Multiple Frontends

A client refers to a frontend interface developed for different user groups or roles, all sharing a single backend database. For example, an e-commerce app may have separate frontends for users and administrators, or a business may create different portals for various departments.

Value

1. Customized Experience: Develop dedicated frontends for different user groups to provide a tailored experience and improve satisfaction.
2. Security and Access Control: Assign different access levels based on user roles and permissions. Admin portals may have advanced permissions, while user portals allow only basic operations.
3. Improved Efficiency: Specialized portals for each department streamline workflows and boost productivity.
4. Reduced Complexity: Separating features for different user groups reduces system complexity and maintenance costs.
5. Unified Data Management: All portals share the same backend database, ensuring data consistency and simplifying management.

Multi-Client Guide

1. Upgrade to Pro and Purchase Additional Clients:
   Projects must be upgraded to Pro to add multiple clients. If already Pro, adding a new client requires purchasing the Pro plan again (each additional client is half the current Pro price). For example: Pro ($99) + one client ($99/2) = $148.50/month. Upon purchase, the platform refunds based on the remaining days of the previous order.

2. After Purchasing Additional Clients:
   The project will be split into three portals:

   • Server (Backend): For managing data models and performing data management tasks.
   • Web Client: The default client for building frontend pages.
   • New Client: The newly added portal for designing additional frontend pages.

3. Renewing Clients:
   Renewal pricing includes all clients and the Pro plan. To exclude a client from renewal, delete it before renewing.

4. Version Downgrade:
   Downgrading to a non-Pro version makes all additional clients read-only (cannot be edited or published). The default client remains unaffected.

5. Reactivating Clients After Upgrading to Pro Again:
   If the project expires and is later upgraded to Pro, you can choose to reactivate previously purchased clients (one-time only). Unactivated clients will be deleted.

Notes

1. Projects must be Pro to add multiple clients.
2. Publishing with Custom Domain: For new clients, you can apply for a subdomain from a domain provider and publish each client with its own domain.
3. Deleting Clients: To avoid renewing a client, delete it before the next renewal.
4. Reactivating Clients: After expiration, when upgrading to Pro again, you can choose to reactivate previously purchased clients; otherwise, they will be deleted.
5. Clients that expired before January 22, 2025, will be deleted.

Web and Native App Clients

Within a single project, Web and Native App are independent clients with separate page and component trees. They share the same backend but are not automatically converted between each other. For publishing each client independently, see App Deployment.
