Custom design & native features

A custom app designed around your brand

MobiLoud lets you launch a custom mobile app with all the native features people expect from the best shopping apps, all powered by the same workflows and platform that runs your website.

Three customer apps, each designed around its own brand: Bottle Stop’s navy home screen with drink categories, Tadashi Shoji’s full-screen campaign and Pharmazone’s AI skin analysis home.

2,000+ apps published since 2013

A native experience, unique to your brand

MobiLoud gives your whole store a native facelift, from the home screen to the cart: elevating your mobile user experience and giving your best customers a mobile-native UX, built around your brand, not a template.

A design made for your app

We’ll redesign your store’s pages for the app, with layouts and interactions made for shopping on mobile. The products, data and functionality behind it all comes from your site, so you don’t have to maintain two separate storefronts.

  • App-specific home screens, menus and category nav
  • Product pages and cart shaped for the app
  • Your brand’s fonts, colors and photography throughout
  • Website headers, footers and pop-ups left out

Your brand from the first tap

We design your app icon, splash screen and welcome screen to match your brand, so your app looks like yours from the moment it’s installed.

  • Your icon on your customers’ home screens
  • A branded splash screen on app opens
  • A welcome screen for first-time customers

Give app users a reason to stay

App-only pages, products and offers give your best customers something they can’t get on your website, and a reason to keep your app (and your brand) on their phone.

A custom experience just for the app

Create pages only app customers can see, like an early-access drop or a members’ area, as well as a custom homepage and app-specific banners, all built and managed through your existing CMS.

  • App-only pages made in your web CMS
  • Create a custom homepage for your app
  • App-specific promo banners and merchandising

App-only products and offers

Sell products only in your app, like limited editions and early drops, and offer discount codes and promotions exclusive for app users, to make shopping your app a no-brainer.

  • App-exclusive products and early access perks
  • App-only discount codes
  • Extra loyalty points for orders placed in the app

The native features customers expect

Customers know what an app should look and feel like. Your app has everything it needs to deliver the complete mobile-native experience.

Sign in once, stay signed in

Customers can sign in with Apple or Google, or with the account they already have with you, and they stay signed in from then on. Their orders, addresses and details are ready every time they open your app.

  • Sign in with Apple or Google
  • No new account or password to create
  • Signed in every time they come back
Two screens from the Jack & Jones app: a sign-in sheet over the home screen with buttons to continue with Apple, Google or email, and the signed-in Account tab with &CLUB points, the latest order on its way and links to orders, addresses and personal details.

Links that open your app

When customers tap a link to your site in an email, a text or a social post, it can open straight in your app if they have it installed. Customers without the app land on your site as usual.

  • Product, collection and campaign links open in the app
  • Works on iPhone and Android
  • Set up by our team

Push notifications

Every MobiLoud app comes with native push notifications on iOS and Android. Send campaigns and automated messages, and each one opens the exact page you choose.

  • Your icon and name on every notification
  • Campaigns, automations and abandoned cart reminders
  • Each notification opens the page you choose

Need something more? We’ll build it.

When your store needs something beyond the standard feature set, let us know. Our team can likely build it in, from custom native features to native SDKs from your tools and vendors.

Custom native features are available on the Enterprise plan. Book a demo to discuss your requirements.

Can my app look different from my website?

Your app can have a design of its own. Our team can redesign your home screen, navigation, product pages and cart for the app, while your products, prices and checkout keep running on your website.

How much design work is included in my plan?

Every plan includes your app’s branding and design adjustments, like hiding website headers and simplifying pages for smaller screens. Business adds a redesign of your pages into app-specific layouts, home screens and navigation, and Enterprise adds custom pages and sections built for your app.

Can I create pages that only app customers see?

You can create pages only app customers see, like an early-access drop or a members’ area, and add them to your app’s tab bar. On Growth and Business, your web team creates app-only pages with MobiLoud’s guidance. On Enterprise, MobiLoud can also build new pages where feasible.

Can I sell products only in the app?

On Shopify, you can mark a product as app-exclusive, so it’s on sale in your app and hidden on your website. It works well for limited editions and early drops.

Can I offer discount codes that only work in the app?

Any Shopify discount code can become an app-only code on every Shopify plan except Starter. Shoppers who try one on your website see a message inviting them to the app.

Is a MobiLoud app a native app?

A MobiLoud app is a native iOS and Android app, published in the App Store and Google Play. It has native navigation, push notifications and the other features on this page, and it’s built on top of your existing store, so there’s nothing to rebuild.

Can I change my app’s tab bar after launch?

Your app’s tabs, icons and colors can change at any time after launch without an App Store update, and customers see the change the next time they open the app.

Can customers sign in with Apple or Google in the app?

Apple, Google and Facebook login work in your app when your store offers them on your site, on the Business and Enterprise plans. On every plan, customers can sign in with the account they have on your site and see the same order history and details.

Do links to my website open in the app?

Links to your website open in your app for customers who have it installed, on iPhone and Android, with the Business and Enterprise plans. Our team sets them up, and customers without the app see the page on your site as usual.

Can you build a native feature that isn’t on this page?

Our team can build native features your app needs beyond the standard set, and integrate native SDKs from your vendors. We scope and price that work for your approval before it starts, and maintain the feature with the rest of your app.

Can my developers use native features from our site?

Your developers can trigger native features from your site with MobiLoud’s native functions, a small JavaScript API built into every app. They can use it for haptic feedback, cart badges, tab refreshes, the push permission prompt and more, without touching native code.
