What is a PWA?

Progressive Web Apps bring together the usability of websites with the feel of native apps. Accessible straight from a browser, they load quickly, work offline, and offer a smooth, app-like user interface.

With full-screen support, push notifications, and background syncing, PWAs make mobile shopping more consistent and dependable—especially for stores built on Shopify.
