How to Add a Link to the App on Your Website

Zipper is a Progressive Web App (PWA) — customers access it via a URL, not an App Store download. "The app" for your customers is your studio's Zipper customer portal URL.

Your customer-facing Zipper URL (the booking page) is the “app link”:

  • If your website is a Zipper site with a custom domain: yourdomain.com/app
  • If your website is hosted somewhere else: https://yourbusiness.site.joinzipper.com/app

You can grab copyable links to your booking pages under Website + App > Direct Links & Embedding (each link has a Copy URL button).

The Direct Links & Embedding page with shareable links and Copy URL buttons

  1. Navigate to: Website + App > Site Editor
  2. Open Site settings → Menu
  3. Click: Add menu item
  4. Label: “Book Now” or “Open App” or “Member Login”
  5. URL: your Zipper customer portal URL
  6. Save and Publish

Adding an App Install Button or CTA Block

  1. In the Site Editor, open a page
  2. Add a button block or CTA section
  3. Set the button text: “Download the App” or “Book a Class”
  4. Link the button to your Zipper portal URL
  5. Save and Publish

Tip: How Customers “Install” the App

Since Zipper is a PWA, customers on mobile can add it to their home screen:

  • Visit your Zipper portal URL on their phone
  • Tap Share → Add to Home Screen (iOS) or the install prompt (Android)
  • The app icon appears on their home screen

Consider adding a short note on your website explaining this, especially for tech-shy members.
