Install as Desktop App
You can install the Kaniva admin as an app of its own, with its own window and icon.
How to install
- Log in to your admin in Chrome, Edge or another Chromium-based browser.
- Look for the install icon (a monitor with a down arrow) in the address bar.
- Click it and confirm.
- The admin opens in its own window, with no address bar or browser tabs.
On Safari (Mac): use File > Add to Dock.
On a phone: tap Share and choose Add to Home Screen.
What you get
- Its own window, named after your store ("Your store Admin"), that opens on the dashboard.
- An icon on your taskbar, dock or home screen. It uses your store's favicon; without one, it is your store's first letter on your primary color.
- Scan stock shortcut (Advanced Inventory): long-press (or right-click) the app icon to go straight to scanning stock.
- An offline page: if your internet drops, you see You're Offline with a Try Again button instead of a browser error.
- Always up to date: the app loads the admin from the server each time, so there is nothing to update.
Title bar color
The app's title bar and your phone's bars follow the admin: white in Light, dark in Dark. Change it with the Appearance button (the sun) in the top bar.
Uninstalling
- Windows, Mac, Linux: open the three-dot menu in the app's title bar and choose Uninstall.
- Phone: long-press the icon and remove it like any other app.
