Wix offers a selection of mobile apps, known as 'Member apps'. Using these apps, you can create your own app and list it on the App Store and Google Play. When you create an app using one of the Wix apps, you can use the 'Download the Mobile App' app to promote it on your site.
The Download the Mobile App app automatically generates links to your app in the App Store and Google Play. Your site visitors can easily download it by clicking the store links or scanning the available QR code. This makes it more convenient for them to engage with your loyalty programs, bookings, and memberships.
