Either way, this post is for you. We've got the best alternatives to Via Customers, to help you build an app for your eCommerce store, fast, affordably and efficiently.
Via Customers is branded as a "unified SMS and mobile app platform for e-commerce."
Up until 2023, Via Customers provided an app builder that allowed Shopify store owners to turn their website into mobile apps.
However, as of November 2023, their service has been discontinued.
If Via Customers was on your radar, or you were a Via Customers user, you'll now be looking for an alternative platform.
Read on for the top five options available to you now, starting with our own website-to-app platform, MobiLoud.
MobiLoud is the platform behind thousands of top apps, including many high-revenue eCommerce apps.
MobiLoud lets you convert your existing website into apps, with no rebuilding required. Everything on your site works the same in the apps, with mobile-specific features added such as native navigation and push notifications.
It gives your users a full native mobile experience, for a fraction of the time, cost and effort.
MobiLoud apps are fully synced with your website, leaving minimal work to maintain and update your apps. Whenever you update your website, the apps update at the same time.
On top of all that, everything is done for you. Our team configures and builds your apps (to your desired specifications), we test and publish them, submit them to the app stores, and handle all technical updates and maintenance after launch.
Our eCommerce app platform integrates with any CMS - whether it's Shopify, WooCommerce, PrestaShop or any other - and even works with custom-built websites. It's easily the most effective way for any eCommerce store to launch an app today.
We have three standard pricing tiers:
The recurring cost is 15% cheaper on annual plans. Read more about our pricing here.
MobiLoud allows you to go way beyond the block-centric, limited apps that app builders restrict you to.
We let you fully recreate your current user experience in the app - with small tweaks for mobile that elevate the UX even more.
Everything that you rely on to make conversions on your website - plugins, integrations, design alterations, custom features - work the same in your app.
You'll never be able to translate all of this to your app if you use a block-based app builder.
Best of all, it requires very little work to maintain, unlike most apps, which double or triple your ongoing workload.
This makes it a no-brainer to try MobiLoud to launch your apps, with little to no risk or downside, and huge upside for revenue and retention.

As a straightforward app builder for Shopify eCommerce stores, Shopney is known for its solid integrations, themes, and features. It could be a suitable option if a simple app mirroring your site's product catalogue is your aim. But its template-based operation can't fully convert your site into iOS and Android apps or leverage all your existing plugins, themes, and features. For complex and unique businesses, this will be a drawback, forcing your store to fit their set templates.
