How to get started with Boxo

Boxo has an easy to use process and is suitable for users with mobile development experience. Below is a detailed guide covering installation, integration, feature usage and advanced operations.

1. Registration and login

Visit the Boxo website and click the "Get Started" or "Book a Demo" button in the upper right corner. Fill in your company name, email and application information to register your account. Once you have registered, log in Boxo Dashboardto get the API key and developer documentation. The documentation is located at <code>https://docs.boxo.io/</code>This section contains SDK installation and configuration details.

2. Installing the SDK

Boxo provides SDKs for iOS, Android, React Native and Flutter, which are compatible with major development frameworks. The installation steps are as follows:

• iOS: add via CocoaPods <code>pod 'AppboxoSDK'</code>or use the Swift Package Manager to import the <code>AppboxoSDK</code>The
• Android (operating system): in build.gradle file by adding the <code>implementation 'io.appboxo:sdk:1.0.0'</code>The
• React Native: Run <code>npm install @appboxo/react-native-sdk</code>For more information, please refer to the GitHub repository <code>sample-react-native-app</code>The
• Flutter: Add <code>appboxo_sdk: ^1.0.0</code> until (a time) pubspec.yamlreference <code>sample-flutter-app</code>The
  After installation, initialize the SDK in the application code. for example:

import AppBoxoSDK
let config = Config(clientId: "your_client_id")
Appboxo.shared.setConfig(config: config)

Once initialization is complete, enter the API key (obtained from the dashboard) to connect to the Boxo service.

3. Integration of mini-applications

The integration process usually takes 3-4 weeks and is divided into the following steps:

• API Evaluation: Contact the Boxo team (e-mail) <code>info@appboxo.com</code>), confirming application authorization (e.g., SSO) and payment system compatibility.
• Connection Authorization and Payment: Connect the application's login and payment systems to Boxo, which provides a sandbox environment for testing payment callbacks and authorization processes.
• Select Service: Log in to the dashboard, go to the "Miniapps" page and browse the library of services (e.g. "Marketplace", "Hotel Booking"). Click on "Integrate". Click "Integrate" to select the desired miniapp.
• Customized Interface: Adjust the colors, logo and layout of the mini-application in the "Customization" option. For example, change the <code>background-color: #FFFFFF</code> Or upload a brand logo.
• Testing and Deployment: Test the functionality in the sandbox environment and click "Deploy" to deploy via the cloud after confirming that there are no errors. No need to submit to the app store, the update will take effect in real time.

4. Operation of main functions

• Add Mini App: On the "Miniapps" page of the dashboard, select a service (e.g. "eSIM" or "Flight Booking"). Click "Integrate" and follow the wizard to configure parameters (e.g. API key, service area). When finished, the mini-app is automatically embedded in the application.
• AI Screen GenerationBoxo supports AI tools (e.g. v0, Lovable) to generate interactive pages. Login to the dashboard, connect to AI tools, input page requirements (e.g., "e-commerce product display"), generate code, and then turn it into a native experience via JS SDK. Support haptic feedback, camera and other functions. After generation, click "Deploy" to go live.
• Revenue managementBoxo supports pro-rated commissions, which are negotiated with the team, by embedding a third-party mini-application (e.g., a rewards or referral system) and viewing the commissions on the "Revenue" page of the dashboard.
• Cloud Updates: New features or fixes are uploaded via the "Updates" page in the dashboard, and then clicked on "Publish" to take effect in real time, without having to resubmit the application.

5. Special features in detail

• White Label Customization: Boxo's mini-apps support deep branding. Developers can adjust interface elements (e.g. button colors, fonts) to match the app style. For example, uploading a logo file in the dashboard, or modifying the <code>color: #000000</code> Change the theme color. After adjustment, click "Preview" to see the effect, save it.
• Enterprise-grade securityBoxo uses AES-256 encryption to protect data transmission and storage, and all requests are cryptographically signed. Developers can view logs and monitor unusual requests on the "Security" page of the dashboard. The platform is compliant with global standards such as GDPR and PCI-DSS.
• AI Personalized Recommendations: Boxo's AI module analyzes user behavior (e.g. browsing history, buying habits) to generate personalized recommendations. For example, in an e-commerce mini-application, it recommends products that users may like to improve conversion rates.
• Rapid deployment: While traditional development requires building a separate SDK for each service, Boxo supports all services with a single integration. New features go live in weeks, much faster than months for traditional development.

6. Advanced use

• Building a Shared Function LibraryCreate feature libraries on the "Feature Library" page of the dashboard so that multiple applications can reuse the same mini-application. For example, share the "Bill Payment" feature to minimize duplicate development.
• Integration of third-party servicesBoxo supports the embedding of external services such as Airalo's eSIM. This can be enabled by selecting a pre-configured template and entering the API key through the "Third-Party" page of the dashboard.
• data analysis: The dashboard's "Analytics" page provides user interaction data (e.g., click-through rate, dwell time) to help optimize feature layouts and recommendation algorithms.

7. Caveats

• Ensure that the minimum system version supported by the app (iOS 12+, Android 5.0+) is compatible with the SDK.
• The tests are performed using a sandbox environment (<code>https://sandbox.boxo.io</code>) to avoid affecting the production environment.
• Regularly update the API key (on the "Security" page of the dashboard) to prevent leaks.
• For new features, submit a request to <code>https://www.boxo.io/feature-request</code>The
