Launch a custom mobile app for your Shopify store

Shopify brands that want an app have traditionally had to make a choice: live with the limitations of a no-code app builder, or the cost and complexity of a fully custom build.

A DIY app builder

  • Your storefront rebuilt in their templates
  • Custom theme work left behind
  • Integrations limited to what they support
  • A second storefront for your team to keep up

A “from scratch” custom app

  • Six figures and six months or more to launch
  • Ongoing complexity of managing a separate codebase
  • Lag time on every new feature or store update
  • Premium cost to rebuild what already works
MobiLoud

All the freedom of a custom app, with one store to run

MobiLoud builds your app on top of the same code as your existing site, not as a standalone product. That means you get a fully custom native app, with one store powering both channels, and one codebase to maintain.

  • A custom app, designed for you

    Home screens, navigation and menus designed specially for the app, all powered by your Shopify backend.

  • Your whole stack, from day one

    The same tech stack, including your apps for loyalty, search, subscriptions and more, powers your mobile app too.

  • Native features, as you need them

    Add app-exclusive features like Face ID, barcode scanning, custom SDKs and more, scoped to your needs.

  • One store to run

    Everything runs from the same backend, so you don’t have to juggle two separate stores.

  • A team to maintain it

    We publish your app and update it for every iOS and Android release.

  • Live in 2 to 4 weeks

    Go live in weeks, not months, with a proven process and team behind you.

How it works

How your Shopify store becomes a custom app

MobiLoud builds custom native iOS and Android apps from your existing Shopify store, without rebuilding it. Your full tech stack and everything custom keep working, and there is no second storefront to manage.

No template decides what your app can do

MobiLoud lets you break free from the traditional limitations of no-code app builders. You’re not building from a template. You’re building a custom mobile app, with every feature your customers expect from their favorite shopping apps.

Native navigation

A tab bar and menus designed around your store, with the transitions and back gestures people expect from an app.

Push notifications via OneSignal, or Klaviyo on Enterprise

Campaigns, abandoned cart reminders, back-in-stock alerts and order updates, straight to your customers’ lock screens.

Always signed in

Customers log in once and stay logged in, so coming back to buy again takes a tap.

Social sign-in

Sign in with Apple, Google or Facebook, so new customers can create an account in seconds.

Deep links

Every push, email, text and ad can open the exact product or collection in your app.

App-only content

App-exclusive products, early access and discount codes, set up in your own store and shown only in the app.

Smart app banners

A banner on your mobile site invites shoppers to download your app, and opens it for those who have it.

Analytics and attribution

Installs, sessions and revenue from your app in GA4 and Firebase, with attribution for your ad campaigns.

Native features, built to order

When we say no limits, we mean it. We let you build the app you want, with all the native features that your site doesn’t have. Just bring us your requirements, and we’ll confirm we can make it happen.

  • Face ID and biometric login

    Let customers sign in and check out with a glance.

  • Barcode and QR scanning

    Scan products, receipts or loyalty cards with the camera.

  • Location tools

    Use the phone’s location to point customers to a store near them.

  • Custom SDKs

    Add custom integrations or native tools, built to your specs.

Your Shopify tech stack powering a native app

When you launch an app, you want to be able to carry over the same tech stack — not have to juggle two different stacks. MobiLoud is the only app builder that lets you do that, with all your integrations, theme work and custom features carrying over seamlessly to your app.

Works with every Shopify app on your store

Your reviews app, loyalty program, subscription portal, and every other tool you use on your site carries over to your mobile app, leaving no feature gaps or separate integrations to maintain.

The only app builder that works with every Shopify app, third-party integration, feature and framework.

Your brand, not a template

Your brand, fonts, colors and theme functionality carry over. Our team redesigns the shopping experience for the phone.

Your checkout

Customers stay signed in and buy through your own Shopify checkout, with Shop Pay, the payment methods you offer and your shipping and tax rules.

Products and merchandising

Launch a collection or change a price in Shopify admin and it’s in your app the moment it’s on your site.

Discounts and promotions

Discount codes, automatic discounts and Shopify Functions work across your site and your app, and any offer can be limited to app customers.

Customer accounts and loyalty points

Customers stay signed in between visits, with their order history, store credit and points a tap away.

Metafields and custom content

Size guides, ingredient panels, bundles and everything else you’ve built with metafields and metaobjects are in your app from launch.

