Grouping and Merging Apps
Folders and App Merge — two ways to distribute multiple apps or cross-platform versions through a single entry point.
Pgyer offers two aggregation options: Folders and App Merge. Both let you distribute multiple apps, or multiple platform versions of the same app, behind a single entry point.
Comparing the Two
| Method | What's Aggregated | Download Page Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| Folder | At least two apps in your account | Shows every app in the folder; users pick what to download |
| App Merge | Up to three sources on different platforms | Shows the matching platform based on the visitor's device |
Folders
A folder bundles multiple apps into a single group with one install-page short URL. Visitors to that page can see and download any app in the folder.
Steps:
- Open Tools → Folders from the Dashboard V2 sidebar;
- On the folder page, click New Folder;
- Enter a name, install-page short URL, and description, then choose at least two apps;
- Use the up/down controls to arrange selected apps in their intended display order, then click Create;
- Afterwards, open the install page or edit or delete the folder.
App Merge
App Merge combines up to three sources on different platforms into one install page. A source can be another app in the current account, an existing Pgyer short URL, or an official Apple App Store page. The resulting page shows the platform that matches the visitor's device.
Steps:
- Open the Overview page for either app;
- Choose Merged Install Page under Download & Share;
- Under Add Source, choose My Apps, Pgyer Short URL, or App Store, then select or enter the source;
- Click Add to Install Page and add another platform if needed, up to the three-member limit;
- Distribute the merged URL or QR code and verify it on every represented platform.
Choose Remove beside a member to remove only that source. Dissolve Merge Group removes all merge relationships without deleting any app.
Android apps can also be merged with an App Store listing. The behavior is the same; see Merging an Android app with an App Store app.
