Get your app or home-screen link

Only add this doable if you have somewhere to send people. An install is a big ask; paying for one that leads to a half-finished app costs you twice.

If you have a native app

Apple App Store: open your app’s page at apps.apple.com, click the share control and copy the link. It looks like https://apps.apple.com/us/app/your-app/id1234567890. You can also copy it from App Store Connect.

Google Play: open your app’s listing and copy the address bar, or use the share button. It looks like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yourbrand.app.

Both at once: you only get one link in the doable, so either pick the store most of your customers use, or make a page on your own store that offers both — Online Store → Pages → Add page, two buttons, link the doable at https://yourstore.com/pages/app. The extra tap costs less than sending an iPhone user to Google Play.

If you don’t have an app

You still have something: a modern Shopify storefront can be saved to a phone’s home screen, where it opens full-screen with your icon on it. No build, no store listing, no review process.

Make the page:

1. Online Store → Pages → Add page, titled Add us to your home screen.
2. Write the two sets of instructions:
   • iPhone: open the store in Safari, tap the Share button, then Add to Home Screen.
   • Android: open the store in Chrome, tap the ⋮ menu, then Add to Home screen.
3. Save, and point the doable at https://yourstore.com/pages/home-screen.

It isn’t a real app, and you shouldn’t call it one. Call it what it is: a shortcut that skips the search bar.

Paste it into Symbiotic

1. Symbiotic → Doables → Get our app → Add.
2. Paste the link into Link to open.
3. Rename the label if you’re doing the home-screen version — Put us on your home screen is honest and converts better than Get our app when there’s no app.
4. Set the reward and Save, then Turn on.

Troubleshooting

Desktop shoppers can’t complete it. True, and unavoidable — an App Store link on a laptop is a dead end. If most of your traffic is desktop, this is the wrong doable; use the newsletter one instead.