Shopify Markets

If you sell in several countries, one app covers every market, currency and language your store does.

Subscriptions

Subscribers manage their deliveries in your app through the same portal they use on your site, whether it’s ReCharge, Skio or another subscription app.

“Before, we were basically maintaining two separate stores. Now, any changes we make to our Shopify store automatically reflect in the app. It’s saved us hours of repetitive work.”
Jeremy Rice Co-founder, House Floral

A custom Shopify mobile app your existing team can manage

Your current team builds, ships and updates the app’s content and core UI through your existing Shopify backend. You don’t need to hire app developers or work in a separate CMS.

Your team

Builds and ships from your Shopify admin

  • Products, collections and promotions, managed in Shopify as they are today
  • Theme and design changes, published once for your site and your app
  • Your Shopify apps, set up where they are now
  • App-only pages, drops and offers, built in your own store

Our team

Builds, publishes and maintains your app

  • The native iOS and Android build, design and testing
  • App Store and Google Play submission and reviews
  • Updates for every iOS and Android release and store policy change
  • Push notification setup and guidance on your campaigns
  • A launch plan for installs: site banners, email, social and QR codes
  • Launch playbook, install growth and, on Enterprise, monthly performance reviews

No second storefront. No developers to hire. Nothing to babysit.

What an app does for your Shopify store

Thousands of Shopify brands like yours use their apps to make more sales from the customers they already have, by offering a better mobile UX and an easier way for customers to come back and buy again.

Talk to us

Your brand, on your customers’ home screens

An app changes how your best customers shop with you. You become an icon on their home screen instead of a tab they have to find, a notification on their lock screen instead of an email in a promotions folder, and the first place they go when they’re ready to buy.

Cold Culture's app icon on a phone's home screen, and its lock screen with a notification that a new drop is live and another that an order is on its way

A channel you own

Reach your customers with a push notification whenever you have something to say, without paying for every click and impression.

Your best customers buy more

App users come back more often and spend more each time, because buying from you is always one tap away.

Checkout in a few taps

Customers stay signed in with their details saved, so buying again takes seconds instead of a form.

Customers who stay

Points, perks and app-only offers give customers a reason to come back to you instead of shopping around.

Launches that land

Every drop, restock and sale reaches your app users first, on their lock screens, the moment it goes live.

A brand they see every day

Your icon sits beside the apps people use daily, and reminds them of you every time they unlock their phone.

Getting live

Go live in 2 to 4 weeks

We do the work. You bring the assets and sign off where it’s needed.

  1. Week 1

    Kickoff

    An onboarding call to agree on your app’s configuration and launch plan, and access to your store and developer accounts.

  2. Weeks 1 to 2

    Build

    We build your app from your live store, with its own tab bar, navigation and home screen. Every app on your storefront works in it, and you have a working preview by week two.

  3. Weeks 1 to 2

    Customize and test

    Design and navigation tuned to your brand, push set up on your own account, and analytics in GA4 and Firebase. We test on iOS and Android, then you give the final approval.

  4. Weeks 2 to 4

    Launch

    We submit your app to the App Store and Google Play and manage both reviews, which usually take one to two weeks. Then your launch plan goes live.

For the people who sign it off

We can deliver everything your legal, security and finance teams will ask for:

  • Data Processing Agreement and GDPR documentation
  • Insurance certificates on request
  • Custom contracts, redlines and payment terms
  • Payment by invoice or bank transfer
  • Customer data stays in Shopify, not on our servers

Can I turn my Shopify store into a mobile app?

You can turn your Shopify store into a custom iOS and Android app with MobiLoud, without rebuilding anything. We build the app from your live store and design it for the phone, so your theme, Shopify apps and checkout power it from day one, and our team publishes and maintains it for you.

How is MobiLoud different from a Shopify app builder?

MobiLoud differs from a Shopify app builder in where your app comes from and who looks after it. With a builder, you rebuild your storefront in its templates and your team designs and updates the app in its editor. MobiLoud builds a custom app from your live store and designs it around your brand, so every app and customization works, custom native features can be added on Enterprise, and our team handles the build and the upkeep.

Can you build custom features into my app?

MobiLoud can build custom native features into your app, such as Face ID and biometric login, barcode and QR scanning, location tools and SDK integrations like AppsFlyer or Adjust.

