Get alerts on your iPhone or iPad

Add the Sold Elsewhere app to your Home Screen and turn on notifications, so sales reach your lock screen even when your computer is off.

Your phone gets the same alerts as the extension: what sold, the bin, and End links. It works on iOS / iPadOS 16.4 or newer.

1. Show the pairing code on your computer

In the extension: Setup → 📱 Alerts on your phone → Connect my phone. A QR code and an 8-character code appear. The code works for 30 minutes.

2. Open the app on your iPhone

Point the iPhone Camera at the QR code and tap the link, or open Safari and go to soldelsewhere.com/app.

3. Add it to your Home Screen (required on iPhone)

Apple only allows notifications for web apps on the Home Screen.

  1. In Safari, tap the Share button (square with an arrow).
  2. Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen, then Add.
  3. Close Safari and open Sold Elsewhere from your Home Screen.
