If you comment, we'll even share some stats on how our customers have done selling their own sticker pack apps, discount codes and more.
I know many CartoonSmart subscribers have started selling stickers in the App Store, and we've got a new version of the Sticker Kit to help you monetize all your packs. You can update your existing apps with this version and include buttons in the footer to send users to your other apps in the store. This can be other sticker packs or any of your existing apps (just has to be YOUR apps, not anyone else's).
Enjoy and happy selling! Find out more about all our kits at https://CartoonSmart.com
