The Rotating Browser Tab Title app automatically shows customized messages in a visitor's browser tab (rather than just showing the page title) when they click into another browser tab or into another program/app on their computer. You can have the tab title text rotate between up to 5 different messages (including emojis) every several seconds (as you define in the Settings). The mere fact that the tab title is changing will draw visitors' eyes to the tab. But you can also use this app to create a sense or urgency and/or offer a coupon code (promo code) to increase the likelihood of the visitor placing an order.
This app user guide is organized into 4 sections:
[Click here] to download the Rotating Browser Tab TItle app from the Shopify App Store. On this page, click the green 'Add app' button and then follow the prompts to add the app to your Shopify store. You'll see that our app includes a 7-day free trial before the first $2.99 monthly billing (which is processed by Shopify as part of your regular monthly Shopify subscription).
Shopify now requires that you authorize all apps to "interact" with your live theme. To do that, you'll need to launch Shopify Theme Editor (i.e. Customizer).
In your Shopify admin panel, navigate to the Online Store > Themes page. At the top of the page, you'll see a picture of your "live theme" (desktop version and mobile version). To launch the Theme Editor (i.e. Customizer), simply click the green 'Customize' button.
Within Shopify Theme Editor, in the top-left corner of the screen, click the 'App embeds' icon.
Now click the on/off toggle button to activate the 'Rotating Browser Tab Title' app.
Please note that if you ever change to a new theme, you will need to authorize the app (along with all of your other apps) again in your new theme.
All settings for this app are located on the app's Settings page. You do not need to activate any section/block in Shopify Theme Editor (i.e. theme customizer) in order for this app to work.
To access the app's Settings page, click on the 'Apps' link in the left menu of your Shopify admin panel.
In the pop-up that appears, select 'Rotating Browser Tab Title'. By default, you'll be located on the app's Dashboard page. To go to the Settings page, click the 'Settings' link either below the 'Rotating Browser Tab Title' app listing under 'Apps' OR across the top of the page.
