Question 26

Loyalty Card

Accepted Answer

With the Loyalty card feature you’ll be able to create a loyalty’s punch or stamp card. It means there will be a reward after a number of purchases. For example “one burger for ten bought”. 
To validate a loyalty point the business owner will have to enter a four-digit password. As with loyalty stamp card, the client has to show his card to the retailer for stamping it, with our digital loyalty card, the client has to show his smartphone and the retailer has to enter his four-digit password to validate a point.        1. Loyalty card creation   Here are the things required to create a loyalty card:   the total number of points the reward what’s the condition to validate a point Here is an example:        You can also add your own pictures to illustrate the points of the card with the buttons “Point inactive” and “Point active”.   2. Four-digit passwords and QRcode creation :   It is possible to create a password and QRcode for each employee.   To create a password, you just have to click on the “My passwords” button:        By clicking on the QRCode logo you can download a QRCode that can be used instead of the password.      3. The loyalty card in the application:        To validate a point, the client “touches” a point and shows his smartphone to the retailer:        The retailer chooses the number of points and enters his password.   Note:
It is not possible to edit or delete a loyalty card. Why? Because it works like a real punch card, when a user gets a punch card with a particular offer and begins to validate some points on it, it can’t be changed (meaning that it would be too easy to attract customers with a big offer and then to change it for a lower one while they already have some points validated on it).
But it’s possible to create a new card with a new offer. All the customers who have already validated points on the old card, will keep using this card until it is completely validated, and then they will get the new card. The customers who haven’t validated points yet on the old card, will get the new one instead.

Custom Page

Accepted Answer

Appily gives you a wide choice of features to put your products and activity forward.
Custom page allows you to enlighten your business by numerous ways. You can write an article with a picture or not, you can publish a photo gallery, you can publish a video directly on this page, and you can add “one touch call” buttons or link to any external website.        For instance, custom page gives you the opportunity to create pages like these ones:                            Let’s see, how to create a page such as these ones. First, you need to create a new Custom page:        Then you must name your new page (here it will be Our Activities).   A custom page is made up of independent blocks. Thus you can realize  as many blocks as you want in the same page (in the example page “Our Activities” there are three blocks: one about golf, one about tennis – which are both text sections – and one about the lake which is an image section).   Text Picture Video Address Buttons Attachments Slider Cover   1.Text   Here, we will create the first section, which is dealing with golf. To do this, click on “Text” . A new text document appears and you can write your article in it.      Then, insert the picture we want in this section. To do that, click on the icon which is circled in red.  This icon appears "Add a picture"  and allows you to insert your picture.   When this one has been inserted, you can act on its alignment and its size:      Thus you obtain this result:            To obtain a section like “The vines”, click again "Text" on  and follow the process we have seen. But you must act on the alignment which must be on the left and not on the right. You can realize as many sections as you want (custom pages are made up of independent blocks).   More:   You can also add in your text element a link to a website or an e-mail address.   This appears:            You have to choose the link type you want to integrate, “URL” if you want to integrate a website or “E-mail” if you want to integrate an e-mail address. Then write in the URL case the link.   ex:   Website:         Source mode, HTML Tags :   You can also insert HTML TAGS by selecting the “source mode” with the “source button”.   The HTML tags allowed are a , img and iframe. Every other html tags will be automatically removed.    2. Picture   Creating a photo gallery is as easy as realizing a text section. To do that, click on "Image"  and then on “Add pictures”.   You obtain this:        You can add a description of your picture if you want. Here again you can realize as many sections as you want, you just have to click on  "Image"   3. Video   The creation of a video section is as easy as the creation of text sections and picture sections. To do that, you must create a new section, click on "Video" . This appears:      Here you have to choose the kind of video you want to integrate into your custom page: YouTube videos, Podcast videos or your own videos.   YouTube:   Click on "YOUTUBE". This appears:       Enter your research or your YouTube URL in the field. Here I enter “Freeride in Sweden” and then click on OK.

