Push Notifications

eCommerce

Push notifications are messages or alerts that are sent to a user’s device from a server or application, even when the user is not actively using the app. These notifications appear on the device’s home screen or notification center and can contain various types of information, such as news updates, reminders, promotional offers, or messages from friends.

Here is how push notifications typically work:

  1. Opt-in: Users must usually opt-in to receive push notifications from an app. This is typically done when they first install the app or when prompted within the app.

  2. Registration: When a user opts in, their device registers with a push notification service provided by the platform (such as Apple’s APNs for iOS devices or Google’s Firebase Cloud Messaging for Android devices).

  3. Sending Notifications: When an event occurs that triggers a notification (such as a new message, a reminder, or an update), the app’s server sends a request to the push notification service with the appropriate message and target audience.

  4. Delivery to Devices: The push notification service then delivers the notification to the intended devices. The service ensures that the notification reaches the correct device and appears on the user’s screen, even if the app is not currently open.

  5. Displaying Notifications: When the user’s device receives the notification, it displays an alert, badge, or banner (depending on the platform and user settings). The user can then interact with the notification by tapping on it to open the app or perform another action.
