Will I need to create my own developer accounts to make my Branded App available on the Apple and Google Stores, and if so, how much do those cost?
Yes. You’ll need to create a developer account for iOS, Android, or both, depending on where you’d like your Branded App available. Developer account fees are not included with your Vagaro Branded App subscription. At the time of publication, iOS developer account fees are $99 annually, and Android developer account fees are $25.
Click these links to get started:
How much can I edit or personalize my app?
Currently, you can personalize your app’s icon, device splash screen, button colors, and external links in the tabs.
How will my customers know about my app?
When your app is ready for download, we’ll provide you with a unique link to send to your customers for direct download. We suggest using your email marketing tools to embed this link and send an automated email to get the word out. From there, the best way to tell customers about your app is to tell them at their next appointment and post signs on your storefront to let them know the app is available.
How long does the process take before my app is live?
It depends and is based on your level of involvement. Our design team will need close collaboration with your business to coordinate on design, business logo, splash images, app icon, and additional elements to provide you with the complete branding experience. Our goal is to publish and make your app available in both the Apple Store and Google Play on a timeline that works best for your availability to collaborate.
Will my app work on both Apple and Android devices?
Yes! Branded apps are available for any device. You can choose to make your app available on either platform, or you can make your app available for both iOS and Android devices.
My business has more than one location. Will the app work for all my locations?
Yes! Your app will have multi-location functionality, available at an additional charge of just $10 per added location.
What will my customers be able to do in the app?
Customers can book appointments, workshops, and classes, view your service and class menus, access and manage their customer profiles, leave reviews, and shop at your online store. Your app will have all the same features and functionality as your Vagaro business page, so the more robust your page, the more options you’ll present to your clients!
