Why a PWA (not another native app store download)
Progressive Web Apps install from the browser, update instantly, and work on iOS and Android without waiting on app review. For ops tooling, that means every staff phone can be live the same day you install the plugin.
After you open the app
- Sign in with Google (free)
- Use Add to Home Screen (iOS: Share → Add to Home Screen)
- In WordPress → Order Alerts, scan the store pairing QR (or paste the token)
- Allow notifications when prompted
The QR above opens woocommerce.orderalerts.app — the free app itself. The QR inside WordPress is different: it pairs your store to that app.
What you get
- Push-style alerts for new orders
- Live order details in the app
- Multi-device: owner + warehouse + CS can each pair
- Same free forever promise as the extension
