Getting Started: Onboarding Guide for PWA – Mobile App Builder

Welcome to our PWA app

Turn your Shopify store into an installable mobile app in just a few simple steps. This guide walks you through the full onboarding process with helpful visuals.


  1. Step 0 : Welcome Screen

Once you install the app, you’ll see a welcome screen introducing you to mobile commerce growth stats and giving you two actions:

  • Start: Begin the setup process.

Chat with Us: Connect with our team if you want to publish a fully native app to the App Store or Play Store.

  1. Step 1: Add App Logo & Name

Upload your store’s logo and choose a name for your app. This branding is used in the install prompt and on the customer’s device when they install your app.

  1. Step 2 : Install Prompt Configuration

Define how your app install prompt will appear to customers. This prompt appears when a first-time visitor lands on your store (and hasn't installed the app yet).

You’ll configure:

  • Title (e.g., Install Our App)
  • Description (e.g., Shop faster and never miss a deal)
  • Install Button Text (e.g., Install )
  • iOS Instructions (e.g., Install our app : Tap icon, scroll down and then [+] Add to Home Screen )

  1. Step 3: Enable Web Push Notifications (Optional)

Enable push notifications to engage your customers even after they leave your site.

You can use this to:

  • Sending Welcome notifications
  • Remind about abandoned carts
  • Share promotions and updates

  1. Step 4: Activate App Embed

To make your app live on your store, you must enable the app embed from Shopify’s theme settings.

Steps:

  1. Go to Online Store → Themes → Customize.
  2. Click App Embeds in the left panel.
  3. Enable the Enable PWA toggle.
  4. Click Save.

Perfect! You are all done!

Enjoy the app and please do reach out in case of any questions or issues.
