How it works

What MobiLoud does for your VTEX storefront

MobiLoud turns your existing VTEX storefront into full featured native apps for iOS and Android. It's powered by your live storefront, so every VTEX IO app, every trade policy and every custom enhancement works in your app as it does on the web.

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

    The app is built on your live storefront

    No templates, and nothing rebuilt from the VTEX APIs. The app loads the storefront you already run, so your Store Framework build, your apps and your checkout come with it.

  2. 2

    We add the native layer

    MobiLoud's team adds the native pieces: tab bar and navigation, push notifications, deep linking, social sign-in and UI tweaks, then ships your app as iOS and Android binaries.

  3. 3

    We ship it under your accounts

    Our team handles store review and submission, and the app goes live under your own Apple and Google accounts. You keep merchandising from VTEX Admin exactly as you do now.

Your storefront, as a real native app

You get an app with all the features customers expect from a native app: tab bar, navigation, gestures, push and login, all native, all built into the app. We've had 2,000+ apps published on the App Store and Google Play, and know what your app needs to look and perform at its best.

What carries over

Everything you've built, working in your app

Most app builders can't replicate what a VTEX storefront does. They rebuild your catalogue against the API, and the seller model, trade policies and checkout customizations you have spent years on are left behind.

MobiLoud is not most app builders. MobiLoud keeps everything from your storefront in the app, including the configuration that makes it yours.

Your Store Framework build

Every custom block, theme and front-end component your team or agency has shipped renders in the app exactly as it renders on the web.

Every VTEX IO app

Apps from the VTEX App Store and the custom apps written for your account keep working, because they keep running on your storefront rather than being re-integrated.

The seller and marketplace model

Multi-seller catalogues, seller-specific pricing, fulfilment rules and marketplace logic behave in the app the way they behave on your storefront.

Trade policies and sales channels

Each trade policy, price table and channel applies in the app exactly as configured, so a logged-in customer sees the assortment and prices they should.

Your checkout

Customers check out through your existing VTEX checkout, including checkout-ui-custom work, your payment connectors, tax rules and promotions.

Intelligent Search and promotions

Search, sorting rules, banners and promotion logic are live in the app the moment they are live on the web, with no second merchandising queue.

B2B accounts and org structures

Organizations, cost centres, roles and contract pricing come through in full, so buyers see their own catalogue and approval flows.

Your ERP, OMS and payment connectors

Everything integrated behind the storefront stays integrated. There is no second data path to build and no sync job to maintain.

Works with tools like:

...And every other app on your storefront. See all integrations

The operating model

Your team keeps working exactly as they do now

The real cost of a mobile app isn't the build: it's the operational tax of having to manage a separate platform. MobiLoud removes all of that. Your team merchandises in VTEX Admin, and we take care of the native side.

Your team

Continues working as you do today

  • Merchandising and storefront releases, on the cadence you already run
  • Store Framework blocks, custom apps and your own front-end work
  • Every VTEX IO app you have installed, administered where it is now
  • App-only pages and promotions, built on your own storefront

Our team

Handles the native updates and technical maintenance

  • The native iOS and Android build, QA and configuration
  • Submission and approval under your Apple and Google accounts
  • Every OS release, SDK deprecation and store-policy cycle
  • Certificate renewals and native dependency updates
  • Push set up inside your own messaging platform
  • Launch playbook, install growth and monthly performance reviews

No second CMS. No second release cycle. No new headcount.

A new retention channel

A direct line to your best customers

An app unlocks a channel your website cannot. Push notifications land on the lock screen in seconds, with no promotions tab, no spam filter and no cost per send.

Run push notifications for promotions, new product drops and launches, back-in-stock alerts, abandoned carts, loyalty reminders and more, driving free engagement from your highest-intent customers.

A phone running a brand's app, with push notification banners layered over the screen: a gift guide, a new arrivals alert and a free shipping offer.

The proof

Real brands get meaningful results from their mobile apps

"We got something that looks as professional as any other native app. Our users compare us to the other platforms like Uber Eats and Didi and they don't even notice that this is not a native app like they are."
Roberto Artavia Cuadra General Manager, Givi Enterprise Gifting
"MobiLoud keeps this whole thing simple and streamlined. No more juggling two different platforms, no more wasted time on maintenance. We can just focus on marketing and growing the business."
Eric Lowe Director of eCommerce, XCVI Fashion

MobiLoud vs the alternatives

A more flexible, more convenient way to build your mobile app

Traditional app development methods aren't a great fit for a VTEX storefront. They limit you to what an API can expose, or leave you with a codebase that costs far too much to maintain.

MobiLoud

  • Built on the VTEX storefront you already run
  • Every IO app, trade policy and seller rule carries over
  • No second CMS and no second release cycle
  • Flat monthly fee, no revenue share
  • Live in 6 to 8 weeks

Template app builders

  • Your catalogue rebuilt inside their platform
  • Seller model and checkout customizations rarely survive the move
  • A second CMS to merchandise
  • Enterprise requirements often out of scope
  • Custom features wait on their roadmap

Custom native

  • Built from scratch against the VTEX APIs
  • Custom integrations needed for every app and special feature
  • A second codebase, release cycle and QA track
  • $250K to $1M+ a year, fully loaded
  • 6 to 12 months to launch

Book a call
Will my VTEX IO apps work in the mobile app?

Yes. A MobiLoud app loads your live storefront, so every app from the VTEX App Store and every custom app written for your account keeps working, because it keeps running on your storefront. There is nothing to re-integrate and no compatibility list to check.

Does my Store Framework storefront carry over to the app?

Yes. Every custom block, theme and front-end component your team or agency has shipped renders in the app exactly as it renders on the web. A release you deploy to the storefront today is in the app today, with no separate app build to trigger.

Does the VTEX seller and marketplace model work in an app?

Yes. Multi-seller catalogues, seller-specific pricing, fulfilment rules and marketplace logic behave in the app the way they behave on your storefront, because the app renders the same storefront that already resolves them. Nothing about the seller model has to be re-implemented.

Do trade policies and price tables apply in the app?

Yes. Each trade policy, price table and sales channel applies in the app exactly as configured, so a logged-in customer sees the assortment and prices they should. A B2B buyer with contract pricing sees their own prices with no extra setup.

Does my VTEX checkout change?

No. Customers check out through your existing VTEX checkout, including any checkout-ui-custom work, your payment connectors, tax rules and promotions. No payment routing moves to a third party, and your order flow is unchanged.

Can one app serve several accounts, brands or countries?

Yes. Multiple storefronts can run as a single app that switches between them, or as separate apps, whichever fits how you sell. Each can have its own navigation, push notification audience and onboarding, and multi-currency and multi-language work exactly as they do on the web.

How long does it take to launch a VTEX mobile app?

Most VTEX storefronts go live on the App Store and Google Play in 6 to 8 weeks from kickoff. That covers discovery and design in week one, the build in weeks two and three, QA and your sign-off in week four, then submission and store review, which typically takes one to two weeks.

How much of my development team does this take?

Very little. We need storefront access and your developer accounts at kickoff, then input at design review and sign-off. There is no IO app to write, no API surface to extend and no app QA gate on your release cycle. After launch your team keeps shipping to the storefront exactly as it does now.

Who owns the app and the App Store listing?

You do. Apps are submitted under your own Apple Developer and Google Play Console accounts, so the listings, ratings, install base, analytics and customer data all belong to you. If you ever move on, the listings and the users stay with you.

See your VTEX storefront as an app, before you decide anything

We'll build a working preview from your live storefront for you to see. No commitment, no credit card, and nothing to install on your storefront.
