Shopping apps are becoming an important part of the booming eCommerce industry. They are associated with a higher conversion rate and a boost in repeat purchases and LTV. They help you to stay top of mind with your core customer base by claiming valuable real estate on their home screens, and drive traffic and sales through push notifications. You also get the branding boost of looking professional and modern with a presence on the appstores, and the opportunity to pick up new customers searching on the AppStore and Google Play.

We have a deep integration with WordPress and WooCommerce. Any of the features you now use on your WooCommerce site like product reccomendations, extensions, categories, tags can be used in the app too – including your existing theme.

Yes, unlike other solutions we don’t limit you and you can integrate any payment gateway. Generally the app will be set up to use the same payment gateway you’re using on your website.

We build each Commerce app as a custom project, so we can integrate any tech that currently powers your site into the WooCommerce app. If your site is highly custom and unusual have a chat with our team to go over the possibilities.

Compared to the usual requirements of managing high-end native apps – not at all! All content and products update automatically as your site updates. Day to day management and tweaks can be implemented from a simple plugin in the WordPress admin dashboard, and no coding skills are required. For the more demanding work of ongoing maintenance and updates to the apps, everything is handled by our team as part of our service.

Native apps provide some key benefits that PWAs do not, like the ability to send out push notifications to iOS devices. They also give you a presence in the App Store and Google Play, and are more in line with the habits and expectations of a lot of the population. That said, it is not an either/or choice. We strongly encourage you to build native shopping apps and upgrade your web experience with a progressive web app. We can do that for you too with our PWA platform – just get in touch and we’ll go through all the details.

Most WooCommerce app builders build a native “shell” of an app branded for you in one of their prebuilt templates. They then use an API to pull content from the site into the apps. This can work OK, but leads to cookie-cutter apps that are limited by the capabilities of the template and can’t integrate the most interesting features and functionalities from the web. We have a different method that allows you truly convert your WooCommerce site, along with all it’s custom features and integrations, into native mobile apps. We do this without touching a line of your site code.

Yes, the apps will automatically update with any changes to your WooCommerce site. You don’t need to worry about updating a separate dashboard with new product or content changes, the apps will update in real time and reflect the changes you made on WooCommerce!

The apps are completely branded for you. Your customers won’t know you developed the apps on a WooCommerce app builder platform, they will assume the apps were custom developed at great expense.

That Depends on you. If you promote your app well on your site and through your marketing channels they will discover it that way and head to the App Stores to download. We can give you detailed advice on best practices for app promotion.

We test the apps extensively and prepare them for submission to the App Store and Google Play. This can be tricky to navigate for the inexperienced, but we have gone through it well over 1000 times and know the process inside out. There is nothing for you to worry about when it comes to going live!

You can set up notifications to go out automatically when notifications are triggered in WooCommerce’s own notification system, or send them manually whenever you want. You have complete control over the notification’s content.

In short, there are two major reasons why you pay a recurring fee:

1. To pay for the license that gives you access to our platform
2. To get our support and maintenance service for required updates and improvements that make sure your app works as it should on the lates iOS and Android versions.

If you were to go out to an agency or hire developers and get an app (synced with your WooCommerce site) built from scratch, you’d own the IP in the product, but you’d spend at least 10x what MobiLoud charges. You also wouldn’t get something as deeply integrated with WooCommerce and WordPress, synced with new content, and easy to manage and update from the WordPress dashboard.

And you’d quickly find out, you have to continuously maintain this product over time, at a rate of thousands a month if you employ someone, possibly less if working with a contractor.

Development doesn’t stop with a first version.

Apple and Google release new OS versions every year, new iPhones come on the market, new screen sizes, etc. This means your app has to routinely catch up with these changes to make sure it’s stable and works as expected.

You see this in every app you have installed: they are frequently updated with new versions and that’s needed not just for improvements, but also for stability (avoiding crashes), security reasons and legal compliance (e.g. new privacy laws).

Everything around your app changes all the time, Apple and Google change their platforms and SDKs. The libraries and services that are integrated into your app also get frequent updates e.g. the library used for analytics, crash logging or push notifications.

When you work with MobiLoud you get to benefit from a platform 7 years in development – which saves you a ton of time and money – and from all the improvements we bring to it as time goes.

As its typical of every SaaS solution, you get a license to use our platform and that license needs to be renewed yearly or monthly.

When you work with us, you don’t have to worry about maintaining the app, as that’s included. The annual or monthly fees you pay include all the updates required for your app to run smoothly and crash free and any updates you might need if things change on your end and the app needs an update e.g. a logo change.

A lot of work goes into preparing and submitting apps to Google Play, and particularly the Apple App Store. For our submission fee – we guarantee you a smooth and painless ride through the process and a successful launch.

Our Full Service package is ideal if you’re not technical, if you don’t have a development team and a designer or you’d like to relieve them from the additional work of configuring and customizing your app, creating all the graphic assets needed for your app (splash screen, icons, screenshots). Depending on the complexity of your site and app and the requirements, these could require 3-6 days of work from your team.

If you want to take a hands off approach and want to save yourself the work work, we can take care of everything for you and configure the app to your requriements. Our team will configure and customize your app and take care of all the graphic design work required for a professional result.

We don’t offer a plan for multiple apps, but we can offer special pricing conditions for you if you need more than one app. Just get in touch with us at [email protected]

Yes, you can cancel any time, we do not have long-term contracts. If the contract comes to an end, your WooCommerce apps will no longer be live, as you are paying for the license to our platform.

“Priority support” means your user profile will be flagged in our system as a priority customer and tickets and requests coming from your account will be considered before other requests, with reasonable efforts by MobiLoud to respond within 12 hours.

We guarantee you’ll love the app we build for you and the experience of working with us. If for any reason you’re not happy with the result you have 6o days to get a full refund of all fees paid. The 60 days period is counted from when you sign up (i.e. pay your first invoice) and lasts until you approve the app for submission. Note we also include a guarantee for your app being approved, so if Apple or Google reject your app and after several attempts it’s still not possible to have it approved, we’ll give you a full refund.

Yes, you can upgrade your plan whenever you choose. Many MobiLoud customers have gone this route as their apps grow!
