Put It On Your Phone

Your shop, on your home screen, like an app.

Step by step

  1. Open Safari, and only Safari

    This is where people get stuck. It has to be Safari - not Chrome, and not the browser tucked inside Facebook or Instagram. If you got here by tapping a link in a text or an email, open Safari fresh.

  2. Go to makerpickup.com/login

    Log in before you install, not after. If you do it the other way round you will just end up logging in a second time. Get all the way to your dashboard.

  3. Tap the Share button

    It is at the bottom of Safari - the little square with an arrow coming out of the top. Tap it and a list slides up.

  4. Tap Add to Home Screen

    Scroll that list down a little way and you will find it. Give it a name - MakerPickup is fine - and tap Add. The crate lands on your home screen.

  5. What you get

    No address bar, no tabs. It fills the screen like any other app. If you go a couple of weeks without opening it your phone may ask you to log in again, which is your phone tidying up rather than anything broken.

  6. On an Android phone

    Same idea, slightly different words: open it in Chrome, tap the three dots, and choose Install app or Add to Home screen.
