Follow these steps to set up AppDirect for your app.

​
Step 1 | Integration

  1. In the Publisher Dashboard, set up price points for each product in your game.
  2. Implement the following SDKs:
    • Mobile Checkout SDK: Enables an in-game checkout experience.
    • Auto Update SDK: Allows your app to update automatically, without requiring players to manually download or install a new version.

​
Step 2 | Version control

Update your app file and upload it to the Publisher Dashboard as described in the Auto Update SDK process.

​
Step 3 | Distribution

  1. Create a webpage where players can download your app, and include the following:
    • Step-by-step instructions for downloading and installing the app. Tailor these based on the player’s platform. For example, show Android-specific instructions for Android users, or prompt unsupported users to switch to a compatible device.
    • Clear communication about safety, including instructions for granting permissions. Reassure players that the installation process is secure.
    • Incentives and promotions to drive engagement. We recommend including ongoing in-game offers, such as an extra 20% off coins for players who download through the direct link.
  2. Distribute the app to players. Create an invitation with a link to the webpage and share it via push notifications, email, social media, or direct messages. As a best practice, offer a one-time bonus for players who install the app.
