Frequently Asked Questions about pwa-storefront

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I make my headless storefront an installable PWA?▼

To make your headless storefront an installable PWA, you need a valid web manifest with a 512x512 maskable icon, a registered service worker, HTTPS, and a start_url responding with 200. This enables home screen installation and a native-app-like UX for mobile shoppers.

How do I cache Shopify catalog data for offline browsing with Workbox?▼

You can cache Shopify catalog data for offline browsing by registering a service worker using Workbox to cache catalogs, images, and API data. This approach preserves live cart data while allowing product collections to load offline during low connectivity.

Does a PWA service worker work with Next.js and WooCommerce?▼

Yes, PWA service workers work with Next.js and WooCommerce. The implementation applies to modern frontends like Next.js/Node.js integrating with common backends such as Shopify, WooCommerce, and Magento to cache catalogs and images.

What are the requirements to enable push notifications for order updates?▼

Enabling push notifications for order updates requires a registered service worker, HTTPS, and a valid web manifest. The service worker uses Workbox to manage caching while sending timely order status notifications to engage mobile shoppers.

Why does my PWA manifest need a maskable icon for installability?▼

Your PWA manifest needs a 512x512 maskable icon to ensure proper display across different device home screens and OS UI. Installability requires a valid web manifest containing this specific icon size, a registered service worker, and a responsive start_url.

What's the best way to preserve live cart data while caching product catalogs offline?▼

The best way to preserve live cart data while caching product catalogs offline is using a Workbox service worker. It selectively caches catalogs, images, and collections for offline browsing while excluding cart API requests to keep checkout data live.
