Hi @Daniel2345,

Great question! You can indeed turn your website into an app should you wish. There are a couple of ways you could go about this, one would be an app in the Shopify App store which would have a monthly cost (and some of them are quite high, but there are some affordable ones also) or you could have something custom made by a Shopify Expert, which would most likely be a once off fee, but that would be it, with no recurring costs per month like the apps. 

I took a look in the Shopify App store and found a few of the apps I like for this:

• Mobile App Builder - MageNative ($29 per month)
• Mobile App Builder - Vajro ($99 per month)
• Shopney - Mobile App ($99 per month)
• Tapcart - ($250 per month)

And as I mentioned it could also be worth talking to a Shopify Expert to build one custom for you. All of the Experts would have different prices and work in their own way, so it could definitley be worth your time to research some of them and find one you resonate with if you want to go this route. Let me know if you think one of these options would work for you!
