Configuring your D2C Custom Download page

The D2C Custom Download Page supports real-time configuration, allowing you to instantly adjust and optimize your landing and payment pages. This flexibility enables you to respond quickly to user feedback, run experiments, and make data-driven improvements, all without requiring a new app release.

There are two available layouts you need to choose from before configuring the page's details:

• Basic: A simple layout with a customizable color scheme
• Graphic Wave: This layout features a customizable background image and color scheme.

After choosing between the two available layouts, "Basic" or "Graphic Wave", the customization page becomes available.

It is possible to create and customize the app's landing page to tailor it to the aesthetics and branding of the app being distributed. This customization helps to engage users and incentivize them to try your app.
It is possible to customize the following fields:

• Theme color;
• Theme mode;
• Page copies;
• Media files;
• Meta tags.

The payments page will be customized to match the landing page’s design to ensure consistency and ease of use.

This customization can be viewed in the live preview on the right side of the page. You can maximize user acquisition and conversion rates by continuously refining these pages.

After configuring everything on your app's D2C Custom Download Page, click "Submit" to submit your page for review.

All D2C Custom Download Pages must be reviewed by our Quality Assurance team. Once your submission is approved, the distribution link will become available in the D2C Download section of your app’s details page.
