Push Notifications (OneSignal integration)

A powerful mobile-first communication channel that can increase your store's user engagement like never before.

What are push notifications?

Push notifications are small, pop-up messages sent to users' devices from your mobile app, and can be viewed from the device lock screen when an app isn't currently in use.

What's special about push notifications is that they are designed to capture users' attention in real-time, and often trigger immediate engagement. Therefore, they can be used to convey reminders, updates, promotions, and more.

How to integrate push notifications into your app?

1. Setting up your app in your OneSignal account

Our push notifications are powered by OneSignal, so you'll need to have a OneSignal account first to use this feature. Don't have one? Don't worry, you can create a free OneSignal account any time here for UNLIMITED number of push notifications!

After logging in, click New App/Website to start setting up your app. Or if you need us to help you setup the app, feel free to contact us via in-app live chat or [e-mail].

Please note that to proceed with this step, you should already have sent your publish request to us & had us build at least one app version for you.

2. Get the OneSignal App ID

After creating OneSignal account & setting up your app, navigate to the app's Settings > Keys & IDs > OneSignal Keys. Copy OneSignal App ID and paste it into our Key field. Now you can start using push notifications for your app!

3. Enable the integration

Now, from SimiCart Mobile App Builder admin dashboard, access your app draft and navigate to Features > Push notifications. Paste the previously copied OneSignal App ID into Key field then click Save.
