App details page
Help creators get the most from your app by setting up a comprehensive app details page.
The app details page is your app’s storefront and is also where creators land after installing your app, so make it count.
What to include
Your app details page needs:
- A clear description of what your app does
- Setup instructions
- Links to documentation
- Support information
- Images and videos to help your app stand out
It may also include the option to alternatively send creators to your app, or an externally hosted onboarding flow, post signup. This can be configured using the Redirect URL after install field. An example of this flow can be seen below.
