Browser Tab Messages
Browser Tab Messages are a subtle but effective way to regain a visitor’s attention when they navigate away from your site. This feature temporarily replaces your site’s browser tab title with a custom message — drawing the user’s eye back and increasing the chances of re-engagement.
What It Does
When enabled, this feature shows rotating messages in the browser tab if the user switches to a different tab or minimizes the window. This grabs attention and can be used to:
Remind users they left something behind
Create urgency
Reinforce a promotional message
If no custom messages are set, your default store name (as set in Shopify) will be shown in the tab as usual.
🔧 How to Use It
Enable Browser Tab Messages
Toggle this setting ON to activate the feature. Once active, your tab title will change automatically when a visitor leaves the site tab.
Browser Tab Primary Message
Example:
plaintextCopyEdit👋 Still there? Check this out!This is the first message displayed in the browser tab when the user becomes inactive. Use it to say hello, tease content, or simply grab attention in a friendly tone.
Emojis are supported but optional. Keep the message short and direct.
Browser Tab Secondary Message
Example:
plaintextCopyEdit🚨 Exclusive deal waiting for you!This is the second message shown shortly after the primary one. Use it to add urgency or create curiosity — e.g., hinting at a time-limited discount, new arrival, or free shipping offer.
✅ Best Practices
Keep your messages short (under 50 characters)
Use simple language and casual tone
Add emojis if it fits your brand — but don’t overdo it
Try different combos like:
“Forgot something?” + “Cart is still here 👀”
“Still browsing?” + “🔥 Limited deal active now!”
Browser Tab Messages are a small touch — but they help bring people back. Use them wisely to re-engage visitors and reduce bounce from tab-switching distractions.
