The Bottom Line: Salesforce B2B Commerce doesn't include a native mobile app. Their mobile strategy is Agentforce on WhatsApp, not a branded app in the App Store. MobiLoud takes your existing B2B Commerce storefront and delivers it as a native iOS and Android app, preserving account entitlements, negotiated pricing, approval workflows, and every Salesforce integration. No headless development project required.
Your Salesforce B2B Commerce implementation didn't happen overnight. It was a multi-month project involving a systems integrator, your Salesforce admin, and probably a few rounds of stakeholder negotiations.
The result is a storefront that's deeply wired into the rest of your Salesforce ecosystem: CRM data powering personalized catalogs, Service Cloud handling post-purchase support, Marketing Cloud driving targeted campaigns, Data Cloud stitching together buyer behavior across channels.
That's the value proposition of Salesforce: everything talks to everything. Your B2B storefront isn't a standalone shop. It's a layer on top of your entire customer relationship infrastructure.
Now your sales team wants a mobile app. Your buyers want a mobile app. Your executive team sees competitors with apps and wants one too. And when you look at what Salesforce B2B Commerce actually offers for mobile, the answer is: not much.
Can You Build a Mobile App With Salesforce B2B Commerce?
Not natively, and Salesforce's mobile roadmap is pointed in a different direction.
No Built-In Mobile App
Salesforce B2B Commerce, whether you're on the Growth edition (6 storefronts) or Advanced edition (10 storefronts), does not include a customer-facing mobile app.
The storefront is a web experience built on Lightning Web Runtime. It's responsive, so it works on phones, but there's no "generate an app" button and no App Store presence.
Salesforce's Mobile Strategy: Agentforce, Not Apps
Salesforce is investing heavily in Agentforce, their AI agent platform. The mobile commerce play is conversational: Agentforce Guided Shopping through WhatsApp, chatbot-driven purchasing, AI-assisted reordering through messaging channels.
That's a valid strategy for certain buying scenarios. But it's not a branded native app in the App Store and Google Play. Your buyers can't download "Your Company" from the App Store, browse your catalog on the train, and place an order with two taps. Agentforce and a native app solve different problems.
Headless APIs Exist, But the Project Is Massive
Salesforce B2B Commerce has headless commerce APIs. A development team can technically build a native mobile app that connects to your B2B Commerce backend. Salesforce AppExchange may also have third-party options.
But consider what your B2B storefront actually does:
- Account entitlements that control which products each buyer sees
- Negotiated pricing and contract terms specific to each account
- Approval workflows for purchases above certain thresholds
- Self-service quote requests with merchant-side approval
- Multi-buyer account structures with roles and permissions
- Reorder workflows from order history
- Integration with Sales Cloud so your reps see what buyers do online
- Service Cloud case creation from within the storefront
- Marketing Cloud personalization driving product recommendations
Each of those features would need to be individually implemented in a custom mobile app. The storefront isn't just displaying products. It's executing business logic that spans multiple Salesforce clouds.
For a typical Salesforce B2B Commerce implementation, a custom native app project runs $300K-$800K+ for the initial build, with $100K-$200K+ annually for maintenance. That's on top of what you're already paying for Salesforce licenses.
Your Options for Launching a Mobile App
Let’s take a look at the two options you have to go live with your own mobile app.
Custom Development on Headless APIs
Engage a Salesforce SI (or a separate mobile team) to build native apps against the B2B Commerce headless APIs. You get full design control, but the project is long (6-12+ months), expensive, and creates a separate system that needs to stay synchronized with your Salesforce configuration.
Every time your admin changes entitlements, updates pricing rules, modifies approval workflows, or adjusts account structures, those changes need to be validated in the mobile app too.
Website-to-App With MobiLoud
Your Salesforce B2B Commerce storefront already works in mobile browsers. Account logins, personalized catalogs, contract pricing, approval workflows, checkout: all functional on phones today.
MobiLoud takes that storefront and delivers it as a native iOS and Android app. The buyer experience is identical to the web. Every piece of Salesforce-powered business logic works in the app because the app is running your storefront.
No headless API project. No parallel development effort. No risk of business logic inconsistency between web and mobile.
Why MobiLoud Works for Salesforce B2B Commerce
The Salesforce ecosystem's strength is that everything is interconnected. MobiLoud preserves those connections.
Every Salesforce Integration Stays Intact
Your storefront is powered by CRM data, personalized by Marketing Cloud, supported by Service Cloud, and analyzed through Data Cloud. A custom app would need to connect to all of those systems independently or go through B2B Commerce APIs that may not expose every touchpoint.
MobiLoud sidesteps the entire integration question. The app runs your storefront, which is already connected to every Salesforce cloud in your org. No new integrations to build, no API permissions to configure, no middleware to maintain.
Account Entitlements and Pricing Work Automatically
When Buyer A logs into the app, they see the products they're entitled to at their negotiated prices. When Buyer B logs in, they see a completely different catalog and pricing.
That logic is handled by your Salesforce B2B Commerce configuration. MobiLoud doesn't need to replicate it because it doesn't bypass it.
Your admin manages entitlements and pricing in Salesforce exactly as they do today. The app reflects those settings in real time.
Approval Workflows Run End to End
If a buyer submits an order that exceeds their spending limit, it enters the approval workflow. Their manager gets notified. The order is held until approved. All of that business logic executes within the app just as it does on the web, because it's the same system processing the request.
For field sales reps placing orders on behalf of clients, the app provides the same account-level controls and approval mechanisms. No reduced-functionality mobile version.
Push Notifications for B2B Engagement
Push notifications solve real problems in B2B purchasing:
- A quote is ready for review. The buyer gets a notification instead of an email that sits unread.
- A large order ships. The operations manager knows immediately.
- Contract pricing expires in 30 days. The account gets a heads-up to renew.
- A frequently purchased item is back in stock. The buyer who's been waiting can reorder on the spot.
These notifications reach buyers faster and more reliably than email, which is critical for time-sensitive B2B transactions.
Your Sales Team Gets Visibility
Because the app runs the same Salesforce-powered storefront, buyer activity in the app is captured by the same tracking and analytics your sales team already uses. Orders placed through the app flow into Sales Cloud the same way web orders do. There's no separate data silo. Your reps have a complete picture of buyer behavior across all channels.
Fully Managed, No Salesforce Developer Time Required
MobiLoud handles the app build, App Store and Google Play submissions, ongoing maintenance, and OS updates. Your Salesforce admin and SI partner keep working on the web storefront. Every change they make, from entitlement updates to new product catalogs to workflow modifications, shows up in the app automatically.
You don't need to allocate Salesforce developer sprints to a mobile app project. You don't need to find a mobile team that understands Lightning Web Runtime. The web storefront is the app.

Your Salesforce B2B Commerce implementation already powers a sophisticated buyer experience. Account-specific catalogs, contract pricing, approval workflows, cross-cloud integrations. Building all of that into a custom mobile app is a project that could easily cost more than the original B2B Commerce implementation itself.
