A new retention & engagement channel

Bring your best customers back with your own mobile app

A mobile app is an always-on channel living on the place your best customers look at hundreds of times a day.

A permanent place on their phone

Your icon sits on the home screen, one tap away. No searching, no URL, and no competitor’s ad on the way in.

A direct line to the customers who matter most

One tap or a push notification brings your highest-intent customers into your store, with no ad spend or algorithm controlling your reach.

An exclusive hub for your VIPs

Drive stronger loyalty and build a base of superfans with app-only drops, early access, member-only pricing and loyalty perks.

A channel that compounds

App shoppers come back more often, spend more, and become a high-value segment that funds your growth.

How it works

An ecommerce mobile app, powered by your existing store

MobiLoud turns the store you already run into native iOS and Android apps. Your live storefront powers the app, so all the work you’ve put into your site carries over to your app.

The same storefront shown twice. On the left it runs in a mobile browser with an address bar and browser toolbar. On the right it runs in a MobiLoud app, full screen, with a native tab bar along the bottom.
  1. 1

    Start with your existing store

    No templates, no rebuilding. The starting point is what you already have.

  2. 2

    We add the native layer

    We build a native layer, with all the native features your customers expect in an app.

  3. 3

    We ship it under your accounts

    We get your apps live in the App Store and Google Play. They live in your own accounts, and our team takes care of all native upkeep.

The full native app experience

Everything your mobile app needs

We turn your store into a custom mobile app that looks and feels like it cost a million dollars.

Native navigation

A tab bar, gestures and transitions that behave the way iOS and Android users expect.

Push notifications

Send native push notifications, reaching your best customers instantly, for free, right on their lock screen.

Welcome screens

A branded first-run screen that introduces the app, asks for push permission in context, and can open with a first-order offer.

App-only experiences

Pages, promotions and pricing that exist only in the app. Run drops, early access and member perks for your VIPs.

Deep links and social login

Every link opens the right page in the app. Native Google, Apple and Facebook sign-in, using the accounts already on the phone.

Analytics and attribution

App data flows into GA4, Firebase, Triple Whale and your ad platforms, so you have full visibility into your app’s impact.

A direct line to your VIPs

A dedicated channel for your best customers

Apps self-select for your best customers, and bring them into a channel where buying is easier, and reaching them costs next to nothing.

Push is the missing piece in your channel stack

Email open rates keep falling, and SMS costs more with every send.

Push reaches your best customers instantly, on their lock screen, with no per-send cost, no carrier restrictions, no inbox filters, and minimal noise to compete with.

MobiLoud helps you unlock this channel and gain a competitive advantage over your competitors who struggle to reach their customers at the right time.

What makes MobiLoud different

Get a native mobile app without rebuilding your store

Custom development and template app builders both give you a second storefront to build, merchandise and maintain. MobiLoud doesn’t. One codebase, powering web and app.

Custom native development

  • Your storefront rebuilt in Swift, Kotlin or React Native
  • Every integration re-implemented against an API
  • A second codebase, release cycle and QA track
  • $250K to $800K a year with an agency, $500K to $1M+ in-house
  • 6 to 12 months before version one ships

Template app builders

  • Your storefront rebuilt inside their platform
  • Custom features and integrations wait on their roadmap
  • A second CMS to merchandise and keep in sync
  • Some charge 1.75% to 2.5% of in-app revenue
  • Fast, but only if your store is a standard one

MobiLoud

  • Built on the store you already run, not a copy of it
  • Every app, integration and customization carries over
  • One store, one release cycle, one team
  • Flat monthly fee from $1,499 with no revenue share
  • Live on both stores in 6 to 8 weeks

Custom mobile apps for ecommerce brands

A mobile app as custom as your brand

MobiLoud doesn’t force you into a template, or make you pick and choose which features carry over to your app. If it works on your site, it’ll work in your app.

Any ecommerce platform

MobiLoud works with Shopify, Shopify Plus, BigCommerce, Adobe Commerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, and any other platform. Migrate to a new platform and your app comes with you.

Your full checkout experience

Bring your existing checkout, including all the payment methods, tax and shipping rules, subscriptions, discount logic and any checkout extensions, into your app.

Your apps and integrations

Reviews, loyalty, subscriptions, search, upsells and support. Everything installed on your store keeps working in your app, with no custom dev needed.

Your theme, powering the app

Theme code, custom sections and metafield-driven layouts all carry over to your app. You keep working with one theme, powering two unique channels.

Your custom code

Bespoke features, custom scripts and anything your developers built for your store run in the app, out of the box.

App-only pages and content

Build and manage app-only pages, offers and experiences in the CMS you already use. No second dashboard, and no separate place to publish.

