Notifications: switching pushes on
A deal here is a conversation between two real people. Notifications keep it from turning into a week of waiting: they show order status and new messages while things can still be sorted out.
Why deals fall apart without them
Notifications here aren’t marketing — they’re how you avoid keeping someone waiting. A failed deal almost always looks the same: one side replied three days later, by which time the other had already found someone else.
Nothing extra sneaks in: notifications are tied to your orders, messages and subscriptions, while news and promotions are a separate type you can switch off on its own.
What actually arrives
Five types of notification. Each can be turned on or off on its own in your profile settings.
Order status
Picking, agreeing terms, shipping, confirming delivery.
Direct messages
Buyer questions and seller answers from the site chat.
Reviews
When someone reviews a deal with you, or your review goes live.
Card subscriptions
A card you’re waiting for went on sale or dropped in gacha.
Contests and news
Events, sales and site updates. Switched off separately.
Fine-tuning lives in profile → Settings → Notifications: that’s where you mute noisy group chats while keeping direct messages.
How to turn them on
Half a minute and one system dialog.
- Press “Turn on notifications” The button at the top of this page — it also shows your current state.
- Allow it in the browser dialog The browser draws that window; the site has no say in it. The answer you need is Allow.
- Check with a test “Send a test” delivers a real notification to this device.
- Keep only what you need Profile → Settings → Notifications is where extra types get switched off.
Permission is granted per browser and per device: turning it on for your phone doesn’t turn it on for your computer.
Install the app
The site installs like a normal app — straight from the browser, no app stores. It isn’t a shortcut: its own icon, its own window, its own notifications.
On iPhone there’s no other way
Safari only sends notifications from a site added to the Home Screen.
They work with the browser closed
The app doesn’t need an open tab — notifications arrive like they would from a messenger.
Its own window and session
An icon on your screen, no tabs, and no signing in again.
- Open the site in Chrome Any Chromium browser works — Edge, Samsung Internet, Yandex.
- Menu “⋮” → “Install app” In some browsers the item is called “Add to Home screen”.
- Open it from the icon and turn notifications on Inside the app, come back to this page and press “Turn on notifications”.
- Open the site in Safari Chrome and Firefox on iPhone can’t install it — only Safari can.
- Share → Add to Home Screen The Share button is the square with an arrow, at the bottom of the screen.
- Open it from the icon and turn notifications on Permission is asked inside the installed app — asking in the browser won’t work.
iOS 16.4 or newer is required. Older versions don’t deliver web notifications at all — the Telegram bot is the fallback there.
- Open the site in Chrome or Edge Firefox does notifications but won’t install the app.
- Click the install icon in the address bar It sits on the right, next to the bookmark star. Or menu “⋮” → “Install”.
- Allow notifications Once is enough — the app and the tab share the same permission.
When notifications don’t arrive
Nine causes that cover nearly every case. Start at the top — the status block above usually points at the right one.
I press “Turn on” and nothing happens
Most likely the permission was denied earlier — the browser won’t show the dialog a second time.
To unblock: the icon left of the address → “Notifications” → “Allow”, then reload the page. In Chrome on Android it’s under “⋮ → Site information → Permissions”.
Permission is granted but nothing arrives
Check the Push switch in profile → Settings → Notifications: it disables all site notifications regardless of the browser.
Below it are the individual types — “Direct messages” can be off on its own.
iPhone: nothing arrives
Two conditions: the site is added to the Home Screen and opened from that icon rather than from Safari, and iOS is 16.4 or newer.
Also check Focus and Do Not Disturb: in those modes notifications go to the summary instead of appearing right away.
Android: late or missing
Battery saving is almost always the cause. Open Settings → Apps → your browser (or WaifuCards) → Battery and choose “Unrestricted”.
On Xiaomi, Huawei, Oppo and Samsung also enable “Autostart”: without it the system unloads the app — and its notifications — from memory.
Desktop: nothing shows up
Windows: Settings → System → Notifications — make sure your browser is allowed and Focus Assist is off.
macOS: System Settings → Notifications → your browser → “Allow notifications”.
The browser has to be running, at least in the background.

Everything arrives except messages
If notifications aren’t an option
Browser notifications aren’t the only channel. Both options below work in parallel and are configured in the same place.
Link your account in settings and enable the Telegram channel — the bot will message you directly. A solid option for older iPhones and for anyone who won’t install apps.
A backup channel: if a message goes unanswered for long, the site sends a reminder by mail. It won’t replace order notifications — it’s slower.
Turn them on now — half a minute
One click here saves you from “I didn’t know they replied” for every order that follows.
