Set up Web Push

In this article, we'll explain how to set up Web Push. 
Web Push setups allow you to link Brevo to your website. This way, you'll be able to manage your Web Push campaigns from Brevo to your website. 

The goal of this step is also to enable the browser opt-in for clients. If clients allow the opt-in, they will receive your Web Push Notifications when they visit your website.

    ❗️ Important
    The link you add must be your website homepage's link, not any other page. 
    Your website URL should follow one of these formats:
    https://site.com/ ; https://www.site.com/ ; https://subdomain.site.com/
  3. Change your Company's logo if you wish to.
    Your company logo will appear on your Web Push Notifications. 
  4. Click Save the info. 

Step 2: Tracker setup

❗️ Important
If you use Shopify or WordPress for your website, steps 2 and 3 are not necessary. All you have to do is to install the Brevo Shopify or WordPress plugins. 
For WordPress users, enable SIB tracker after installing the plugin for Web Push setup completion.mceclip0.pngTo learn more about Shopify and WordPress plugins, check our dedicated articles Shopify plugin - Installation and setup and WordPress plugin - Installation and setup. 

This step consists of installing a tracker, the tracker links your website to Brevo.

  1. Choose an installation option.
    There are three options to set up your website:
    • JS Trackers