Global and multi-storefront

Global brands can display multiple storefronts, currencies and languages in one app.

B2B and wholesale

Full support for any B2B and wholesale pricing, workflows and features that work on your site.

Running your ecommerce mobile app

You run your store. We run your app

Your team keeps working the same way, shipping everything through your existing workflows, while our team handles all the app-specific maintenance.

Your team

  • Carry on merchandising and shipping updates exactly as you do today
  • No second CMS, no app dashboard, no separate release cycle
  • Everything you publish reaches the app automatically
  • App-only pages and promotions, built on the stack you already use

Handled by MobiLoud

  • The native iOS and Android build, QA and configuration
  • Submission and approval under your Apple and Google accounts
  • Every OS release, SDK deprecation, certificate renewal and store-policy change
  • Push setup, launch playbook and monthly performance reviews

The process

Go live in 6 to 8 weeks

We help you bring your store to life as native mobile apps, in weeks, not months.

  1. Days 1 to 7

    Free preview

    Before anything is signed, we build a working iOS and Android preview from your live store. You evaluate your own app, not a deck.

  2. Week 1

    Kickoff

    Onboarding call to agree configuration and the launch plan, plus access to your store and developer accounts. Security review runs in parallel if you need one.

  3. Weeks 2 to 4

    Build, integrate, test

    Native navigation and design tuned to your brand, push wired into your Klaviyo or OneSignal account, analytics into GA4 and Firebase. QA on real iOS and Android devices, then your sign-off.

  4. Weeks 5 to 8

    Launch

    Submitted to the App Store and Google Play under your accounts. We manage both reviews, typically one to two weeks. Then the launch playbook goes live: smart banners, install prompts, an announcement to your list.

  5. After launch

    Growth support & maintenance

    Our team handles all the app-specific maintenance needed after you go live, along with providing support and guidance to help you get the most out of your app channel.

For the people who sign it off

Everything your legal, security and finance teams will ask for:

  • Data Processing Agreement and GDPR documentation
  • Insurance certificates on request
  • SLA and 24/7 support on Enterprise
  • Custom contracts, redlines and payment terms
  • Invoice or bank transfer, not card-only
  • Customer data stays on your store, not on our servers

Already have an app? The same process applies, with the store listings migrated under your accounts so ratings, reviews and your installed base come with you.

A custom native build can cost $250,000 to $800,000 a year through an agency, or $500,000 to $1M+ a year fully loaded for an in-house development team. MobiLoud starts at $1,499 a month with a one-time setup fee, which works out significantly more cost-effective than a custom app built from scratch.

With MobiLoud, it takes roughly 6 to 8 weeks from kickoff to both apps being live on the App Store and Google Play, including review and submission. A custom native build typically takes 6 to 12 months to reach version one.

MobiLoud works for any ecommerce platform: Shopify and Shopify Plus, BigCommerce, Adobe Commerce and Magento, WooCommerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, VTEX, Shopware, PrestaShop, headless builds and fully custom sites. All work the same way, because it’s your live site powering the app, not a platform’s API.

No. This is the main difference between MobiLoud and custom native development. A native build needs every product, price, promotion, cart rule and account behavior exposed through an API and then re-implemented on the mobile side. MobiLoud uses your live, existing storefront, so there are no APIs needed.

With MobiLoud, you get both iOS and Android binaries, but they’re always in sync. Because they both pull from your live website, you’re not juggling two separate platforms or making the same updates twice.

If your store is fast, your app will be too. Modern technology means there’s minimal difference in performance between an app powered by your website, and a fully custom app built from scratch. The better your store performs on the web, the better it will perform in your app, and MobiLoud’s approach to building it doesn’t add any meaningful lag or latency.

Push notifications get sent through a push notification provider, similar to an email marketing service. The app sends them through the device’s native delivery mechanism, which means there’s no carrier, algorithm or inbox filter to contend with. In MobiLoud apps, you can use OneSignal or Klaviyo to send native push notifications, with all the segmentation, scheduling and other tools you need to build and run push automations.

Yes. Apps powered by your website can be published to the app stores. The basic requirement is that they provide native capabilities beyond what your website does, and MobiLoud’s native layer does that. MobiLoud has successfully published over 2,000 apps since 2013, and handles the full submission and review process for you.

Yes. Switching to MobiLoud is a smooth process. The MobiLoud team builds new apps based on your current storefront, and ships them as an update to your existing app listing, which means your users don’t need to download a new app; they automatically receive the new version as soon as they update.

The apps are submitted under your own Apple Developer and Google Play Console accounts, so the listings, reviews, install base, analytics and customer relationships are all yours. MobiLoud retains IP in the platform and the code that builds the app. If you ever move to another solution, the listings, reviews and users stay with you.
