Good Web Push Notifications, But Only For Shopify
What do you like best?
If compared to some other web push notification services, PushOwl focuses primarily on e-commerce websites. I really like its automatic feature, instead of having to create campaigns and schedules manually, PushOwl works automatically. I just need to create automation campaign 1 time only, then when the conditions are met, PushOwl will send notification automatically. For example when the product is back in stock or price drop.
Another very useful feature is the abandoned cart reminders. I used to send abandoned cart reminders in the past via email, but the open rate on emails is quite low. So I switched to push notification with PushOwl, the clickthrough rate increased significantly, helping me recover a lot of abandoned checkouts. Most importantly, all those features work automatically. I just need to set it up once and forget it.
In the past I used to be rarely interested in push notifications, because integrating into the website was not simple. However, when using PushOwl, I had a different look, its interface is very simple and easy to use, integrated into my Shopify store very quickly, it took me less than 1 day to install up everything. I regret that I didn't do this earlier.
What do you dislike?
I was unable to remove PushOwl's branding from my website, even though I had to pay $19/month for the business plan. Their website also does not mention about this issue. Only when I contact their customer service, they said that I have to upgrade to a higher plan (enterprise) to be able to remove the branding. This is not reasonable for me, just because I want to remove branding, I have to upgrade to enterprise at a very high price and unnecessary for my needs.
The biggest problem with PushOwl is that it only supports websites on Shopify platform. This is also the reason why I no longer use PushOwl. Recently, due to work demands, I have moved to another platform (woocommerce), although I really want to use PushOwl but cannot because it does not support any platform other than Shopify.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
PushOwl helps me recover a lot of abandoned cart, the recovery rate of PushOwl (around 10%) is much higher than using email. I am quite satisfied when using it for my website. However, currently I do not use it anymore because I have moved the website to another platform (WooCommerce) and PushOwl does not support this platform. If you are using Shopify and need a good automation push notification, I strongly recommend PushOwl.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
I use PushOwl for my e-commerce website, in order to recover abandoned carts. The rate of abandoned carts on my website is quite high, I used to send notification reminders via email before, but it didn't work. Since using PushOwl, I have recovered quite a lot of abandoned carts. I am quite satisfied with it.
