Last Updated on2024-09-24 06:35:35

OEM App channels

By following the Newbie Checklist (Plug-in AppMall or End-to-End AppMall), you can establish a store that is suitable for transactions or merely brand showcasing.
Once you've completed the basic setup, your store can be ready to transact or showcase on various channels such as the app or web.
In the app channel, you might have a dedicated panel to initiate the transaction process for a specific product. Alternatively, you may want a separate store entrance at the bottom of the app. All of this depends on how you choose to utilize the channel.

2. On the OEM Apps menu page, click the "Manage" button in the "Sales Region" row.
