How to Set Up Favi: Favicon Tab Animation

Favi: Favicon Tab Animation helps you re-engage inactive visitors and recover abandoned carts using eye-catching browser tab animations. When users navigate away from your store tab, Favi replaces the default favicon and tab title with a custom animated message that encourages them to return and complete their purchase.


  • Open and enable the Favi app


First, you need to activate the Favi app in your dashboard. This is a crucial step to get started.


  • Customize the Animation Message


In the settings panel, locate the “Animation Text” field.

Enter the message you’d like to display when users leave your store tab.


Example: “Hey! Don’t forget your cart 🛒


  • Choose When the Animation Appears


Select one of the following triggers:


When the tab becomes inactive (default option)

When there are items in the cart

Always active


  • Select an Animation Type


Choose between two engaging effects:

Typewriter Effect – your text appears letter by letter.

Blinking Text Effect – your message flashes for attention.


  • Save and Preview Changes


Click Save Settings to apply your changes.

Open your storefront in a new browser tab and switch away to test the animation in action.




By completing these steps and saving your settings, you’ll be able to make full use of Favi’s favicon animations to re-engage visitors, recover abandoned carts, and boost overall store engagement. If you need further assistance, our support team is always here to help.
