Custom Product Pages: The Complete Guide for the App Store
Custom product pages let you publish up to 70 tailored App Store pages with their own screenshots, URLs, deep links and keywords. Learn how to plan them.

Quick answer: Custom product pages are extra versions of your App Store product page, currently up to 70 per app. Each can have its own screenshots, app previews and promotional text, plus a unique URL you use in ads, emails and social posts. You can also give each page a deep link (iOS 18 and later) and keywords so it appears in search. Every page goes through App Review, independently of app updates.
What Custom Product Pages Are and What You Can Change
Your default product page has to speak to everyone. Custom product pages let you show a specific audience the part of your app they came for: the yoga plans to the person who tapped a yoga ad, the shared budgets to someone who clicked a couples' finance post.
| Detail | What Apple currently allows |
|---|---|
| Number of pages | Up to 70 additional versions for iPhone and iPad |
| What can vary | Screenshots, app previews, promotional text |
| What stays the same | App name, subtitle, icon, description, price |
| Starting point | A blank page or a copy of your default page |
| Localization | Custom assets and text for any of the page's localizations |
| Unique URL | Each page gets its own link, built by adding a product page ID to your default URL |
| Deep link | Optional, sends people to a specific place in your app (iOS and iPadOS 18 or later) |
| Keywords | Optional, so the page can appear in search for those terms |
| Review | Submitted for App Review, independently of a new app version |
| Analytics | Impressions, downloads, redownloads, conversion rate, retention and proceeds per page |
Custom product pages can appear in several places: wherever you share the URL, in Apple Ads on the Today tab, Search tab and search results, in editorially curated stories and collections, and in StoreKit-rendered ads from ad networks that pass a custom product page identifier.
When to Use Custom Product Pages
Apple's own custom product pages page reports that developers see a 2.5 percentage point increase in conversion on average when referring people to a custom product page, compared with a 1.6% average conversion rate on default product pages. That's Apple's aggregate figure; your results depend on your traffic and how well each page matches it. The common use cases:
- Paid campaigns by theme. One page per ad angle, so the first screenshot repeats the ad's promise.
- Apple Ads. Use custom pages in ads and create search result ad variations by keyword theme. Our guide to Apple Ads and ASO explains how the two connect.
- Organic keyword themes. Assign keywords so a tailored page appears for searches that match its intent.
- Links you control. Email campaigns, your website, creator partnerships and social posts can each point to the most relevant page.
- Seasons and events. A holiday or back-to-school page with matching screenshots and promotional text.
- Deep-linked journeys. With a deep link, someone who already has your app can be taken straight to the feature the page promoted.
Note: When you assign keywords, Apple asks that they match the page's intent and that each keyword combination be unique to a single product page. Treat keyword-driven pages as a precise tool, not a way to cover every search term.
How to Plan Your Custom Product Pages
Start with your traffic, not with the 70-page limit. Each page needs enough visitors to tell you whether it works, so a few well-targeted pages beat dozens of thin ones.
Here's a plan for a hypothetical fitness app, Corelab:
| Page | Traffic source | Lead screenshot message | Promotional text angle | Deep link |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yoga | Yoga-themed ads and creator links | "Beginner yoga in 15 minutes" | New flows added this month | Yoga plans |
| Strength | Strength ads and Apple Ads theme | "Build strength with just dumbbells" | Free 4-week starter plan | Strength plans |
| Low impact | Ads aimed at joint-friendly workouts | "Gentle workouts, real results" | Chair and standing routines | Low-impact library |
| Running | Running keyword theme | "Your first 5K, week by week" | Plans for every pace | Running plans |
| New Year | Seasonal campaign | "Start the 30-day challenge" | Challenge dates and prize badges | Challenge screen |
Plan each row before you design anything: if you can't name the traffic source, you probably don't need the page yet.
How to Create a Custom Product Page Step by Step
- Open your app in App Store Connect and go to Custom Product Pages.
- Create a page with an internal name you'll recognize, such as "Ads: Yoga, Q1."
- Choose blank or copy. Copying your default page is faster when only the first screenshots change.
- Add assets per localization. Upload screenshots and app previews for each required device size, and write the promotional text.
- Add a deep link if the page promotes a specific feature, and test that it opens the right screen.
- Assign keywords if you want the page to appear in search, following Apple's intent and uniqueness rules.
- Submit for review. This can happen without a new app version, and you can automate uploads and submissions with the App Store Connect API.
- Copy the page URL into your ads, emails and posts once it's approved.
Screenshots on custom pages must meet the same specifications as your default page. For current required sizes, see our App Store screenshot sizes guide.
Designing Screenshots for Custom Product Pages
The page works when the first thing people see confirms why they tapped. Keep the brand constant (same icon, name, colors and type) and change the story.
| Ad or link message | Weak first screenshot | Strong first screenshot |
|---|---|---|
| "Yoga for total beginners" | Generic home screen, "Your fitness partner" | Yoga session screen, "Beginner yoga in 15 minutes" |
| "Split rent without awkward math" | Budget overview, "Smart money app" | Shared expenses screen, "Split bills in one tap" |
| "Learn Japanese for your trip" | Course list, "Learn 30 languages" | Travel phrases screen, "Japanese for your trip" |
| "Plan your road trip" | Map screen, "The ultimate travel app" | Route with stops, "Plan every stop in minutes" |
Practical tips:
- Echo the ad's words in the first headline. Our guide to App Store screenshot captions has more headline patterns.
- Reorder, don't reinvent. Often you only need a new first two screenshots; the rest can match your default page.
- Stay accurate. Every page must follow the App Review Guidelines, so show real app UI for the feature you promise.
- Plan for maintenance. When your app's interface changes, every custom page needs new screenshots too.
Measuring Custom Product Page Performance
In App Analytics, the Acquisition area shows impressions, downloads, redownloads and conversion rate for each custom product page, along with retention and average proceeds per paying user, so you can compare each page against your default.
Questions to ask monthly:
- Does each page convert better than the default for the same traffic source?
- Do users from a page stay engaged and pay, or just download?
- Which pages have too little traffic to judge? Merge or retire them.
Our App Store conversion rate guide explains the metric itself. To test the default page that everyone else sees, use Product Page Optimization.
Custom product pages on Google Play
Google Play's closest feature is custom store listings, which target listings by country and other criteria. See our guide to Google Play custom store listings, and for the full strategy across both stores, the App Store Optimization guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many custom product pages can I create?
Apple currently allows up to 70 custom product pages per app, in addition to your default product page.
Can a custom product page have a different app icon or name?
No. Custom product pages can vary screenshots, app previews and promotional text. The name, subtitle, icon and description stay the same as your default page.
Do custom product pages appear in App Store search?
They can if you assign keywords to them; the page then appears for those searches instead of your default page. Without keywords, people reach them through your links, ads and editorial placements.
Do custom product pages need App Review?
Yes. Each page's metadata is submitted for review, but you don't need a new app version to do it.
Which iOS versions support custom product page deep links?
Apple says deep links on custom product pages require iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 or later.
