You must enable the Optimizely Configured Commerce Mobile App in the Admin Console on Configured Commerce before it can be used on a mobile device.

:::hint{type="info"}
**Note**

To adjust the setting on the Admin Console, you must have a valid Configured Commerce license that includes the Mobile SDK.
:::

## Enable the Mobile App on a website

1. Go to **Admin Console** **>** **Administration >** **Settings > Site Configurations**.
2. Change the toggle for **Enable Mobile App** to display **Yes**. The default is **No**.
3. Click **Save**.

### If multiple websites exist

If you have multiple websites, each website can have an app. Work with your partner to set up each mobile instance.

Complete the following steps to enable the Mobile App for each website:

1. Decide which websites can be accessed with a mobile app and go to **Admin Console > Administration** > **Settings > Site Configurations**.
   - If all websites should be made available, select **Global Defaults** from the **Configuring** drop-down list.

If only specific websites should be made accessible, select each website and complete steps 2 and 3 for each website.
:::

2. Change the toggle for **Enable Mobile App** to display **Yes** in the **General** section. The default is **No**.
3. Click **Save**.

## Adjust catalog and checkout settings

1. Go to **Admin Console** **>** **Administration >** **Settings > Mobile App**.
2. Click **Select Category** if you want to designate a **Starting Category for Browsing**. If you select a category, users on the mobile app first see the child categories of the selected category when browsing categories. If you do not select a category, all parent categories are visible when users are browsing categories.
3. Verify that you want the **Has Checkout** setting to be **Yes** (the default). If set to **No**, it hides the cart screen and checkout functionality in the mobile app.
4. Change **Override Checkout Navigation** to **Yes** if you want to enter a **Checkout URL** to guide the mobile app user to the browser experience when they tap the checkout button. Because custom changes to the checkout process on your Configured Commerce website do not carry over to the mobile app, ensure the user is directed to the ideal process.
5. Click **Save**.

## Update the styling and URLs

After enabling the Mobile App, you must configure the primary color, privacy policy, and terms of use.

Upon selecting **Save**, a new **Mobile App** menu item displays in the primary navigation.

1. Select **Mobile App** from the main navigation menu.
   The **Mobile App** page displays all websites for which you have enabled it.
2. Click **Edit** for each website you wish to configure.
3. Enter the hex code within the **Details** tab for the **Primary Color** displayed throughout the app.
4. Enter any URLs for the **Privacy Policy** and **Terms of Use**.
5. Select **Save**.
