Create an App Stores Smart Link

Set up one QR code for your app that works on iPhone, Android and computers.

1 min read

Scanned on an iPhone, an App Stores Smart Link opens your app in the App Store. On Android, it opens Google Play. Anywhere else, including most iPads, it opens a web page. Have your store addresses ready.

  1. In Smart Links, select Create SmartLink.

    Smart Links home with the Create SmartLink button highlighted

  2. Enter the Title, such as "Lindenhall app (car park signs)".

    Title Lindenhall app (car park signs), highlighted

  3. Under Type, choose App Stores.

    Type with the App Stores card selected, highlighted

  4. Enter the Smart Link Slug.

    Smart Link Slug lindenhall-app-car-park, highlighted

Add the stores

  1. Paste your app's page into App Store URL.

  2. Paste your app's page into Google Play URL.

    Google Play URL with the Lindenhall app's Google Play page, highlighted

  3. If your app is on them, add the Amazon Appstore URL (Optional) and Huawei AppGallery URL (Optional).

    Amazon Appstore and Huawei AppGallery URL fields, highlighted

    Every Android phone, Huawei and Amazon Fire included, opens Google Play URL. These two are used only when the link has no Google Play, App Store or default address.

  4. In Default URL (Fallback), enter the page for computers and other devices.

    Default URL (Fallback) set to the app's web page, highlighted

    Without it, computers and other devices open the App Store page.

  5. Select Save & Activate.

    Configure Smart Link page with the Save & Activate button highlighted

You can leave App Icon URL (Optional) empty: a scan goes straight to the store, so nobody sees the icon.

The options below the stores, Enable Expiration Date, UTM Parameters and Variants, work as for a Redirection Smart Link.

Test it on two phones

Scan the QR code with an iPhone and an Android phone, then open the link on a computer. Each should land in the right place. See Test the Smart Link.
