# PingLane

PingLane is a web push notification app for Shopify stores. It helps merchants turn anonymous visitors into browser push subscribers, then bring those shoppers back with cart recovery, browse reminders, welcome messages, price-drop alerts, back-in-stock alerts, scheduled reminders, and targeted one-time campaigns.

PingLane is available on the Shopify App Store:
https://apps.shopify.com/pinglane

## What PingLane does

PingLane lets Shopify merchants collect push notification subscribers from their storefront and send browser notifications that bring shoppers back to the store. Shoppers subscribe by allowing notifications in their browser. After that, the store can reach those subscribers even when they are not currently browsing the site.

PingLane supports Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Samsung Internet across major desktop and mobile platforms.

## How it works

1. Install PingLane from the Shopify App Store.
2. Approve the Shopify connection. No code changes are required.
3. Set up permission prompts so visitors can opt in to push notifications.
4. Customize automations such as cart recovery, browse reminders, welcome notifications, price-drop alerts, and back-in-stock alerts.
5. Track views, clicks, click-through rate, attributed revenue, and subscriber growth.

## Main homepage sections

### Browser compatibility

PingLane works across major browsers. Shoppers allow notifications once, then store messages can land directly in their browser.

Supported browser families include:

- Chrome
- Firefox
- Safari
- Edge
- Samsung Internet

### Go live in under 5 minutes

The setup flow is designed to be fast:

- Install from Shopify
- Set up permission prompts
- Customize automations
- Track every conversion

Installation is free, no credit card is required, and the free plan includes every feature.

### Campaign and notification builder

PingLane lets merchants compose push notifications with:

- Title
- Message body
- Landing URL
- Subscriber audience
- Delivery timing
- Browser/device preview

Notification URLs can include campaign tracking parameters. Merchants can send immediately, schedule for later, or use reminders and automations.

### Segments

Segments help merchants send messages to specific subscriber audiences instead of everyone.

Example segment logic can include:

- Subscriber location such as country, region, or city
- Browser and device type
- Engagement history such as viewed, clicked, sent, or purchased
- Purchase-specific filters such as purchased a selected product
- Time windows such as within the last 7 days

Segments are automatically synced and show estimated subscribers.

### Reminders

Reminders are scheduled notifications that can be sent once or repeated.

Examples include:

- Weekly sale recap
- Drop day countdown
- Daily best-seller reminder

Recurring reminders can run daily, weekly, monthly, or on another configured schedule depending on the dashboard setup.

### Subscriber growth analytics

PingLane shows subscriber growth and audience breakdowns by location, browser, and device. Merchants can use this to understand where their push audience is coming from.

### Automation flow builder

PingLane supports automated push notification sequences. A typical cart recovery sequence can start when a cart is abandoned, send a push after a delay, and send a follow-up only if the shopper still has not converted.

### Performance reporting

PingLane reports:

- Sent notifications
- Views
- Clicks
- Click-through rate
- Revenue attributed to push notifications

Revenue attribution helps merchants understand which notifications lead to purchases.

## Built-in automations

PingLane includes automation flows across the shopper journey.

### Acquisition

#### Welcome Notifications

Triggered the moment a visitor subscribes. Welcome notifications help start the subscriber relationship immediately and can include follow-up messages with custom delays.

### Consideration

#### Browse Reminder

Triggered after a shopper views a product and leaves without taking action. Browse reminders bring shoppers back to products they recently viewed.

#### Price Drop Alert

Triggered when a product a shopper opted into drops in price. Shoppers opt in through a product-page widget.

### Conversion

#### Cart Recovery

Triggered when a shopper abandons a cart. Cart recovery pushes remind subscribers about products left in the cart and can include timed follow-ups.

#### Back in Stock

Triggered when an out-of-stock item a shopper opted into becomes available again. PingLane notifies subscribers as soon as inventory returns.

## Permission prompt designer

PingLane includes a visual designer for web push permission prompts. Merchants can start from pre-built templates and customize the design so the opt-in prompt matches the store.

Prompt styles include:

- Toast
- Corner card
- Safari banner
- Safari classic
- Safari modern

Prompt customization can include:

- Brand colors
- Prompt copy
- Device targeting
- Browser targeting
- URL targeting
- Location targeting
- Timing and frequency rules

## Pricing and plans

PingLane is designed so every plan includes every feature. The main difference between plans is monthly web push send volume.

The free Starter plan includes every feature with a limited number of sends each month. No credit card is required to install from the Shopify App Store.

Merchants can upgrade when they need more send volume. Billing is handled through Shopify.
