Add an install prompt to Wix
To add an install prompt on Wix, paste the InstantPWA snippet into Custom Code panel via Dashboard → Settings → Custom Code → Add Custom Code. The popup captures the browser's native install signal where supported and falls back to a guided walkthrough on iOS Safari, so every visitor sees a clear path to installing your Wix site as an app.
Steps
- 1
Open Custom Code panel
Go to Dashboard → Settings → Custom Code → Add Custom Code.
- 2
Paste the InstantPWA snippet
Drop the one-line async script tag in the Wix head section — no build step or dependency install.
- 3
Configure the trigger
In your InstantPWA dashboard, set when the popup appears — on page load, after N seconds, or after a scroll/engagement threshold.
- 4
Publish
Save/publish in Wix so the change goes live — most builders require an explicit publish step before custom code runs.
- 5
Verify on a phone
Open your live Wix URL on a mobile device (not the editor preview) to confirm the popup renders.
Constraints to know
- Custom Code requires a Business or VIP (or Studio) plan — Wix's free and Combo/Unlimited plans don't expose the panel.
- Custom code never runs in the Wix Editor preview, only on the published site, so you must publish before testing.
FAQ
Does the install prompt work on iOS Wix visitors?+
iOS Safari never fires the native beforeinstallprompt event, so InstantPWA shows a share-sheet walkthrough instead — visitors still get a clear add-to-home-screen path.
Will this conflict with other scripts on my site?+
No — InstantPWA is a single first-party async script with no third-party dependencies, so it doesn't block or compete with analytics or chat widgets.
Do I need to touch anything else in Wix besides Dashboard?+
No — the head snippet is the only integration point; InstantPWA hosts the manifest and service worker for you.
