
