This section allows you to fill out the senders with which you want to communicate with your users and clients. Enter a name and email for the emails that will be sent from your admin backend for the support to your clients and users (for instance the forget password email).

The Support button will appear automatically in the user interface. And for Platform Edition owners, enter a sender name and email for the sales emails (order confirmation email for instance).

Here you can setup different taxes for the different countries you are going to sell apps. Just a choose a country, enter a rate (20.5 for example, if the tax rate is 20.5%) for that country, and click on the check on the right to save it. Add a new tax by clicking on the “+” on the right of “List of your taxes”.

Settings > Plans (Platform Edition)

The Platform Edition allows you to create different business models, and thus to offer different pricing plans to your clients. All plans will be displayed to all your clients. They are configured for buying one app. To create a new plan, click on “+” on the right of “List of your plans”. Then give a name and a description to this plan. These info will be displayed in the user interface (eg the frontend). Then enter a Setup fee if you want to charge a one time fee, if not let it blank. If you want to set up a subscription, choose if it’s a monthly or yearly subscription and enter a price. You can combine a setup fee with a subscription, or offer only setup fee, or offer only subscriptions. Then save. You can create as many plans as you want, all will be displayed to the clients. You can edit or delete plans from the list.
