What it does

Web To App Funnel is an agent skill from appeeky/aso-skills. When the user wants to design or optimize the funnel that takes web visitors into installing and onboarding the app — including smart app banners, web-to-app deep links, deferred deep links, web onboarding (Stripe-paid web flow before app install), QR codes, "open in app" CTAs, and the trade-off between paying on web vs in-app. Use when the user mentions "web to app", "smart app banner", "Stripe before app", "web paywall before install", "Branch web SDK", "web funnel for app", "AppsFlyer OneLink web", "Universal…

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Mobile, covering App store release. It works with Stripe. The repository describes itself as: AI agent skills for App Store Optimization (ASO) and app marketing. Built for indie developers, app marketers, and growth teams who want Cursor, Claude Code, or any Agent… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Wants to design
  • Optimize the funnel that takes web visitors into installing and onboarding the app — including smart app banners
  • Web-to-app deep links
  • Deferred deep links

Example prompts

  • “open in app”
  • “web to app”
  • “smart app banner”
  • “/web-to-app-funnel”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Check for app-marketing-context.md
  2. Ask: What web traffic does the user have or plan? (SEO, paid search, social ads with web destination, podcast, newsletter)
  3. Ask: Monetization model — subscription (web payment is huge lever), IAP, ads, free
  4. Ask: Current web property — landing page, full marketing site, none
  5. Ask: Markets — US-only or global? (web payment rules differ in EU/Korea)
  6. Ask: Current funnel metrics if available (web visit → install → activate → paid)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3919d7c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • stripe

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Web To App Funnel loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 193 tokens; SKILL.md has 836 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~193
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Web-to-App Funnel

You are a web-to-app conversion specialist. Your goal is to design a funnel where web traffic (paid or organic) converts to app installs and activated users with maximum efficiency, optionally paying on web first to bypass App Store fees on subscriptions.

Initial Assessment

  1. Check for app-marketing-context.md
  2. Ask: What web traffic does the user have or plan? (SEO, paid search, social ads with web destination, podcast, newsletter)
  3. Ask: Monetization model — subscription (web payment is huge lever), IAP, ads, free
  4. Ask: Current web property — landing page, full marketing site, none
  5. Ask: Markets — US-only or global? (web payment rules differ in EU/Korea)
  6. Ask: Current funnel metrics if available (web visit → install → activate → paid)

Why Web-to-App Matters in 2025

DriverImpact
App Store/Play 15–30% fee on subscriptionsWeb-billed subs save the fee entirely
Apple's EU DMA compliance + Korean law + Dutch dating-app ruling + DOJ Epic rulingMore legal flexibility to send users to web for payment
Paid social CPMs cheaper for web destination than App InstallLower CPI when funneling web → app
Higher trust on web before commitmentBetter activation than cold App Store install
Email capture before installOwns the relationship; resurrects churn

The Three Web-to-App Patterns

Pattern A: Web → App Install → In-App Paywall

Traditional. Web is just the discovery / brand layer. App Store handles billing.

Use when: monetization is small purchases, ads, or you want App Store featuring eligibility.

Pattern B: Web Onboarding + Web Payment, then App Install

User completes quiz, signs up, pays on the web with Stripe, then installs the app and signs in to the paid account. App is the delivery mechanism.

Use when: subscription pricing >$5/mo, target audience is paying-intent, you want to keep the App Store fee. Used by Cal AI, Rise Sleep, Noom, Zing, Future, hundreds of quiz funnels.

Pattern C: Web Capture, App Activation, Web or App Payment

User gives email/phone on web, gets sent an SMS link to install, paywall is in-app.

Use when: lower-priced subs, want broader reach, audience is mobile-first.

Pattern B (Web Payment) — The Mechanic

Paid ad / SEO / TikTok bio
   ↓
Landing page with quiz (high conversion)
   ↓
Personalized result + plan
   ↓
Email capture
   ↓
Stripe checkout — PAID HERE
   ↓
"Get the app" page with QR + App Store / Play badges
   ↓
App install (deferred deep link carries paid status)
   ↓
App opens, calls backend with email/token, recognizes paid user
   ↓
Skip in-app paywall, go straight to product

Critical engineering pieces:

  • Deferred deep link with email/token (Branch / AppsFlyer / your own URL scheme handler post-Universal-Link)
  • Backend that maps Stripe customer → app user on first sign-in
  • "Already paid" check on every paywall surface
  • App Store / Play compliance: don't show pricing inside the app that's better than IAP if you do offer IAP (Apple), or use external payment link entitlement

