Even if your store does not have an App, it is still possible for your Users to create a shortcut to your Website on their mobile device’s home screen.
You can assign a custom icon to be displayed on a home screen shortcut to give you more control over your branding.
NOTE: The shortcut image that you want to use should ideally be a minimum of 152x152px in size or a 1:1 aspect ratio.

You can upload directly to Amazon AWS through your store under the Customization tab, where you'll click Advanced > Assets.

You will need to insert the code below into the Head Code Snippet.
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="imagehere">Replace the imagehere text, in bold above, between the quotation marks with the link you copied from the Assets panel, above.

Your icon should now appear when adding your site to a smartphone home screen:
