常见问题:
Will this banner show on desktop devices?
No, the banner will only display on mobile devices (smartphones and tablets). Desktop users won't see the banner, ensuring zero disruption to your desktop browsing experience.
Can I choose where the banner appears on the screen?
Yes, you can choose to display the banner at the top or bottom of the screen. Bottom placement is often less intrusive and can achieve higher engagement rates.
How do users dismiss the banner?
The banner includes a close button (×) that users can tap to dismiss it. The plugin remembers this choice using cookies, so the banner won't reappear for 7 days.
Does it work for both iOS and Android apps?
Absolutely! The plugin detects the user's device and shows the appropriate app store link. iOS users see the App Store link, and Android users see the Play Store link.
What if I only have an app for one platform (iOS or Android)?
The banner will only show to users on the platform you have an app for. If you only have an iOS app, Android users won't see the banner, and vice versa.
Can I customize the colors and appearance?
Yes! You can customize the background color, button colors, text colors, and close button color. You can also set custom text for the app name, subtitle, and download button, plus adjust font sizes.
How does the iOS Smart App Banner work?
When enabled, the iOS Smart App Banner uses Apple's native banner system on Safari for iOS. This provides a familiar, high-converting experience for Safari users. On other iOS browsers (Chrome, Firefox, etc.), the custom banner will still display, ensuring all iOS users see a promotion.
What's the difference between iOS Smart Banner and the custom banner?
- iOS Smart Banner:
- Apple's native banner that appears in Safari on iOS
- Always positioned at the TOP of the page (controlled by Safari, not customizable)
- Uses Apple's design standards (appearance cannot be modified)
- High user trust and conversion rates
- Automatic "Open" button if app is already installed
- Custom Banner:
- Your fully customized banner that works on all mobile browsers
- Positioning controlled by you (top or bottom)
- Complete design customization (colors, fonts, text, etc.)
- Works on Chrome iOS, Firefox iOS, Opera iOS, Edge iOS, and all Android browsers
Do I need both App Store and Play Store links?
You need links for the platforms where your app is available. If you have both iOS and Android versions, provide both links. If you only have one platform, provide that link only.
Will this affect my website's loading speed?
No, the plugin is optimized for performance with minimal impact on loading speed. It only loads necessary assets on mobile devices and uses efficient code.
Can I track banner performance?
While the plugin doesn't include built-in analytics, you can track performance by:
- Using UTM parameters in your app store links
- Monitoring app store analytics for traffic sources
- Using Google Analytics to track mobile user behavior
Is it compatible with caching plugins?
Yes, the plugin is compatible with most caching plugins. The banner detection and display logic work client-side when needed, ensuring compatibility.
Can I control the position of the iOS Smart Banner?
No, the iOS Smart Banner position cannot be controlled. When you enable iOS Smart Banner, Apple's Safari automatically displays it at the TOP of the page using Apple's native design. This is controlled entirely by iOS Safari, not by our plugin. However, you have full control over your custom banner positioning (top or bottom). The custom banner will display on all non-Safari browsers with your chosen position and design preferences.
What happens if my app store links are broken?
If the appropriate store link is not configured or broken, the banner won't display for that platform. Always test your links to ensure they work correctly.
