Utilizing the Passenger Web App (PWA)
Over the last few weeks, we’ve seen increased interest in Limo Anywhere's Passenger Web App (PWA), so we thought this would be a good opportunity to take a deeper look. The PWA has a one-time setup fee of $199 and a recurring fee of $99 per month.

Understanding the PWA URL Links

- Book a Ride: This URL link will direct your client to your PWA main page, where they can book a ride.
- Sign In: This URL link will direct your client to your PWA Sign In page, allowing them to sign into their account.
- Create Account: This URL link will direct your client to your PWA page for creating an account.

Customizing Your PWA
- Click the ‘Customization’ tab to access your company’s personalization settings.
- Choose your desired accent color. The accent color that you choose will be applied to links, buttons, and selections in your PWA. By default, your system includes blue and green, or you can add your own color either by selecting it from the slider or by entering the appropriate HEX code.
- Enter the desired short name for your PWA. We recommend up to 11 alphanumeric characters and spaces but you can enter a maximum of 20. The short name is the name of the PWA that will appear on the mobile device if installed.
- Upload your app icon. The app icon must be a JPG or non-transparent PNG and must be exactly 1024 pixels x 1024 pixels.
- Upload the logo that will appear on your PWA’s home screen. If you are uploading an image as your Company logo it must be a transparent PNG with a minimum width of 400 pixels.
- Choose a background color. If you do not use a Background Image or if your Background Image does not load then the Background Color will be shown.
- Choose or upload a background image. There are 10 images available in the system or you can choose to upload your own. If you select ‘No Image’ then your logo will be shown on the background color you chose in the step above.
- Choose your Call to Action. The Call to Action appears over the location selections on the Home Page. You can select one of the three examples in the system or create your own (max 32 characters).
- Click ‘Save & Publish’ when finished.
Once the PWA has been saved and published,you’re ready to share the URL Links with your clients.
