From store to app store

Shopify mobile app development in fourteen days. Three steps, one of them yours.

You connect your Shopify store and approve a design. We do the rest, including the part everybody dreads — Apple and Google.

  1. Day 1

    You connect Shopify

    Products, collections, inventory and orders come across on their own. There is no second catalogue to build and nothing to re-enter. If your store has ten thousand SKUs, that is fine — it is the same one click.

    Your part: about ten minutes.

  2. Days 2–9

    We design it around your brand

    Theme, colours, typography, homepage layout and navigation. You see it, you tell us what to change, we change it. The screens on our design page are the sort of thing you will be looking at.

    Your part: look at it and be honest.

  3. Days 10–14

    We publish it

    We set up the developer accounts, prepare the store listings, submit to the App Store and Google Play, and handle the review — including the rejections, which happen to everybody and which we have been through enough times to answer quickly.

    Your part: none.

The honest part

What you never have to do

Most of the reasons a store owner puts this off are on this list.

  • Hire a developer
  • Maintain a second catalogue
  • Touch your Shopify theme
  • Learn a second dashboard
  • Open an Apple or Google developer account yourself
  • Deal with an App Store rejection
  • Change how you take payment
  • Re-shoot your product photography

Afterwards

What happens once it is live

It keeps itself current

Add a product or change a price in Shopify and the app follows. You are not maintaining two stores.

We keep it running

iOS and Android both change every year. Our first app went live in October 2021 and is still being updated — that is what maintenance actually looks like.

You start sending

The first push notification is usually the moment the app pays for itself. We will help you write it.

Launch, publishing, and what happens after

The fourteen days end at submission. What comes after them is the part that decides whether the app is still working in three years.

Submission to both stores

We publish your Shopify app to the App Store and to Google Play under your own developer accounts. Apple reviews in one to three days typically; Google is usually faster. We handle the listing, the screenshots, the privacy disclosures and any review response.

What we build with

React Native, producing a real iOS app and a real Android app from one codebase. That is the Shopify mobile app technology decision and it is why a change reaches both platforms in the same release rather than one running three versions behind.

Maintenance is not optional

iOS and Android both change every year and an unmaintained app breaks on somebody else's schedule. Ongoing Shopify mobile app management is part of the arrangement, and the alternative — a build with no maintenance — is a cost deferred rather than avoided.

Ecommerce mobile app development at other scales

Professional Shopify mobile app development for a growing brand and enterprise Shopify mobile app development for a Plus merchant are the same process with different constraints — catalogue size, peak load, and how many people have to approve a screen. More on Plus and B2B

Migrating from another builder

If your app is currently on a subscription platform, the move is a Shopify mobile app migration and its cost depends almost entirely on whose developer account the listing sits in. What switching actually costs

The design round is yours

One step of the three belongs to the merchant, and it is approval. You can shorten it considerably by assembling the screens yourself first.

Ecommerce mobile application development is the same three steps whatever it is called — deployment, setup, implementation, launch services. What varies is who does which part. Here the merchant does one of the three, and our Shopify app development experts do the other two, including the Shopify mobile app deployment to both stores and everything that follows it.

Fourteen days from the day we connect your store.
