Which app integrations and partnerships actually bring installs?
Integrations with apps merchants already use can bring installs, if the partner promotes them and merchants need them.
- Which integrations should we build?
- Do partner listings bring installs?
- How do we co-market?
Build integrations merchants ask for in support tickets and reviews, with apps in adjacent categories such as email, reviews, subscriptions or loyalty. Get listed in the partner's integration directory and co-market: joint guides, webinars and in-app mentions. Track installs that come through each partner. Drop integrations nobody uses.
Choose by demand
- Count integration requests in tickets and reviews.
- Check which apps your merchants already use.
- Prefer partners with active directories.
- Agree co-marketing before building.
