๐ฏ What is Salla App Maker?
Salla App Maker is a service for designing a professional mobile app for your store through a few simple steps. You choose what the app looks like and what it shows, and Salla handles the build, the publishing, and the ongoing technical work behind it.
โ Why build your store's app with Salla?
Your app runs on phones and tablets alike, and it is written in the official native languages for iOS and Android. Native code is what gives your customers the speed and browsing quality they expect from an app, and it means you never have to deal with developers to get there.
Salla supports you from the day your app is created, not just at launch:
1. A team available around the clock to back you up.
2. A developer account of your own on the app stores, which gives you:
- Full ownership and control of the app.
- Access to the app's statistics and data, so your marketing decisions are based on real numbers.
- The ability to reply to customer comments and questions in the reviews inbox.
- The ability to upload screenshots that match your own store design.
3. Monthly subscription and renewal, plus an annual subscription option with automatic renewal.
๐ก Why does my store need an app?
1. An app keeps you in touch with your customers 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
2. It gives customers a direct line to whatever you are promoting. A notification lands on their phone, so what you have to say actually reaches them.
3. It builds an immediate, direct relationship with your customers and earns their loyalty. They find the exact product they are looking for quickly, and buying it is simple.
4. It adds another customer service channel. The more contact your customers have with you, the more real your business feels to them.
5. Every download, question, and purchase adds to what you know about that customer. You can use that to target ads and recommend products based on what they bought before.
๐ What you get with a store app from Salla
- Customers order straight from the app instead of hunting for your store link in your social accounts.
- You design the app around your own brand, so it looks like no other store.
- You control the app interface by choosing which elements and screens appear in it.
- You can update the app interface at any time without submitting an update to the app store.
- Continuous support and new app updates, the same way Salla handles the platform.
- A polished user experience that is genuinely different from opening your site in a mobile browser.
- Order notifications sent to customers in the app as they happen.
- Simplicity, with a smooth experience for everyone using the app.
- Fast loading, because Salla builds small apps that open in a few seconds.
- In-app payments through payment gateways integrated with the app.
- Apple Pay as a payment option.
- Support for both iOS and Android.
๐ Important notes
The developer accounts on the App Store and Google Play are created in your name, so you keep ownership of the app and its listing.
Interface changes you make in Salla take effect without a new store release, but changes to the app itself, such as a new version or updated store screenshots, still go through the normal review process on each store.
