Branded App FAQ
- Do I need a developer account to make my Branded App available to my customers?
Yes, you’ll need to create a developer account for Apple, Android, or both, depending on where you’d like to make your Branded App available. Developer account fees are not included with your Vagaro Branded App subscription.
- Can Vagaro create my developer accounts for me?
Developer accounts with both Apple and Google are considered legal contracts, meaning we’re legally unable to create your developer account on your behalf — only the business owner or other representative with legal authority is able to create your developer accounts.
- How do I create developer accounts?
- What kind of developer account do I need to sign up for?
In order to give our team the access level needed to upload and maintain your branded app, you’ll need to register for your developer accounts as an organization.
- What documentation do I need to register for a developer account?
Each app store has their own requirements for developer account registration. Most commonly you must have:
- Registered legal entity status in your business’s state/province/municipality
- A website with a domain name that matches your business name (ex. studio180.com)
- A business email connected with your business domain name (ex. info@studio180.com)
- A DUNS number, which is a globally-standardized business identification number
- Any federal, state, or municipal business document for the purpose of business identification
- A driver’s license or other government-issued personal identification
- Can I put my app on only one app store?
Of course! As the business owner you get to decide where you want to make your app available for download, but at least one app store is required in order to complete and release your app.
- Can I charge users to download my branded app?
We automatically create all branded apps to be available on the app stores for free but you’re welcome to charge users for download if you wish. Doing so will require additional tax and legal setup that must be completed by the developer account owner. We typically advise against charging for branded app downloads because other avenues such as the Vagaro Marketplace, Vagaro Customer App, or your Vagaro Listing Page are free for customers to use for booking.
- When will my Branded App be ready to download?
The time it takes to design your Branded App and then make it available to download depends on how quickly you set up your developer accounts on Apple and Google and how quickly you respond to communication from our Design Team. We will need to work closely with your business to design your app, business logo, splash images, app icon, and additional elements to provide you with the complete branding experience. Our goal is to help you publish and make your app available in both the Apple Store and Google Play on a timeline that works best for your availability to collaborate.
- What can customers do in my Branded App?
When your customers use your Branded App, they will be able to book appointments, workshops, and classes, view your service and class menus, access and manage their customer profiles, leave reviews, and shop at your online store. Your app will have all the same features and functionality as your Vagaro Listing Page, so the more robust your page, the more options you’ll present to your clients.
- How much can I customize or edit the app?
You can personalize your app’s icon, splash screen, button color, and external links in the ‘More’ tab.
- What upkeep is needed to keep my developer accounts active?
To keep your branded app active, you’ll need to log into your developer accounts at least once a year and review/accept any updated license agreements or terms of use. If your app is available on the Apple app store, you’ll also need to ensure you’re up-to-date on your annual developer program membership fees. We recommend enabling auto-pay to avoid any potential down-time due to missed payment.
- What will Vagaro do to keep my Branded App active?
Vagaro will handle any app updates needed to keep your app functioning and in alignment with app store requirements. Please be aware that Vagaro will only be able to process these updates if we still have access to your developer accounts and there are no pending license agreements or terms of use updates.
