Have you recently visited a website and spotted that the color bar on the website is the same as the website's brand colors?

This can be achieved on the Safari and Chrome browse, matching the browser bar with you brand colours is a good way to keep your brand identity through the site.

Now you are probably thinking this would require a lot of code to pull off, luckily this is as easy as adding one line of HTML to the head section of your website and change the color to your choice.

<meta name="theme-color" content="#000">

With this setting your website has a subtle effect moving it a little step closer to a native app experience. You can also use it to extend your design, like our website.

The easiest way to add this HTML code to your site is by downloading the insert header and footers plugin and you can paste this code in the head section.

Changing status bar on Safari

On Safari only the status bar can be changed. If you choose 'black-translucent' it will float above the content, like a fixed position element in CSS.

Facebook and Instagram Shops are adding Shopify as a payment option which is estimated to increase conversion rates by 1.72x.

All merchants currently using Shopify to sell on Facebook and Instagram will now be able to offer an option for customers to pay with Shop Pay as a checkout option.

There are claims that using Shop Pay increases conversion 70% faster than a typical checkout.

In a study of 10,000 of the largest Shopify merchants with Shop Pay enabled it was found that checkouts going through Shop Pay have an average checkout-to-order rate of 1.72x higher than those going through regular checkouts.

With conversion rates like this, enabling Shop Pay can help improve your current conversion rate if your site has a large volume of abandoned carts on mobile.

How To Enable Shop Pay?

Shopify merchants can enable Shop Pay in a few simple steps:

  1. Inside your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Payments.
  2. In the Shopify Payments section, click Manage.
  3. In the ACCELERATED CHECKOUTS section, check Shop Pay.
  4. Click Save.

Now your customers can use Shop Pay to check out on your store. Shop Pay will automatically work in Facebook and Instagram if it’s enabled in your main Shopify store.
