### Managed through Venditan Commerce and Firebase

The app is managed by two platforms: **Venditan Commerce** and **Firebase**.

The App is connected to Venditan Commerce via a secure API. Key management features include:

* **Sync Inventory**: Fetch and display your product information. By default, the App will display all of the products available on your website.
* **Customer Accounts**: Fetch and display Customer Account details and Order Histories.
* **Capture Orders**: The App will capture/accept customer orders which are then sent to Venditan Commerce for fulfilment.
* **Update Content**: Manage the App’s Home Screen and pages through the Venditan Commerce CMS.

Google’s **Firebase** can be used to send custom Push Notifications to App users.

### Reporting & Analytics

App performance can be monitored from Google Analytics 4 and we will configure this for you when the App is launched.

This will give you an insight into:

* **User Engagement**: Track how users interact with your app, including session duration, pages/screens viewed, and in-app events, to understand engagement levels.
* **User Acquisition**: Identify where users are coming from (organic, social, paid), helping optimise marketing channels and improve acquisition strategies.
* **Revenue Insights**: Monitor in-app purchases and ad revenue, showing your app’s financial performance and helping refine monetisation tactics.
* **User Retention**: See how often users return, retention rates over time, and churn patterns, offering insights to boost long-term engagement and reduce drop-offs.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.venditan.com/docs/mobile-apps/setup-and-management.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
