Templates

Lite Approach

Enter Templates, Templates are a pre-built web apps and mobile apps built on top of Tradly Headless API. With templates, you can quickly get your idea into live mode which allows you to provide a simple onboarding for your users, add content, make transactions, etc.

Internally, our motivations is to provide the base template for you to START, and also provide VISUALLY how Tradly API can be used to build a variety of marketplaces, stores and platforms. Go to Tradly.app/templates 

Note:

  • You can change from one template to another template. This will not affect your platform settings. It only change the appearance of web or mobile apps
  • Templates are duplication - overriding the existing template setup. 

Advanced Approach

However, for a matured business, Templates may not be the perfect choice. So for anyone who wants totally a new way of UI/UX, it’s advisable to build front end templates from scratch. Using Tradly boilerplates available in Github, you can build templates on top of Headless API.

Our advice is to take an evolution approach where you can continuously improve your UI/UX.
