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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 )
- 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
- 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:
- Go to Online Store → Themes → Customize.
- Click App Embeds in the left panel.
- Enable the Enable PWA toggle.
- Click Save.
Perfect! You are all done!
Enjoy the app and please do reach out in case of any questions or issues.
