This guide walks you through every step of building a push notification campaign in BeyondCart, from naming it to sending or scheduling delivery.

Make sure you have at least one push notification subscriber. You can check your subscriber count on the main dashboard under the Push Notification Metrics panel.

Navigate to Campaigns in the sidebar and click the Create Campaign button in the top-right corner. A new campaign editor opens.

Type a descriptive name in the Campaign Name field. This name is internal only—your users will not see it. Use something that helps you identify the campaign later, such as "Spring Sale 2026" or "New Arrivals March."

Enter the text that appears as the bold headline on the user's device. Keep it short and attention-grabbing—aim for under 50 characters so it displays fully on all devices.

Example: "Spring Sale — Up to 40% Off"

Add the supporting message body below the title. This is where you provide a bit more detail or a call to action. Aim for one to two concise sentences.

Example: "Shop new markdowns on your favorite styles. Ends Sunday."

Click the image upload area to add a rich media image that appears with your notification. The recommended size is 1024 × 512 pixels in JPEG or PNG format. Images make notifications more eye-catching and can significantly improve open rates.

Enter the button label that appears as the tappable action on the notification. Common choices include "Shop Now," "View Collection," "Get the Deal," or "Learn More."

Choose where the user lands when they tap the notification. Select a deep link target from the dropdown and provide any required details. See the Deep Links article for a full list of available targets.

Example: Select "Collection" and choose your "Spring Sale" collection.

Under the Include Segments section, choose one or more audience segments. Users who belong to at least one selected segment will receive the notification.

If you do not select any segments, the campaign targets all subscribers by default.

Under the Exclude Segments section, optionally select segments whose members should not receive this campaign. Any user who belongs to an excluded segment is removed from the audience, even if they also belong to an included segment.

Review the campaign summary panel on the right side of the editor. Confirm the title, message, image, deep link, and audience size all look correct.

You have three options:

Send Now — Delivers the campaign immediately to the targeted audience.

Schedule — Sets a future date and time for automatic delivery. See Scheduling Campaigns for details.

Save as Draft — Saves your work without sending. You can return to edit and send it later.
