We have received a lot of requests from YouPay creators who wanted push notifications to appear on their devices when they are gifted.
Normally this would require us to build out an entire app, submit it to the app store and have it approved / rejected by Apple or Google.
To solve for this and get push notifications working, we have created what is known as a PWA App. PWA means "Progressive Web App" meaning its an app you can install from a website that for all effective purposes, looks and acts just like a "real app".
Here's how to get push notifications appearing on your chosen device:
Apple iPhone 1. Open the YouPay website (https://youpay.me) in your preferred browser on your phone. Let's use Safari for this example but it also works fine in Chrome. 2. With the youpay.me website on screen, click the Share Icon.3. Scroll down to and click on "Add to Home Screen"
4. Click "Add" on the "Add to Home Screen" interface.
5. You will now have a YouPay app on your home screen that looks and works just like a regular app.
6. Open this new YouPay app and login to your YouPay account 7. Navigate to Settings >> Notification Settings by clicking on your avatar in top right 8. Click the Enable Push Notifictions button.
When you are gifted you will now receive a push notification on your iPhone.
Android / Google Phones 1. Open the YouPay website (https://youpay.me) in your preferred browser on your phone. Let's use Chrome for this example. 2. With the youpay.me website on screen click the three dots in the top right corner. 3. Click "Add to home screen" (note: if you cannot see "Add to home screen" you will see "Install App")4. Click the "Add" or "Install" button 5. You will now have a YouPay app on your home screen that looks and works just like a regular app. 6. Open this new YouPay app and login to your YouPay account 7. Navigate to Settings >> Notification Settings by clicking on your avatar in top right 8. Click the Enable Push Notifictions button.
When you are gifted you will now receive a push notification on your Android / Google Phone.
