Mobile accounts for 65% of ecommerce traffic. Does your app match that share?
We build custom mobile apps for ecommerce brands — native shopping experiences with push notifications, loyalty features, AR try-on, and the conversion rates that outperform mobile web. Fixed scope, fixed price.
Mobile is 65% of your traffic and 40% of your revenue. The gap between those two numbers is a mobile conversion problem. A native app with one-tap checkout, push re-engagement, and no browser friction closes that gap.
Mobile commerce has a fundamental conversion problem: mobile drives more than 60% of ecommerce traffic, but only 35 to 45% of revenue at most brands. The gap is mobile conversion rate — which on mobile web averages around 1.5 to 2%, compared to 3 to 5% on desktop. The friction points are well-documented: typing a credit card number on a phone keyboard, form fields that don't autocomplete, checkout flows with too many steps, slow page load on mobile data.
Native apps eliminate these friction points. Apple Pay and Google Pay replace manual card entry with one biometric tap. Push notifications replace email re-engagement with a channel that has 90%+ open rates. Wishlist and cart persistence without login friction means the browsing session from Monday is waiting on Thursday. App-exclusive drops and loyalty points give customers a reason to install and keep the app.
The economics work. The brands that have a high-quality native app see mobile conversion rates of 3 to 5% through the app — matching desktop. Even if only 30% of mobile traffic comes through the app, the revenue shift is significant. And app users have higher average order value and 40% better retention than equivalent mobile web users.

Why Fixed-Price Matters Here
Ecommerce brands have seasonal revenue peaks that drive everything — a Black Friday app launch requires a September start. Fixed scope and fixed price means your app launch date is a real date, not a target that slips while your peak season approaches.
Questions, answered.
Yes, in real time. The Shopify Storefront API serves live inventory levels. When a size sells out on Shopify (from web or in-store), it shows as sold out in the app immediately.
Yes — app-exclusive pricing and promotions are one of the most effective loyalty mechanics. We build discount rules in the app that aren't applied to web checkout, giving customers a concrete reason to shop through the app.
We recommend running both concurrently. The app gets promoted through email, SMS, and post-purchase onboarding. Mobile web remains the fallback for new visitors. Over 6 to 12 months, the app typically takes 25 to 40% of total mobile transactions.
A full-featured shopping app with search, cart, Apple Pay / Google Pay, push notifications, and order tracking typically runs $55k–$100k. Loyalty program, AR features, and international multi-currency add scope. Fixed-price.
