Now Push Notify – web push notifications for iOS

Retain your iPhone site visitors using push notifications. Send updates using push notifications to your iOS website visitors.

To use this plugin you need an active plan on Now Push Notify.

Why do I need this plugin?

Web push notifications (browser notifications) are not supported by iOS devices, such as iPhone or iPad. Even if you use other services to send browser notifications, this is not possible for iOS. This plugin allows you to send push notifications to your iPhone/iPad visitors through our iOS App. Your visitors can easily subscribe: it takes only one tap to subscribe for push notifications if they have the Now Push Notify iOS app, installed or two taps if they don’t.

I am already sending newsletters, why sending push notifications?

Push notifications have a better engagement rate meaning a higher CTR, and using Now Push Notify your Push Notifications will be super easy to subscribe to – one tap is enough.

Why web push notifications for iOS?

Around 29% of site visitors from the USA are using iOS¹. That means that even if you are currently using browser notifications, you are missing almost 1/3 of your audience.

Did you know that recent study² by the University of Chicago found that there is a correlation between iPhone/iPad ownership and how wealth, namely no individual brand is as predictive of being high-income as owning an Apple iPhone? So, to send push notifications to iOS devices could prove very productive with a great ROI.