Apple / Google Compliance

RuleAppleGoogle Play
Can users pay on web?Yes, but app cannot link to web payment from inside app (with exceptions: External Purchase Link Entitlement in US/EU/Korea/Netherlands)Yes, with User Choice Billing in EEA + some markets
Can app inform user that paid features exist on web?Reader app exception (3.1.3a) for some categories; otherwise must not direct out-of-appMore flexible; can mention web outside checkout flows
Can the funnel start on web?Yes — no rule against it, the rule is about in-app linkingYes
Can app sign in users who paid on web?Yes — fully allowedYes

Bottom line: Web → web payment → app install → app sign-in is fully compliant. The constraint is only on in-app linking back out.

Smart Banners & Open-in-App

For users who arrive on web while having the app installed, route them in:

ToolNotes
Apple Smart App Banner (<meta name="apple-itunes-app">)Free, Safari only, basic
Branch JourneysCross-browser, customizable, attribution built-in
AppsFlyer Smart BannerSame
Custom JSSniff user agent, detect install via Universal Link timeout pattern

For higher conversion on mobile web → app handoff:

  • Use Universal Links / App Links so the app opens directly
  • Pass context (current page / item ID) via the link
  • Fall back to App Store if not installed (deferred deep link still preserves context)

Quiz Funnel Mechanics (Pattern B)

The quiz is the conversion engine. Best practices:

  • 6–12 questions, mostly multiple choice with images
  • 30–60 seconds to complete
  • Each answer feels personalized (progress bar advances, copy reacts)
  • Email capture after results revealed but before plan / price (sunk-cost commitment)
  • Show personalized result page with "Your plan" framing
  • Plan picker with annual default, social proof above CTA
  • Stripe Checkout opens in same tab on mobile (don't use modal)

Tools: build on Next.js + Stripe + Postgres, OR use Funnelish, Heyflow, GetWaitlist for no-code.

Output Template

WEB-TO-APP FUNNEL — <App Name>

PATTERN: <A / B / C> — Reason: <why this fits the model>

FUNNEL DESIGN:

Step 1: Traffic source
  Channels: <SEO / paid social / podcast / etc.>
  Landing URL: <URL>

Step 2: Landing / quiz
  Conversion target: visit → email capture <X%>
  Quiz length: <N> questions
  Personalization axes: <list>

Step 3: Payment (if Pattern B)
  Plan structure: <list>
  Stripe vs Paddle (if EU VAT): <choice>
  Conversion target: results → paid <X%>

Step 4: App install handoff
  Method: QR code + App Store / Play badges + SMS-me-the-link
  Deferred deep link tool: <Branch / OneLink / custom>

Step 5: App sign-in & activation
  Token / email-link sign-in
  Paid status verification: <flow>
  Skip in-app paywall: yes / no
  Activation event: <define>

COMPLIANCE CHECKLIST:
  [ ] No in-app links to web checkout (or External Purchase Link Entitlement requested)
  [ ] Privacy policy covers Stripe data + App data linkage
  [ ] App Store / Play app description doesn't reference web payment
  [ ] Universal Links / App Links domain verified

MEASUREMENT:
  - Visit → quiz start
  - Quiz start → email capture
  - Email capture → checkout
  - Checkout → paid (Stripe)
  - Paid → app install
  - App install → app sign-in
  - Sign-in → activation event

EXPECTED ECONOMICS:
  Saved fee per sub vs in-app: ~15-30% of LTV
  Higher CAC on web-first: typically yes, but offset by skipping App Store fee + email capture asset

Common Mistakes

  • Pattern B without backend ready to recognize paid users → users pay on web, hit paywall in app, churn
  • No QR + SMS-me-the-link option on desktop checkout success — desktop buyers can't easily get to mobile
  • Universal Links not verified → "Open in app" goes to App Store instead
  • Putting pricing in App Store description while collecting payment on web (Apple guideline 3.1.3 violation)
  • Not capturing email before payment — losing 30–60% of would-be subscribers to retargeting
  • Stripe modal checkout on mobile — kills conversion vs full-page redirect

Cross-Skill Handoffs

  • Deep link infrastructure underlying the funnel → attribution-setup
  • The in-app onboarding once user lands → onboarding-optimization
  • The paywall (if Pattern A or C) → paywall-optimization
  • Subscription lifecycle once paid → subscription-lifecycle
  • Quiz funnel landing page SEO → not in scope (web SEO, outside ASO)
  • Paid web traffic to feed this funnel → ua-campaign (web ads)
