Safari Push Notifications
PushAlert is one of the very few Web Push Notification services that work with Safari and we have made the integration process as painless as possible. Once you have completed the Safari configuration, your visitors using a MacBook, iMac or any other MacOS/OSX running device will be shown a prompt to 'Allow' notifications from your website in Safari. You will then be able to share updates, content and offers with a new user-base and drive more revenue with this targeted audience. For push notifications on iOS Safari browser follow our guide here.
Pushing Notifications on Safari Browser
Push Notifications on Safari are delivered in real-time as well without the website or browser being open. Moreover, thanks to APNS integration, your notification will continue living in the MacOS Notification Center. So, even if the push notification was dismissed, it will remain available for maximum chances of interaction.
How to get Push Notifications to work on Safari on Mac OS?
STEP 1: Add PushAlert Code to your Website
As for other browser, first you need to add our code to your website. You can find the integration code either during the initial setup process or in the "Integrate" section of the Dashboard. Just copy the code to the <head> section and you are all set. If your website runs on Wordpress or Joomla we have plugins for those and an extensive guide on Magento integration, just follow the steps in the Integrate section.
Step 2: Configure Welcome Notification
While not a requirement, we recommend enabling welcome notifications. These are delivered automatically as soon as a user subscribers. It helps foster a bond with your subscriber, showing appreciation and also gives you the chance of immediate engagement with an offer or popular content.
