How it works
Shopify store to native app. Four steps. No developer.
You design your app inside Shopify admin. We compile it, run QA on real devices, and submit to App Store and Play Store under your accounts. Typical turnaround: 7 to 10 days.
The process
From install to live in four steps
Install on Shopify
One click from the Shopify App Store. Authorize and you're in. We pull your store details, collections, and product catalog automatically.
- No API keys or webhooks to configure
- Works with any Shopify plan, including Basic
- Your products and collections are available immediately
Design your app in the builder
The builder lives inside your Shopify admin. Load a starter preset, then tune every color, font, and per-screen layout. A live phone preview updates as you edit.
- 40 starter themes across niches: fashion, beauty, coffee, fitness, jewelry, tech, home, and more
- Every theme ships its own home layout, palette, and typography
- Every value is editable: colors, fonts, radii, card layouts
- Per-screen layout control, not just global theme settings
- Live phone preview, no page refresh needed
Connect your developer accounts
Your app gets submitted under your own Apple and Google accounts, not ours. You own the listing, the reviews, and the users. We use scoped service keys only; we never see your raw passwords.
- Apple Developer account, $99/year, about 10 min to set up
- Google Play Console, $25 one-time, about 5 min to set up
- We walk you through getting both if you need it
- Scoped keys only. No raw credentials ever stored.
Pay, we build and ship
Once you confirm and pay, we compile your app, QA test it on real iOS and Android devices, and submit to both stores under your accounts. You get notified at each milestone.
- Compiled from exactly what you built in the builder
- QA tested on real devices, not simulators
- Submitted under your accounts, your bundle ID
- Your listing, your reviews, your users, forever
