Ecommerce delivery experience behind the accelerator

The operational challenge

Your app should feel like your brand, not another template.

Many Shopify app builders provide speed by placing every merchant inside the same design system. Appification starts from the storefront and customer journeys you already operate.

Build a separate custom app

More control, but more to operate.

  • A second codebase
  • A separate product roadmap
  • Longer implementation
  • Ongoing development work

Use a template app builder

Faster setup, but less flexibility.

  • Standardised layouts
  • Separate app configuration
  • Recurring platform fees
  • Store customisations may not transfer cleanly

Add the app channel to the store you already run.

Your ecommerce platform continues to manage products, prices, customers, checkout and orders. Appification adds the mobile experience, app controls and store distribution.

  • One order history

Delivery

From approval
to store submission.

For the Web App, about two weeks from approval to store submission. Native App projects follow the same steps on a timeline we agree together. We manage configuration, testing, listing preparation and submission. Apple and Google review on their own schedules.

    Connect the accelerator and verify the main catalogue, account, cart, checkout and order journeys.

    Review on real devices

    Test the iOS and Android builds and complete the final changes.

  5. 5

    Submit to Apple and Google

    Complete the store listings and submit both applications for review.

When the app is ready, we help customers find it.

  1. 1

    Plan the launch

    Agree the launch date, the first campaign and who runs the channel.

  2. 2

    Get customers to install

    A banner on your site, store badges, a launch email and QR codes in store.

FAQ

Your questions,
answered.

More questions? Book a walkthrough.

Does Appification work with Magento and Shopify?
Yes. Appification has separate accelerator versions for Magento and Adobe Commerce, and for Shopify and Shopify Plus. Each version is adapted to the platform's store, customer and checkout journeys.
What is the difference between the Web App and the Native App?
The Web App is a branded React Native app shell that reuses your mobile website screens, with tailored navigation, push notifications and store listings. It goes live in about two weeks for a fixed monthly price. The Native App is built in Swift for iOS and Kotlin for Android, with native screens for catalogue, product, cart and account, connected to your store through its APIs. It suits brands that want custom features and deeper integrations, and it is scoped per project.
What remains in our existing ecommerce platform?
Your products, prices, customer accounts, cart, checkout and orders remain in the ecommerce platform you already operate. The app adds the mobile experience and customer channel.
What access will you need?
We need appropriate access to connect and test the ecommerce journeys included in the launch scope. We also need invitations to your Apple and Google developer accounts before store submission.
Who owns the app?
The apps are published through your developer accounts. Your listings, ratings, reviews and install base belong to your business.
Does the two-week timeline include store approval?
The two-week target applies to the Web App and covers preparation for store submission. Apple and Google review applications on their own schedules. Native App timelines are agreed per project.
What happens after launch?
Your team can run push campaigns, deep links and engagement reporting. For the Web App, ongoing service is covered by the monthly fee. For the Native App, support continues under your scandiweb arrangement or is agreed separately.