Question 39

White Label Editor

Accepted Answer

You will need to have a domain name. If you do not have one yet, you can purchase one, for example at ovh.com or namecheap.com. A .com name costs some € 5 / year. You are not required to purchase hosting service with your domain name.   Then, you must have access to the DNS zones from the domain name management interface. DNS means Domain Name System. Don’t worry, this is not too technical.   You will usually find the DNS zones in the Domain section of your domain admin panel. When you find that section, you have to create a type CNAME or CNAME record. In this record you will have to enter the following info: domain name: your subdomain
address: the address of your editor (for example: myappvault.co)   Here is an example of how it could look like (it depends on the domain admin panel):           You can either choose to use your domain name exclusively as a white-label interface, or choose a subdomain (this is an example of the format: subdomain.mydomain.com). You have to enter the name of your domain or subdomain. If you have the option, you should set the TTL to the minimum value. If you don’t have this option, you should not worry. It just helps your modifications to be taken into account more quickly.   To finish, you must notify us of your changes and we will connect your account on the platform. Then you have to enter your domain name in the “Hostname” field. If you are using the domain for your white label admin panel, you must enter your domain name; if you are using a subdomain, you have to enter that name. If the CNAME has not been configured correctly, you will receive an error message.        You must also enter a name for their white label and the Application base Package Name (Android) and Application base Bundle ID (iOS).   Then you must not forget to customize you admin panel by clicking on this icon on the right of the general menu at the top:          If you were able to set the TTL to the minimum value, you should be able to access your white-label interface immediately by typing the name of your domain or subdomain into your web browser. If not, you should be able to access it within 24h.   Then, once you have built the application of your first client, you should create an access to the application for the client and give him the link to your white label panel. Thanks to this the your client will be able to manage his app on your admin without knowing he is using our platform.

Question 40

How to create a custom URL for your mobile website?

Accepted Answer

In your App Dashboard, you can enter a custom domain for an app in Settings > Domain.   Be careful this operation may have an impact on your app if it is already published, therefore do it only if you really want a custom url for your mobile website (i.e. allowing people to open the HTML5 version of your app in their browser).   Creat a CNAME Record:   The best method on Appily is to use a CNAME record. If you have a domain like mydomain.com, it is possible to create a CNAME like mobile.mydomain.com that will open the app in the browser of the device.   To create the CNAME you must, connect to your domain name panel and create a CNAME record named “mobile” which will have the myappvault.co URL as its destination. Thus to keep the example above, the destination of the CNAME “mobile” will be “myappvault.yourdomain.com”. Then the complete CNAME must be entered in the domain field in your Appily editor (Settings > Domain) In the domain name panel, a CNAME record can be created from the DNS zone section (most often from a link “Add a new record”).   If it is not well configured, a message saying “your CNAME is not properly set” will be displayed. It can happen even if you have well configured your CNAME because of DNS propagation delay. Wait a little bit and enter the CNAME url in your browser, if it displays the app, the CNAME is well configured. If not, you should take a look at your CNAME configuration, or remove this custom domain.   If you want to be sure your CNAME is properly set, just check your CNAME record with this tool:   https://www.whatsmydns.net   Enter the chosen URL of your mobile version, in our example mobile.yourdomain.com, then choose CNAME, and click “search”, if it doesn’t show the address of your myappvault.co as the result, that means you haven’t well created your CNAME or you are not creating its CNAME at the right place (your domain name may be managed by another panel).   WARNING: if you, have entered a custom domain for your app, be sure this custom domain works. If not, the app will never open, because the content is based on this URL and it will try to reach this URL and it will fail.   Note: If you can’t see it working in your web browser, that means you have cache in it. Flush your web browser’s cache or try with another web browser.

