      START HERE: Step-By-Step Custom App Checklist

      A checklist of all articles related to getting your Custom App set up, developed, and live.

      Interested in creating your own Custom MyStudio App? Awesome!

       

      The Custom App is a great way to brand your studio, so your customers can download an app with YOUR name and YOUR logo on it.


      Before adding the custom app, please know the following:

      • The Custom App add-on is $199 monthly. This fee is for the coding to connect our coding to your app shell. This is not for setting up and maintaining the app. 
      • You will be required to open an Apple and Google developer and keep up to date with them. Apple is a $99 annual fee and Google is a one-time $25 fee. Since Google is a one-time, you need to keep it updated or they will close your account and you will need to rebuild the Google app.

       

      Step 1: Add The Custom App to Your Account

      To get started, go to My Account (bottom left-hand corner) > Plan and Billing > and add the Custom App to your membership.

       

      Once it has been added to your account, you will have access to the Custom App Set Up section under Sales Channel > Member App/Portal > Custom App Set Up.

       

       

      Step 2: Apple Developer and Google Developer Accounts

       

      The Custom App set-up process involves you owning your own app on the Apple App Store and Google Play app store. To do this, you will need an Apple Developer account and a Google Developer account.

       

      PLEASE NOTE:

      • Apple does require a 24-48 hour waiting period after you enroll into the Apple Developer Membership so make sure you plan accordingly.
      • Google has a verification process you will need to complete before you can publish an app with them.
