Apps — switching them on and placing them
All apps are included. Turn one on, set it up, and let Chip add it to your pages.

Apps are business tools that live on your website: bookings, reservations, forms, newsletter, QR signups, events, menu, reviews, shop, photo gallery, announcement bar, AI assistant and visitor stats. Every app is included in your plan — there's no extra charge per app.
Turn an app on
- Open Apps in your site's sidebar. Apps suggested for your type of business are marked.
- Click an app, then Turn on. Sensible defaults are set up for you.
- The app now appears in your sidebar with its own pages (for example Bookings, Calendar, Services, Staff, Hours & closures, Settings for Appointments).
Put it on your website
After you turn an app on, its page offers Add it to my site: Chip edits your pages to place it in a sensible spot (often its own page plus a link in the menu). You can also ask in the Builder chat: "Put the booking widget on the home page."
Some apps appear on every page automatically and don't need placing: Announcement bar, AI assistant (the chat bubble) and Visitor stats.
Apps are built into your DollarSite website, so they work on your site and nowhere else.
Turning an app off
Click Turn off on the app's page. Your data (bookings, subscribers, products…) is kept, so switching it back on later brings everything back. Remember to ask Chip to remove the app from your pages too.
Apps work before you make it live to the Internet
Apps work in the Builder preview, so you can test a booking or a form before going live.
