Install Strawlo on Your Phone
Strawlo works as a mobile app right from your browser — no app store needed. Once installed, it looks and feels just like a regular app on your home screen.
Here's how to set it up on both iPhone and Android.
iPhone (Safari)
Safari is the only browser that supports installing apps on iPhone, so make sure you're using it.
Step 1: Open Strawlo in Safari
Open Safari and go to strawlo.com. Log in to your account if you haven't already.
Step 2: Tap the Share button
Tap the Share icon at the bottom of the screen. It looks like a square with an arrow pointing up.
Step 3: Tap "Add to Home Screen"
Scroll down in the share menu and tap "Add to Home Screen".
Step 4: Name it and tap Add
You'll see a preview with the Strawlo icon and name. You can keep the name as is or change it. Tap "Add" in the top right corner.
Done!
Strawlo will now appear on your home screen just like any other app. Tap it to open your dashboard instantly — no browser bars, no tabs, just your store.
Android (Chrome)
Chrome is the recommended browser for Android, but Samsung Internet and other browsers work too.
Step 1: Open Strawlo in Chrome
Open Chrome and go to strawlo.com. Log in to your account.
Step 2: Tap the menu
Tap the three dots (⋮) in the top right corner of Chrome to open the menu.
Step 3: Tap "Add to Home screen" or "Install app"
You might see either option depending on your phone. Tap whichever one appears:
- "Install app" — this is the best option if available
- "Add to Home screen" — this works the same way
Step 4: Confirm
Tap "Install" or "Add" to confirm. The Strawlo icon will be added to your home screen.
Done!
Open Strawlo from your home screen anytime. It runs in full screen mode, so it feels just like a native app.
Samsung Internet Browser
If you're using Samsung Internet instead of Chrome:
- Open strawlo.com and log in
- Tap the hamburger menu (three horizontal lines) at the bottom right
- Tap "Add page to" → "Home screen"
- Tap "Add" to confirm
Tips
- Notifications — Once installed, Strawlo can send you notifications about new orders and updates, just like a regular app.
- Updates — The app updates automatically. You'll always have the latest version without needing to update anything manually.
- Storage — The app takes up very little space on your phone since it runs from the web.
- Offline — Some parts of Strawlo work even when you're offline. You'll see your cached data until you reconnect.
Having trouble?
If you're having issues installing the app, make sure you're using Safari on iPhone or Chrome on Android. Other browsers on iPhone (like Chrome for iOS) don't support app installation.
