Why a mobile sales channel

Why a mobile sales channel

Done right, retail mobile app development turns your biggest traffic source into your best-converting channel.

Stable CAC, higher conversions

An app is a channel you own and can convert ~3× better than mobile web.

Own your communication

Email hits spam. SMS keeps getting pricier. Push reaches customers directly, unlimited and free.

Make the most of mobile

~85% of e-commerce traffic is mobile. Turn your biggest source into your best-converting one.

Everything in one app

What we build

A complete, native retail app for iOS and Android, tailored to your brand and wired into the tools you already run.

Native iOS & Android apps

Fully native apps built for speed and reliability, not slow webview wrappers, published to both app stores for you.

Tailored brand design

Every font, color, and layout matched to your identity, so the app looks like your brand, not a template.

Real-time Shopify sync

Products, inventory, collections, and customers stay in sync with your store automatically.

AI shopping assistant

Custom homepage & PDP blocks

Shoppable video, reels, custom filters, and rich product pages built to how your brand sells.

Deep native integrations

frequently asked questions

Retail app development: FAQs

How much does it cost to build a retail app?

Agencies charge six figures plus fees. Appbrew starts at $199/month, all-in, with a native iOS and Android app built for you, no separate build cost.

How long does retail mobile app development take?

With Appbrew, 1–2 weeks. You share brand guidelines, our team builds it, and we handle App Store and Play Store submission.

Do I need a developer or technical team?

No. We build the app, then your marketing team runs campaigns and updates from one dashboard, no engineering required.

Is Appbrew a retail app development company or a mobile app builder?

Appbrew combines a retail app development service with a no-code app management platform. Our team designs, builds and launches your native Shopify app, while your marketing team can manage content, campaigns and merchandising after launch without developers.

Will the app work with my existing Shopify tools?

Yes. Appbrew connects natively to 120+ partners including Klaviyo, Yotpo, Recharge, and Algolia, with no webview workarounds.

Do I own the app? Can I switch builders?
