Push Monkey Pro – Web Push Notifications and WooCommerce Abandoned Cart Plugin

Send push notifications directly to your readers’ mobiles and desktops when new content is fresh from the oven.

Why Push Monkey?

Increased Engagement

Readers can be informed about your content at all times: when reading other websites or while working in other apps, with the browser closed. Even when the computer is not active – it displays all missed notifications the moment it wakes up. For Chrome, notifications can also include an image.

Native

Your readers don’t have to install any additional apps or plugins. They just accept receiving notifications from your website and presto!

Granular Filtering

Easily decide and control for what type of content to send out notifications. Filter by custom post type and by category for standard posts. No content clutter around here!

Segmentation & Geolocation

Define segments of interest for your subscribers. This will allow you to know what your subscribers are interested in and where they are from so you can provide relevant notifications.

Automatic

By default, push notifications are sent automatically when you publish a new post. This workflow doesn’t sound cool? No worries, we have a more granular filtering and custom push notifications.

Statistics

The plugin provides essential usage and engagement data available directly in your WordPress dashboard so you can create the best experience for your subscribers.

Super fast setup. Zero coding required

Fast and easy to set up and no coding or API configuration required. The monkeys do all the pushing so you can focus on your content and readers.

WooCommerce Integration

Remind your visitors about abandoned carts with our WooCommerce integration.

No Monkey Business

Sending notifications on a big and reliable scale is not trivial, but our solid high-availability cloud back-end has already delivered millions of notifications…and it’s not stopping here.

NOTE:
Currently for Chrome 43 and above, Safari from OS X Mavericks (and newer) and Firefox 44 and above, Windows, MacOS and Android.

This plugin connects the WordPress API with the Push Monkey server (getpushmonkey.com) – server which actually delivers the notifications. An FREE account on getpushmonkey.com is required, no credit card needed. Don’t worry, you can setup an account faster than you can say ba-na-na.
