Add-On By Webkul: Progressive Web Application

Hello, Friends!

We are glad to launch the add-on Progressive Web Application for your CS-Cart and MultiVendor stores. Progressive Web Apps (PWA) are the next big thing and one of the most talked about technology shifts in the web development which bring mobile-app-like experiences to your users without requiring them to install an app from the app store/ play store. Since the majority of online shopping traffic comes from mobile, these characteristics make PWAs the perfect solution for retailers trying to drive engagement and revenue.

So we have launched a PWA add-on for your CS-Cart stores. With which you can allow the users to add your site to home-screen from the mobile browser. After adding, it acts and feels like an application. This way just by installing and configuring the addon, store admin can launch Progressive Web Application with the support of push notifications.

Work with your push notifications addon?

Work with your push notifications addon?

Push Notification feature is provided within the PWA add-on which sends push notifications on mobile. Though It should work with our Web Push Notification add-on as well.

Can we disable push for pwa addon , and use your push addon? Coz your addon support safari etc

I see it only supports two browsers currently. When do you expect to get a full version released?
