Question 1

Do I have to manage my website and app separately?

Accepted Answer

No. Your app is built on the same codebase as your site, so a change you make once shows up in both. App builders give you a second system with its own admin, its own content and its own release cycle, so every change gets made twice. If you change design, launch promotions or A/B test regularly, that second pass is a weekly cost.

Question 2

What does your team do that a builder does not?

Accepted Answer

A builder sells you software and supports the software. We build the app, submit it, get it approved, and stay on afterwards for design changes, native updates, push campaigns and install growth. You keep ownership of the app and the store accounts throughout; the team is there so the app does not become your team's second job.

Question 3

Can I still have an app-only experience?

Accepted Answer

Yes. App-only collections, promotions and content are built on your own site and shown only inside the app, so they are managed in the CMS your team already uses. You get the exclusive experience without a separate channel to maintain.

Question 4

Will my custom tech stack work in the app?

Accepted Answer

Any web-based tool you already use carries across and keeps working, with no separate integration to buy or build. App builders limit you to whatever is on their integration list, and several of them cap how many you can use unless you are on an enterprise plan. If your stack includes anything uncommon, that is usually where a builder stops.

Question 5

My site is not on Shopify. Can I still get an app?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most app builders only work with one platform. We build from Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce and WordPress, Magento and Adobe Commerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, and fully custom or headless builds. That also means replatforming later does not force an app rebuild or a resubmission.

Question 6

What happens if the app is rejected by Apple or Google?

Accepted Answer

Getting through review is our job, and every app we have submitted has been approved. If an app is ultimately rejected because of our platform, we refund the subscription fees you have paid. A rejection caused by your own content or business category is not something we can cover.

Question 7

Do you take a cut of app revenue?

Accepted Answer

No. Pricing is a flat subscription, so what you pay does not move with what the app sells.
