How to Get the Strawlo App on Your Phone (Android & iPhone)

Mellisa.MMellisa.MMarch 25, 2026·3 min read

Getting Strawlo on your phone takes under a minute — but the steps are different depending on what you're holding.

On iPhone, Strawlo is a real app. Download it from the App Store like any other app.

On Android, there's no Play Store download needed. Strawlo installs straight from your browser and sits on your home screen like a normal app.

Here's both, step by step.


💡 Why install the app?

However you install it, Strawlo sits on your home screen just like Instagram or WhatsApp — full screen, fast, and one tap away. Manage your store, check orders, and respond to customers without opening a browser.


For Android Users (Samsung, Tecno, Infinix, etc.)

Android uses Chrome browser. If you use a different browser, the steps are very similar.

1. Open Chrome and go to strawlo.com

Open the Chrome browser on your phone (the round colourful icon). Type strawlo.com in the address bar and hit enter. If you're already logged in, you'll see your dashboard.

✅ Make sure you're using Chrome — not Samsung Internet or Opera Mini.

2. Tap the three dots menu ⋮

Look at the top right corner of Chrome. You'll see three vertical dots — tap on them. A dropdown menu will appear.

3. Tap "Add to Home screen"

In the dropdown menu, scroll down and look for "Add to Home screen" or "Install app". Tap it.

4. Tap "Add" to confirm

A popup will ask you to confirm. The name will say "Strawlo". Just tap "Add" and the app icon will appear on your home screen.

🎉 That's it! Strawlo is now on your Android home screen.
Tap the icon anytime to open your store dashboard — full screen, no browser bars.

Using Samsung Internet instead of Chrome?

The steps are almost the same:

  • Open strawlo.com
  • Tap the hamburger menu ☰ (bottom right)
  • Tap "Add page to"
  • Select "Home screen"

Done!


For iPhone Users

Strawlo is a real iOS app now, so there's no browser trick involved — you download it from the App Store like anything else.

1. Open the App Store

Tap the blue App Store icon on your iPhone.

2. Search for "Strawlo"

Type Strawlo in the search bar. Look for the blue icon with the shopping bag.

💡 Faster way: tap this link on your iPhone and it opens the Strawlo page in the App Store directly.

3. Tap Get

Tap Get, then confirm with Face ID, Touch ID, or your Apple Account password. The app downloads in a few seconds.

4. Open it and sign in

Tap Open. Sign in with Google to get straight to your dashboard.

🎉 That's it — Strawlo is on your iPhone. Push notifications for new orders, native sharing, and everything else the browser can't do.

Already added Strawlo to your home screen from Safari? That was the old way, before the iOS app existed. Long-press it, remove it, and download the real app instead — it's faster and does more.


What You Get With the App

Either way, here's how it beats using the browser:

  • 📱 Full Screen
    No browser bar or tabs — feels like a real app.

  • Faster Loading
    Pages load quicker, even on slower connections.

  • 👆 One Tap Access
    No typing URLs — just tap and go.

  • 🔒 Stays Logged In
    You won’t need to log in every time.

On iPhone you also get:

  • 🔔 Order Notifications
    Get pinged the moment a customer pays — even with the app closed.

  • 📤 Native Sharing
    Share products and payment links straight to WhatsApp, Instagram, or anywhere else.


Troubleshooting

"I don't see Add to Home screen" (Android)

Make sure you're using Chrome. Look for "Install app" if you don't see the option.

"I can't find Strawlo in the App Store" (iPhone)

Search Strawlo — one word, no space. If nothing comes up, tap this direct link on your iPhone. The app needs iOS 15.1 or later.

"The icon doesn't appear on my home screen"

Check your last home screen page.

  • On Android, also check your app drawer (swipe up).
  • On iPhone, swipe left to your App Library and search there.
  • You can drag the icon to your preferred position.

"Can I remove it later?"

Yes — just like any app.

Long-press the Strawlo icon and select Remove or Uninstall. This won’t affect your account or data.
