Why Should You Use Push Notifications on TransferXO?
It’s a fact that adding push notifications into TransferXO may highly boost the engagement rate and retention of users because this channel of communication lets them inform users who don’t actively use the app. The following are several encouraging reasons to include push notifications:
1. Increased User Engagement
Push notifications remind users about the application and give them a reason to open it. If users receive push notifications within their first 90 days, then they are three times more likely to continue using an app compared to users that receive no notifications at all. Thus, having consistent engagement helps maintain user interest and activity.
2. Higher Conversion Rates
Push notifications will efficiently drive conversions by way of offering timely offers, reminders, or updates. For example, sending out notifications regarding limited-time promotions creates a sense of urgency in users, which encourages them to take action much faster. This is also one of the tools used in the recovery of abandoned carts through reminders of items left in their shopping baskets.
3. Personalized Communication
TransferXO will communicate better using messages that strike a chord in the heart of each user, by segregating them according to their usage habits and preference. In this type of personalization, the relevance of the notifications is better, hence the user is likely to interact with them.
4. Real-Time Updates
Push notifications allow TransferXO to inform customers immediately of transactions in real time, such as confirmation of a payment or issuance status. Instant communication will help the customer experience by keeping clients up-to-date and reassured at every point of their application experience.
5. Cost-Effective Marketing
They have a higher open rate and engagement level compared to more traditional marketing channels, such as email. The message avoids the spamming filters and appears right on the users’ devices, meaning it will be seen sooner. Herein lies the big difference in making your marketing more effective regarding the question of ROI.
6. Better Customer Retention
It allows the building of a dedicated user base, as frequent use, push notifications, and notifications about new features, updates, or contents of the app can provide ongoing relationships that encourage long-term use.
In that sense, push notifications are not about sending messages, but building dynamic and interactive user experiences responsible for retention and conversion. Equipped with this powerful tool, TransferXO will definitely enhance the communication strategy to grow bigger business success.

What Credentials Are Required for Push Notifications?
Credentials and configurations for enabling push notifications on TransferXO depend mostly on the integration with the OS of the mobile, permission of the user, and so on. Here’s a breakdown of what is needed:
1. Mobile App Configuration
This feature can be enabled once a mobile app configuration is set up through the system. It will basically include creating a new configuration for a mobile application that already exists and is published in app stores, and should be linked to the TransferXO notification system.
2. Authentication Credentials
Push notifications require the provision of a number of different authentication credentials depending on the various platforms. You can do this with two ways for iOS: Using a Certificate or using a token to authenticate. In the first method, you will create a .p12 file and upload it on TransferXO. The second method requires the .p8 file for the signing key, the Key ID, Bundle ID, and Team ID.
For Android, you will be requiring an FCM server key to authenticate and send notifications via Firebase Cloud Messaging.
3. User Permissions
That is very important and necessary in both operating systems in terms of permission regarding push notifications from users. iOS asks for the permission to show notifications on a user’s first app-open, during which it asks, is mandatory, and can’t be skipped. While in Android, by default, all users are opted-in to receive notifications unless they go into the application settings and manually turn it off.
4. Device Registration
After setting up a mobile application and obtaining users’ permission, registration of the device for receiving push notifications needs to be done. This, in fact, means creating a link between unique identifiers of the devices with your application in the TransferXO system.
5. Interaction Reporting
Finally, there are reporting mechanisms that have to be set up, tracking interactions made with push notifications. That helps in analyzing user engagement and optimizing future notification strategies.
You can successfully put push notifications into place in TransferXO by following these steps, ensuring that all needed credentials and configurations are set.
