The Custom Mobile App Tab feature lets you add one external webpage as a custom tab to your mobile app's navigation that links directly to any external webpage, like your shop, blog, or resource page.
This gives your audience easy access to everything you offer while keeping your content and community at the center of your app experience. This also gives you greater control over your app’s brand and identity.
ℹ️ INFO: Currently available on Plus, Custom, and All-Access plans.

Best Practices
Tab Customizations
Keep tab names clear so members instantly understand where to go
Choose icons that accurately reflect each tab's purpose to make navigation feel familiar at a glance
Set a default tab that delivers the strongest first impression; we typically recommend the Catalog so your content is front and center
Consider an icons-only layout for global audiences to create a universally recognizable experience, regardless of language
📝 NOTE: Long titles will be truncated. Default tab titles support translation, while custom ones don't.
External Website Tab
Keep it clear and useful, as the tab should add value, not distract from your content and community
Use mobile-optimized pages so members don't have to pinch and zoom
Choose familiar labels like "Store," "Blog," or "Resources."
Use only trusted HTTPS sites
Test your link before saving to make sure it loads smoothly
Don't go weird: no personal sites, random memes, or unrelated content. Your app is still subject to app store review and approval.
ℹ️ INFO: App stores may reject weird, misleading, broken, off-brand, or inappropriate experiences.
Final Thoughts
This new feature makes your app more dynamic, more personalized, and more you.
