How it works

What MobiLoud does for your BigCommerce store

MobiLoud turns your existing BigCommerce store into full featured native apps for iOS and Android. It's powered by your live store, so every theme customization, every app and every pricing rule works in your app as it does on your site.

The same storefront shown twice. On the left it runs in a mobile browser with an address bar and browser toolbar. On the right it runs in a MobiLoud app, full screen, with a native tab bar along the bottom.
  1. 1

    The app is built on your live store

    No templates, and nothing rebuilt from the Storefront or Catalog API. The app loads the store you already run, so your Stencil theme, your apps and your checkout come with it.

  2. 2

    We add the native layer

    MobiLoud's team adds the native pieces: tab bar and navigation, push notifications, deep linking, social sign-in and UI tweaks, then ships your app as iOS and Android binaries.

  3. 3

    We ship it under your accounts

    Our team handles store review and submission, and the app goes live under your own Apple and Google accounts. You keep merchandising from the BigCommerce control panel exactly as you do now.

Your store, as a real native app

You get an app with all the features customers expect from a native app: tab bar, navigation, gestures, push and login, all native, all built into the app. We've had 2,000+ apps published on the App Store and Google Play, and know what your app needs to look and perform at its best.

What carries over

Everything you've built, working in your app

Most app builders can't replicate everything your BigCommerce store does. They rebuild your catalogue inside their platform, and the pricing rules, B2B behaviour and theme work you rely on are left behind.

MobiLoud is not most app builders. MobiLoud keeps everything from your store in the app, including the configuration that makes it yours.

Your Stencil theme

Custom templates, Handlebars work and any front-end your team or agency has written render in the app exactly as they render on the web.

Your checkout

Customers check out through your existing BigCommerce checkout, with your payment gateways, tax rules, shipping logic and any checkout customization intact.

Price lists and customer groups

Tiered pricing, customer-group discounts and the catalogue visibility rules you have configured all apply in the app without being re-modelled.

B2B Edition

Company accounts, buyer roles, quotes, purchase orders and invoice payment behave in the app the way they behave on your storefront.

Apps and integrations

Klaviyo, Yotpo, Searchanise, Stamped, your ERP connector and anything else on the store keeps working, because it keeps running on your storefront.

Multi-storefront and channels

Multiple storefronts, currencies and languages work in one app, and each can get its own menu, push notifications and onboarding.

Page Builder content

Landing pages, banners and merchandising blocks built in Page Builder are live in the app the moment they are live on the web.

Customer accounts

Logins, order history, saved addresses, wishlists and loyalty balances carry over, with persistent login so shoppers stay signed in between visits.

Works with:

BigCommerce Klaviyo Yotpo Okendo Algolia Gorgias Stripe PayPal

...And every other app on your storefront. See all integrations

The operating model

Your team keeps working exactly as they do now

The real cost of a mobile app isn't the build: it's the operational tax of having to manage a separate platform. MobiLoud removes all of that. Your team manages the app from the BigCommerce control panel, and we take care of the native side.

Your team

Continues working as you do today

  • Merchandising and theme releases, from the control panel you already use
  • Stencil templates, scripts and your own front-end work
  • Every app you have installed, administered where it is now
  • App-only pages and promotions, built on your own store

Our team

Handles the native updates and technical maintenance

  • The native iOS and Android build, QA and configuration
  • Submission and approval under your Apple and Google accounts
  • Every OS release, SDK deprecation and store-policy cycle
  • Certificate renewals and native dependency updates
  • Push set up inside your own Klaviyo or OneSignal account
  • Launch playbook, install growth and monthly performance reviews

No second CMS. No second release cycle. No new headcount.

A new retention channel

A direct line to your best customers

An app unlocks a channel your website cannot. Push notifications land on the lock screen in seconds, with no promotions tab, no spam filter and no cost per send.

Run push notifications for promotions, new product drops and launches, back-in-stock alerts, abandoned carts, loyalty reminders and more, driving free engagement from your highest-intent customers.

A phone running a brand's app, with push notification banners layered over the screen: a gift guide, a new arrivals alert and a free shipping offer.

The proof

Real brands get meaningful results from their mobile apps

"My team is thrilled because we have functioning apps that require almost no effort on our part. It is a brilliant solution. For someone that wants to see the impact an app has on a business, MobiLoud is the single best way to make that happen."
David Cost VP Ecommerce & Marketing, Rainbow Apparel
"MobiLoud keeps this whole thing simple and streamlined. No more juggling two different platforms, no more wasted time on maintenance. We can just focus on marketing and growing the business."
Eric Lowe Director of eCommerce, XCVI Fashion

MobiLoud vs the alternatives

A more flexible, more convenient way to build your mobile app

Traditional app development methods aren't a great fit for a BigCommerce store. They limit you to what their templates support, or leave you with a codebase that costs far too much to maintain.

