Working with a confident coder, you can create tailored experiences that allow you to bring a fully branded experience to your mobile app.

Considerations
There are a few considerations to have when determining if custom blocks are the best solution for your brand. Although a powerful, low-code solution, custom blocks do not support:
- Customizing app navigation
- Customizing style across the app
- Customizing the cart, checkout area, or member account area
- Adding camera or general augmented reality (AR )needs
- Ie., Virtual Try On
- Using react or Vue JS code for implementation
- Placement for custom blocks is only supported on the homepage or product detail page
Please Note: We are always working to expand the functionality of custom blocks to offer more flexibility when designing your app. To review current capabilities and a change log of new features please review our developer docs.
Custom blocks are only available to Tapcart Enterprise customers.