Doesn’t Shopify already have an app for my store?

Shopify doesn’t give your store an app with your name on it. Shopify’s own app is for running your store, and the Shop app lists products from thousands of stores under Shopify’s brand. A branded app of your own, on the App Store and Google Play, comes from an app builder, an agency or a service like MobiLoud.

Can my app look different from my website?

Your app can look as close to your website or as different from it as you want. We design app-specific home screens, navigation and menus, and can take that through to product pages and the cart, while your store powers everything underneath. You can also add pages that only appear in the app, built and managed in Shopify. How far the redesign goes depends on your plan.

Is a MobiLoud app a native app or a wrapper?

A MobiLoud app is a native iOS and Android app, built in Swift and Kotlin. It runs on a mix of your existing web code and custom elements built for the app, such as native navigation, push notifications and login. Many of the biggest shopping apps, Amazon’s included, are built the same way, and customers get an app that looks and feels like any other on their phone.

Will Apple approve my Shopify app?

Apple approves Shopify apps built with MobiLoud, and we’ve published more than 2,000 apps to the App Store and Google Play since 2013 to prove it.

Will my Shopify theme work in the app?

Your Shopify theme works in your MobiLoud app, because your live storefront powers it. Sections, blocks, custom Liquid and any front-end work your team or agency has done are the starting point for your app’s design, and a theme change you publish today is in your app today.

Do my Shopify apps work in the mobile app?

Every app installed on your Shopify store keeps working in your mobile app, including Klaviyo, Yotpo, Judge.me, ReCharge, Rebuy, Gorgias, Okendo and Loop. Because your app is powered by your live storefront instead of rebuilt from the Storefront API, there’s nothing to integrate again and no compatibility list to check.

Does Shopify Checkout work in the app?

Shopify Checkout works in your app as it does on your site. Customers check out through your own Shopify checkout, with Shop Pay, the payment methods you offer, your tax setup, discount logic and subscription flows all intact, and no payments move to a third party.

How much does a Shopify mobile app cost with MobiLoud?

MobiLoud starts at $799 per month. There’s no revenue share on your app sales.

How does MobiLoud compare to building a custom app?

A MobiLoud app costs a fraction of a custom-built app and goes live in 2 to 4 weeks instead of 6 to 12 months. A custom app is a second codebase that needs developers for every change, integration and OS update. MobiLoud builds on your live store, so your team keeps working in Shopify, and the native updates are part of your subscription.

Does Apple or Google take a cut of my sales?

Apple and Google don’t take a cut of your physical product sales. They take a commission on digital goods sold in apps, and your app uses your own Shopify checkout, so you pay your usual payment processing fees and nothing more.

How long does it take to launch my app?

Most Shopify stores go live on the App Store and Google Play 2 to 4 weeks after kickoff. That covers setup in week one, build and testing in weeks one and two, followed by app store submission and review.

Does MobiLoud work with Shopify Plus?

MobiLoud works with Shopify and Shopify Plus stores, including Plus checkout customizations, Shopify Markets and multiple storefronts.

Who owns the app and the App Store listing?

You own your app and its App Store listing. Your apps are published under your own Apple Developer and Google Play Console accounts, so the listings, ratings, installs, analytics and customer data all belong to you. MobiLoud owns the platform that builds the app, and if you ever move on, the listings and the users stay with you.

Do I need a developer to run my app?

You don’t need a developer to run a MobiLoud app. Your team keeps working on your Shopify store the way it does now, and your app follows automatically. We handle the native side: iOS and Android releases, SDK updates, certificate renewals, store policy changes and resubmissions.

Can I offer app-only products and discounts?

You can offer app-only products and discounts in your MobiLoud app. Set up app-exclusive products and collections with Shopify metafields, and limit a discount code to app orders. MobiLoud also gives your theme a way to tell when a customer is in the app, so you can show, hide or change anything for app users.

Will an app affect my store’s SEO?

An app doesn’t affect your store’s SEO. Your app is powered by your live store, so your website, its pages and its search rankings stay exactly as they are. A smart app banner and deep links send mobile visitors into your app without changing your site.

See your Shopify store as an app, before you decide anything

We’ll build a live, interactive preview of your app from your own store, so you can see it before you decide. There’s nothing to install on your store.
