Magento 2 PWA Install Prompt: visitors add your shop to their home screen
With the Magento 2 PWA install prompt from Mironsoft, you show visitors at the right moment that your shop can sit on their home screen like an app. On Android the prompt triggers the browser install dialog, on the iPhone it explains the two required steps. The Magento 2 PWA Install Prompt appears only when it makes sense, not on every page view, and is controlled by frequency limits. The interface runs with Alpine.js in the Hyvä theme, without an extra library.
Trigger installation
On supported browsers one click opens the install dialog, on iOS a step-by-step guide appears.
Frequency limits
Show again after X days, at most Y times, much less often after a dismissal.
Mobile only
Optionally limited to smartphones and tablets, hidden on desktop.
Already installed
Detects standalone mode and then shows no prompt at all.
Texts per store view
Maintain headline, description and buttons per language in the admin.
Why a Magento 2 PWA Install Prompt brings more returning visitors
Many shops deliver a web app manifest, yet hardly any visitor knows the shop can be installed. The browser often shows its own hint not at all, or at an awkward time. Merchants therefore look for a Magento 2 PWA install prompt, an add-to-home-screen banner or a way to offer app installation without being pushy.
The Magento 2 PWA Install Prompt takes control: it catches the browser install event, waits for a suitable moment and shows a discreet bar in your shop design. Whoever declines is not asked again and again. Whoever agrees has your shop on the home screen with one tap.
Magento 2 PWA Install Prompt as a discreet bar at the screen edge
The bar appears at the bottom of the screen and covers neither the cart button nor the navigation. It contains your shop icon, a short headline and two buttons: Install and Later. Position, colours and texts are set in the admin; the styling uses the Tailwind classes of your Hyvä theme. If you prefer, the bar can be replaced by a small header icon that permanently invites visitors to install.
- Bar at the bottom or top, colours from the theme
- Buttons Install and Later, close icon
- Alternatively a permanent header icon
Explaining installation on iPhone and Android properly
Android browsers provide an install event that the prompt catches and triggers on click. The iPhone has no such interface; there the module shows a short guide with the steps share icon and Add to Home Screen. The module detects the device and shows only the matching text. If the manifest or a service worker is missing, the prompt stays off automatically so nobody is offered an installation that would not work.
- Install dialog on Android with one click
- Step-by-step guide on iOS
- Automatically off if manifest or service worker is missing
Controlling frequency and timing of the PWA install prompt
You define after how many page views or seconds the prompt appears, how many days pass after a click on Later and how often it is shown in total. Whoever explicitly closes the bar does not see it for much longer. The state is stored in the visitor's browser; legal review for your shop stays with the shop owner. Checkout, cart and customer account can be excluded.
- Minimum number of page views or seconds
- Pause days after Later and after closing
- Exclude page types, for example checkout
Tracking the effect of the prompt in the admin
The module counts anonymously how often the prompt was shown, clicked, declined and completed. You see the numbers in a small admin overview, split by Android and iOS. That tells you whether text and timing work, and you can adjust both. No personal data is stored, only counters per day and store view.
- Counters for display, click, dismissal, installation
- Breakdown by device type and store view
- No personal data
Where the Magento 2 PWA Install Prompt helps day to day
Typical situations for shops with a high share of mobile traffic.
Retaining regular customers
Whoever reorders regularly starts the shop from the home screen instead of searching for it.
Campaigns and newsletters
Visitors from emails and ads see the Magento 2 PWA Install Prompt on the second page view, not on first contact.
Field sales and B2B
Sales staff keep the ordering area as an app and order faster on the road.
Seasonal shops
At peak times the Magento 2 PWA Install Prompt promotes app installation, off season it stays hidden.

Differences to manifest, service worker and header notices
The module creates neither a manifest nor a service worker; it requires both and takes care only of the invitation to install. The Magento 2 PWA Install Prompt therefore does not replace a PWA foundation, it makes it visible.
It differs from general header notices through device-specific logic and frequency control. All modules can be combined.
