The welcome push notification is sent automatically to new subscribers right after they allow push notifications on your store. It is your first touchpoint with a new subscriber — a great opportunity to make a good impression and encourage a purchase.
How it works
- A visitor arrives at your store and sees the push notification prompt (auto-prompt or sign-up box)
- The visitor clicks Allow to subscribe
- Firepush instantly sends a welcome push notification with your customized message
Welcome messages are only sent to new subscribers. If an existing subscriber revisits your store, they will not receive a duplicate welcome message.
Message personalization
Welcome push notifications support the [shop] variable to insert your store name into the message. Learn more about message variables
How to set up
- Go to the Automations section in your Firepush dashboard
- Enable the Welcome push notification
- Customize the title, description, and icon
- Save your settings
No additional configuration is needed — welcome notifications are triggered automatically by the embed script on your store.
Tips
- Use the welcome message to offer a discount code or free shipping to encourage a first purchase
- Add a countdown timer with a limited-time discount to drive urgency for first-time buyers
- Keep the message warm and on-brand
- Link the notification to a product page, new arrivals, or a special offer