  • Built on the BigCommerce store you already run
  • Your theme, your apps and your pricing rules carry over
  • No second CMS and no second release cycle
  • Flat monthly fee, no revenue share
  • Live in 6 to 8 weeks

Template app builders

  • Your catalogue rebuilt inside their platform
  • Price lists, B2B and theme work rarely survive the move
  • A second CMS to merchandise
  • Some platforms charge a percentage of in-app sales
  • Custom features wait on their roadmap

Custom native

  • Built from scratch against the Storefront and Catalog APIs
  • Custom integrations needed for any app or special feature
  • A second codebase, release cycle and QA track
  • $250K to $1M+ a year, fully loaded
  • 6 to 12 months to launch

Getting live

Launch in 6 to 8 weeks, with minimal lift from your team

We do the work. You bring the assets, and input where it's needed.

  1. Week 1

    Kickoff

    Onboarding call to align on configuration and launch plan, plus access to your store and developer accounts.

  2. Weeks 2 to 3

    Build and integrate

    We build and configure the app on your live store, with tab menus and navigation rules. Every app on your storefront carries across, and you have a working preview in your hands by week two.

  3. Week 4

    Customize and test

    Design and navigation tuned to your brand, push wired into your Klaviyo or OneSignal account, analytics into GA4 and Firebase. QA across iOS and Android, then final approval from you.

  4. Weeks 5 to 8

    Launch

    Submitted to the App Store and Google Play under your developer accounts. We manage both store reviews, typically one to two weeks, then the launch playbook goes live.

For the people who sign it off

We can deliver everything your legal, security and finance teams will ask for:

  • Data Processing Agreement and GDPR documentation
  • Insurance certificates on request
  • Custom contracts, redlines and payment terms
  • Invoice or bank transfer, not card-only
  • Customer data stays in BigCommerce, not on our servers

Book a call
Will my Stencil theme work in a mobile app?

Yes. A MobiLoud app loads your live BigCommerce storefront, so your Stencil theme renders in the app exactly as it renders on the web. Custom templates, Handlebars work and any agency front-end all carry over, and a theme change you publish today is in the app today.

Do BigCommerce apps work inside the mobile app?

Yes. Every app installed on your store keeps working, including Klaviyo, Yotpo, Searchanise, Stamped, subscription apps and ERP connectors. Because the app runs your storefront rather than reassembling it from the Catalog API, there is nothing to re-integrate and no compatibility list to check.

Does BigCommerce B2B Edition work in a mobile app?

Yes. Company accounts, buyer roles, quotes, purchase orders, invoice payment and net terms all behave in the app the way they behave on your storefront. Price lists and customer-group pricing apply as configured, so a logged-in buyer sees their own catalogue and their own prices.

Does my BigCommerce checkout change?

No. Customers check out through your existing BigCommerce checkout, with your payment gateways, tax configuration, shipping rules and any checkout customization intact. No payment routing moves to a third party, and nothing about your order flow changes.

How long does it take to launch a BigCommerce mobile app?

Most BigCommerce stores go live on the App Store and Google Play in 6 to 8 weeks from kickoff. That covers discovery and design in week one, the build in weeks two and three, QA and your sign-off in week four, then submission and store review, which typically takes one to two weeks.

Does MobiLoud take a percentage of in-app sales?

No. MobiLoud is a flat monthly subscription with no revenue share and no per-transaction fee, so what you pay does not move with what the app sells.

Can I run multiple storefronts or currencies in one app?

Yes. A multi-storefront BigCommerce setup can run as a single app that switches between storefronts, or as separate apps, whichever fits how you sell. Each storefront can have its own navigation, push notification audience and onboarding, and multi-currency works exactly as it does on the web.

Who owns the app and the App Store listing?

You do. Apps are submitted under your own Apple Developer and Google Play Console accounts, so the listings, ratings, install base, analytics and customer data all belong to you. If you ever move on, the listings and the users stay with you.

Do I need a developer to maintain a BigCommerce mobile app?

No. Your team keeps shipping to the store the way it does now, and the app follows automatically. MobiLoud handles the native side permanently: iOS and Android releases, SDK deprecations, certificate renewals, store policy changes and resubmissions.

See your BigCommerce store as an app, before you decide anything

We'll build a working preview from your live store for you to see. No commitment, no credit card, and nothing to install on your store.
