One link for RuStore, App Store and Google Play

If your app is in RuStore, you have one more address to share — and one more way for a link to land in the wrong store. SetLinks — smart links for apps — puts RuStore into the same link and QR code as the App Store, Google Play and AppGallery.

Where a phone goes

A link holds an address for each store. When someone opens it, the device is recognised and sent on:

An Android phone with Google Play is sent to Google Play when the link has both addresses. If you want Android users to install from RuStore — because your app is only there, or because it is the store you support — leave the Google Play address empty, and every Android phone will go to RuStore.

Set it up

  1. Find the RuStore address of your app: https://www.rustore.ru/catalog/app/ followed by the package name, for example https://www.rustore.ru/catalog/app/ru.example.app.
  2. Create a link and paste the RuStore address alongside the App Store, Google Play and AppGallery ones you have.
  3. Set a fallback: the page every other device gets, such as your website.
  4. Check it: open the device redirect test on a phone to see where it would land, then share the link or download its QR code.

Why one link instead of a row of badges

A page with four store badges asks people to know which store their phone uses. Many do not. A link that decides for them skips that step, works in a bio or a message where only one link fits, and fits into a single QR code on a poster or package.

What you see

Clicks by day, platform, country and source, with QR scans counted on their own and link-preview bots left out. Change the stores at any time — the address and printed codes stay the same.

Questions

Can a link send Android users to RuStore instead of Google Play?

Yes: leave the link’s Google Play address empty. Android phones then go to RuStore. When a link has both, Google Play comes first.

Does it work with RuStore’s own buttons?

Yes. RuStore’s buttons link to your app’s RuStore page; a SetLinks link can be used next to them, or instead of a row of badges.
