Install your admin and your store as apps
Put your admin on your phone's home screen like an app, and give your customers your store as an app too. No app store needed: install from the browser in a few taps.
What this page is for
Your store has two apps. The Admin app is for you and your team: orders, products, customers and billing. The Store app is your website with your logo, for you and your customers.
Both install straight from the browser. There is nothing to download from the Play Store or App Store, and they update by themselves. Anyone on your team can open this page.
