Setup Pushpad

Overview & Purpose:

Pushpad offers a web push notification service; it is the easiest way to add push notifications to websites and web apps. Push notifications are delivered to you even when you are not on the website. Pushpad supports all major browsers and uses W3C Push API for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera, and the Apple Push Notification service for Safari.

By using Pushpad you can receive notification from the browser even when you are not on the OnPrintShop page in the browser.
