Custom mobile apps for online stores
Your store,
in every
pocket.
MobileCart designs and builds shopping apps for ecommerce brands: iOS, Android and progressive web apps, with loyalty rewards, member benefits, push notifications and fast mobile checkout, all connected to the store you already run.
Shoppers live on their phones
An app gives your best customers a faster way back to your store: one tap from the home screen, saved details, a rewards balance that is always in view, and a lock screen alert when their order ships or a saved item is back.
We build for stores only, so the work centers on catalogs, carts, orders and repeat buyers. You keep your current platform. We build the app and the backend layer that connects it.
What we
build
8 services that fit together, so you can start with one and add the rest.
iOS shopping apps
A custom iPhone and iPad app for your store, built to App Store rules and wired to your catalog, checkout and customer accounts.
02Android shopping apps
A custom Android app for your store, tested across screen sizes and published on Google Play.
03Progressive web apps (PWA)
An installable, app-like version of your store that runs in the browser, works on poor connections and needs no app store.
04Loyalty and rewards
Points, tiers, referrals and rewards built into your app, tied to real orders and real customer accounts.
05Member benefits
Paid or free memberships with perks such as free shipping, early access, member pricing and exclusive drops, managed inside your app.
06Push notifications and messaging
Order updates, back-in-stock alerts, price drops and campaigns, sent to the right customers with their permission.
07Mobile checkout and payments
Fast checkout with Apple Pay, Google Pay, saved cards and guest orders, connected to your existing payment provider.
08Store platform integration
Connect the app to Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Magento or a custom backend so catalog, stock, orders and customers stay in sync.

Native, cross-platform
or PWA?
Each has a place. We recommend one after we see your features, your customers' phones and your budget.
Native app (Swift, Kotlin)
Best access to the phone and the smoothest feel. It costs more because iOS and Android are two separate builds.
Cross-platform app (React Native, Flutter)
One codebase for iOS and Android, with a near-native feel for most shopping features. A good fit for many stores.
Progressive web app
No store approval, works in any modern browser and installs from the site. It has fewer phone features, and iPhone support is more limited.
How we work
-
01
Discover
We learn how your store runs, who your customers are, which phones they use and what you want the app to do. You leave with a written scope and a clear first release.
-
02
Design
You review clickable screens of the real flows: browse, product, cart, checkout, account and rewards. Changes are cheap at this stage, so we spend time here.
-
03
Build
We build in short cycles and send working builds to your phone every couple of weeks, so you see real progress and not a status report.
-
04
Test
We test on real devices, run through your unusual orders, and give you a beta group for feedback before the public sees anything.
-
05
Launch
We prepare store listings, privacy answers and review notes, submit to the stores and watch the release closely.
-
06
Grow
After launch we fix issues, ship updates, review analytics with you and plan the next features based on how customers use the app.
Common questions
Not every store does. An app makes sense when customers come back often, or when you can offer something the website cannot, such as rewards, member pricing or order alerts. If most visitors arrive once from search, a fast mobile website or a PWA may be the better first step.
MobileCart builds custom shopping apps for online stores: iOS, Android and progressive web apps, with checkout, loyalty and rewards, memberships, push notifications and the integrations behind them. We build for your store. We do not sell a one-size template app.
You do. The app is published under your developer accounts, and the source code and designs are handed over under the agreement. We do not hold the app or the listing.
Cross-platform tools such as React Native and Flutter share one codebase between iOS and Android and suit most shopping apps. Native builds suit apps that rely heavily on advanced phone features. We recommend one after seeing your feature list and say why.
Customers earn points on orders linked to their account, see their balance in the app and spend points at checkout. You set the rules, such as points per purchase, expiry and what returns do to points. We build them and add admin tools to review and adjust balances.
The app registers the customer's phone with Apple or Google, and your backend sends messages through those services. Customers choose whether to allow them and which types to receive. We build the permission prompts, settings and sending rules.
