Mall and shopping-center app FAQs
How much does a mall or shopping-center app cost?
Pricing depends on the publishing option, package, and services you select. Review the Malls & Retail Pricing page or contact Grandstand for help choosing the right option.
Can we include stores, restaurants, and services in one directory?
Yes. A property team can organize retailers, restaurants, and services into searchable groups and provide supported photos, descriptions, contact details, links, offers, and location information.
Can we use our existing property map?
Yes. Shopping centers can use a supported custom graphic such as a PDF, PNG, or JPG with searchable locations, or create location content over a supported native map. The app does not provide indoor positioning, automatic floor detection, or live parking availability.
How do coupons and offer redemption work?
Supported coupons can use single-use or repeat-redemption options selected for the promotion. Availability varies by package. Coupons are not stored credit, gift cards, or an automatic connection to tenant checkout systems.
Can we promote events throughout the year?
Yes. Use supported month-at-a-glance or day-by-day schedules for seasonal celebrations, entertainment, family activities, and other events. Favorites help shoppers plan but do not provide ticketing or reservations.
Can our team update the app, and is setup help available?
Yes. Authorized staff can maintain store listings, offers, maps, schedules, pages, and announcements with Grandstand’s browser-based tools. Design and content-loading help is available; scope and fees depend on the selected package and services.
Does the app work without cell service or Wi-Fi?
Yes. Grandstand’s native apps store downloaded content on the device, allowing visitors to keep using nearly all core app content without an internet connection. Visitors should download and open the app while connected before attending. A connection is needed to receive new content updates, push notifications, and access features that depend on online services.
How is our app published?
Grandstand offers publishing within a supported container app and stand-alone branded app-store options. Stand-alone apps require Apple and Google developer accounts and are subject to store review and approval. Availability, timing, and pricing vary by package.
Can we see how shoppers use our app?
Yes. Grandstand provides reporting on app usage and supported content activity, including views, favorites, shares, and searches. Available reports vary by package. Platinum and Titanium also include realtime analytics and geographic app-usage heatmaps. Explore App Analytics.
