The Power of Web-Based Onboarding Funnels
In mobile apps, seamless onboarding is extremely important for user retention. Traditionally, onboarding funnels have been limited by the scope of the app. However, a new approach is now gaining momentum: web-based onboarding funnels. This method provides an innovative way to guide users through the onboarding process without the constraints of app store approval and other barriers. Here's a deep dive into how Web2Wave's service can transform your app's user onboarding process using web2web as a part of web2app technology.
What Are Web2Web Funnels?
Basically, web2web is a part of web2app technology. While web2app is focused on a smooth transition of users into a mobile app, web2web allows users to know more about the product. Usually by going through a web onboarding process. Web2Wave offers a solution for creating a web funnel. It is an intermediate stage before the user becomes fully engaged with your mobile app. Instead of diving directly into the app, users first interact with the web version of your signup process. This approach offers several benefits, including increased accessibility and control over the registration process.
Web2App, on the other hand, focuses on creating efficient funnel transitions from web app to app, where users complete their initial web interaction and then are seamlessly redirected to app store pages or directly into the app.
How Web2Web as a Part of Web2App Funnels Work?
- The user sees the ad online. Facebook Ads, Instagram, TikTok, Google Ads, your website – launch whatever you find the most performing
- The ad redirects the user to a web quiz
- The user completes the quiz, which explains the product to the user and warms them up before the payment
- The user subscribes to the paid version of the app on the web using Stripe/PayPal or other systems
- The user gets a deep link to install the app or logs into the app using an email
- Voila! Now product managers, analytics, and marketers see what ad hooked this user and much more data about them (including gender, age, interests, and lifestyle)
By adding classic Web2App to the process, the flow becomes even smoother. The funnel will be able to redirect the user directly to the app store or automatically initiate an app download, increasing the conversion rate from web to app environment.
What Web2Web and Web2App Funnels Will Bring to You
1. Improved Marketing Attribution
With Apple's IDFA restrictions and the upcoming Google Privacy Sandbox, tracking user behavior and attributing conversions on mobile platforms has become increasingly difficult.
Web2web and web2app funnels provide precise marketing attribution with UTM tags, allowing for better budget allocation and ROI analysis.
Web2app complements this by offering additional user data insights, helping you understand which web-driven strategies most effectively lead to app installations.
2. Lower Commissions, from 30% to 5%
Avoid the 15-30% commissions imposed by Apple and Google, which can significantly impact profit margins.
You will pay lower commissions by processing transactions on the web using Stripe, Paddle, or any other payment processor - 2-7%.
3. No more stuck on app review
Web paywalls are not bound by app store rules, offering complete freedom to design and optimize user experiences.
Developers can experiment with pricing, discounts, and offers without restrictions.
Web2app also provides more flexibility in bypassing app store regulations by enabling smoother pre-installation user engagement on the web.
4. Higher Revenue Retention
Due to payments made on the web, users do not cancel subscriptions as much as on mobile, which helps to get even higher LTV.
Build customized win-back strategies and offer flexible discounts for those users who want to unsubscribe.

Why Include a Web Acquisition Funnel in Your Marketing Strategy?