Question 41

Creating an iOS Developer Account

Accepted Answer

To submit apps to the iTunes Store/App Store you need an iOS Developer Account. Below is a step-by-step guide on how to set up this account.
 Please note that with Apple’s recent change to its App Review Guidelines, it is key that apps are submitted directly by the provider of the app’s content using their own Apple Developer Account. If the app and the developer account do not match, Apple will potentially reject the app. 
 According to Apple, what you need before you enrol is: 
 Enrolling as an Individual
If you are an individual or sole proprietor/single person business, sign in with your Apple ID to get started. You’ll need to provide basic personal information, including your legal name and address. Enrolling as an Organisation
If you’re enrolling your organisation, you’ll need an Apple ID as well as the following to get started: A D-U-N-S® Number
Your organisation must have a D-U-N-S Number so that we can verify your organisation’s identity and legal entity status. These unique nine-digit numbers are assigned by Dun & Bradstreet and are widely used as standard business identifiers. You can check to see if your organisation already has a D-U-N-S Number and request one if necessary. They are free in most jurisdictions. Legal Entity Status
Your organisation must be a legal entity so that it can enter into contracts with Apple. We do not accept DBAs, fictitious businesses, trade names, or branches. Legal Binding Authority
As the person enrolling your organisation in the Apple Developer Program, you must have the legal authority to bind your organisation to legal agreements. You must be the organisation’s owner/founder, executive team member, senior project lead, or have legal authority granted to you by a senior employee.  Creating an iOS Developer account
 First go to: https://developer.apple.com/enroll and click "Start your Enrolment'. Sign in using your Apple ID (or create an Apple ID if you do not have one yet). 
    2. Go over the Apple Developer Agreement, check the box confirming that you have read it and click on 'Submit'.     3. Confirm that all your information is correct (email, name, location), then choose an entity. Please read Apple's explanation of entities below before you make a choice. 
 Explanation from Apple:
The Developer name listed on the App Store is based on the type of account selected from the options below. Apps published to Individual Developer Accounts will display the name listed on the iOS Developer Account. Apps published to Company/Organisation Developer Accounts will display the Company Name entered within the iOS Developer Account.  Entities: 
 Individual/Sole Proprietor/Single Person Business: Individuals or companies without an officially recognised business (company without a Dun and Bradstreet number). This account only allows for a single primary login to be created to the iOS Developer Account.

Company/Organisation: Legally recognised Companies with a Dun and Bradstreet number can select this option. This will allow multiple user logins to be created and managed with varying permissions capabilities for each login. See here to check if your company is a legal recognised company with a Dun and Bradstreet (DUNS) number.

4. Fill in all the contact details for your Developer Account.  5. Read the Apple Developer Program License Agreement, check the box confirming you have read the agreement and click ‘Continue'.          6. Confirm that all the previously entered information is correct en click continue.   7. Click ‘Purchase’ to enrol and pay for your yearly iOS Developer Account. Don't forget to check the Automatic Renewal box if you want you membership to be automatically renewed.      8. Sign in with your Apple ID and fill in your billing information. Then click continue to complete the setup of your iOS Developer Account.     9. Fill in any remaining information on the following pages. Within 24 hours you will receive a confirmation email from Apple letting you know the setup of your iOS Developer Account was successful.     10. Once your iOS Developer Account is fully setup, enter your iOS developer account information in the CMS under Publish  Frequently Asked Questions  If a client adds me to their iOS Developer Account as an Admin would my ‘admin’ login information suffice for Appily’s requirement for iOS publication? Yes this is possible, but only when your client is able to grant you 'Access to Certificates, Identifiers, and Profiles'. This is an extra option in the Users & Access section of App Store Connect, and is required by our system in order to create the required certificates for the app. Your client will only be able to invite you with this permission enabled if they have registered their developer license as a company/organisation type account.
 - Would it be best if my client also purchased their own Google Play developers account? Yes, we always advise to publish apps on their own accounts. This is to prevent apps from being removed from the store when an account gets terminated by Google for whatever reason. Spreading the apps on multiple accounts, also spreads the risk.
