Link Handling (In-App & External Links)

Whenever a user clicks a hyperlink inside your mobile application, WiXO consults your Link Handling rules to determine whether to render the page inside the app shell or hand off the request to the device’s native browser (Safari on iOS or Chrome on Android).

WiXO In-App vs External Browser Link Rules

Two Rule Categories

Section titled “Two Rule Categories”

📱 In-App URLs

Links that render seamlessly inside your application window, preserving the native navigation bar and active shopping session.

🌐 External Browser URLs

Links that launch the system browser (Safari / Chrome). Ideal for external partnerships, payment gateways, and social networks.

Practical Recommendations

Section titled “Practical Recommendations”

1. In-App URLs

Section titled “1. In-App URLs”

By default, URLs under your primary store domain stay inside the app.

  • If your brand operates secondary subdomains (e.g. https://blog.trendstyle.bg or https://checkout.trendstyle.bg), add them here to ensure shoppers are never booted out of your app environment.

2. External Browser URLs

Section titled “2. External Browser URLs”

We strongly suggest assigning the following link categories to open externally:

  • Social Media Profiles: https://instagram.com/*, https://facebook.com/*, https://tiktok.com/*
  • External Payment Gateways: Bank 3D Secure verification redirects or external wallet pages.
  • Courier & Shipping Trackers: Carrier tracking links (e.g. DHL, FedEx, local postal services).
  • External PDF catalogs or partner sites.
