How to convert my shopify store into native android and ios app for app stores?

[vivekuproi]

Hi,

Currently I am using PWA IOS and Android Mobile App for PWA apps that adds install app option in browser but I need to convert that app for play store or any other app store. Please help me how can I do it for free or less cost.

Thanks!

Hey, @vivekuproi!

Welcome to Shopify Community. My name is Olivia and I work here.

I love your question and the idea of creating a shopping app for your customers unique to your store. Building a `shoppable` app for your Shopify store is achievable a couple different ways - let's explore them below.

Use an app to create your app

While doing some research for you I came across this really cool option within our App Store, MageNative Mobile App. The app boasts the ability to help you create both an iOS and Android app quickly and efficiently, all for a low monthly cost. 

Using an app is super efficient as it's easy to install, and uninstall with little to no coding knowledge.

Work with an Expert

The other option is to hire a Shopify Expert. While this may cost more upfront, it will save you the price of a fixed monthly fee + provide more room for customizations.

In your message you specifically asked for a free, or low cost, solution so I would certainly consult with an Expert for a cost breakdown to see what will be most cost effective for you long-term. Further to that, I thought you might enjoy our blog post piece on how a custom shopping app helped one store multiply their conversion rates. Considering the value this adds, it could be a great investment for your store.

Let me know if any other questions come up.

Warm regards,

Hi @vivekuproi 

According to Shopify, more than 65% of orders are booked through mobile devices.

Mobile app conversion rate is also 3 times higher than mobile web. So if you notice that most of your store's traffic is coming from mobile devices, it's time to go far beyond just a responsive site. It's time to get a native mobile app for your Shopify store! You can use the Shopify Mobile App Builder to turn your store into a great mobile app.

A typical smartphone user checks his phone at least 5-10 times a day. The best way to use this opportunity is to increase your Shopify store purchases and drive customers back to the store.

With the mobile app, you can also send personalized push notifications promoting new arrivals, promoting discounts, order tracking and sharing shipping details, and more.

If you need any help and support you may contact us.
