PushRelay – Push Notifications

Send web push notifications to bring visitors back to your WordPress site.

M. Tuhin

CodeSolz

Ultimate Push Notifications is the most complete, privacy-friendly push notification solution for WordPress websites. Powered by Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) SDK v11, it delivers real-time alerts directly to your visitors’ browsers — on desktop and mobile — even when they are not on your site.
No SMS bills. No email list dependency. Just instant, reliable push notifications that actually reach people.
<blockquote>
Push notifications have 4x higher open rates than email. Keep your customers, community members, and team informed the moment something happens — for free.
</blockquote>
<h4>Why Choose Ultimate Push Notifications?</h4>
Most push notification services charge a monthly fee per subscriber. This plugin uses Google Firebase (free tier is generous for most sites) and keeps everything under your control. Your subscriber data stays in your own database. You own your audience.
<h4>Real Problems This Plugin Solves</h4>
For WooCommerce Store Owners: 
You’re losing sales because customers have no idea their order shipped, their payment failed, or their order is ready. And your vendors have no idea someone just bought from them. This plugin fixes all of that — with instant push alerts for every order event.
For BuddyPress / Community Sites: 
Your community members miss friend requests, new messages, group invites, and activity updates because they’re not watching their inbox. Push notifications bring them back the moment something happens — without email fatigue.
For Site Administrators: 
You need to know the instant a form is submitted, a new user registers, or an event goes live. Real-time push notifications to your browser mean you’re always in the loop, even if your email is buried.
For All Sites: 
Instead of paying for SMS alerts or high-volume email plans, this plugin lets you communicate in real time for free — using the same infrastructure Google uses for Android notifications.
<h4>Key Features</h4>

<h4>How It Works</h4>
<ol>
<li>You create a free Firebase project at <a href="https://console.firebase.google.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">console.firebase.google.com</a></li>
<li>Enter your Firebase config and VAPID key in the plugin’s App Config screen</li>
<li>Users visit your site and click Allow on the browser permission prompt</li>
<li>Their device is registered — push notifications start flowing instantly</li>
</ol>
No app stores. No app to install. Works in Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari (with Web Push support), and most modern browsers.
<h4>Security</h4>
<ul>
<li>FCM server key is stored server-side only — never exposed to browser JavaScript</li>
<li>All user inputs are sanitized through WordPress standards</li>
<li>AJAX endpoints use nonce verification (SECURE_AUTH_SALT)</li>
<li>Capability checks enforce admin-only access to sensitive settings</li>
<li>VAPID key authentication ensures only your server can send notifications</li>
</ul>
<h4>Requirements</h4>
<ul>
<li>WordPress 5.0 or higher</li>
<li>PHP 7.4 or higher</li>
<li>SSL (HTTPS) required — browsers block push notification registration on non-secure sites</li>
<li>A free Firebase account at <a href="https://console.firebase.google.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">console.firebase.google.com</a></li>
<li>Firebase VAPID key (Web Push Certificate) from your Firebase project settings</li>
</ul>
<h4>Multi-Device & Testing</h4>
<ul>
<li>One user can register multiple browsers / devices</li>
<li>For testing: use different browsers or incognito windows logged in as different users</li>
<li>Use the Register My Device page to register your own device and test with one click</li>
</ul>
<h4>Getting Started (Quick Setup)</h4>
<ol>
<li>Install and activate the plugin</li>
<li>Go to UPush Notifier → App Config</li>
<li>Create a Firebase project and paste your config (apiKey, authDomain, projectId, etc.)</li>
<li>Paste your VAPID Key (from Firebase Console → Project Settings → Cloud Messaging → Web Push certificates → Generate key pair)</li>

<li>Send a test notification — you should receive it instantly</li>
