Mobile commerce is booming.
Consumers today expect to be able to shop from anywhere, at any time. To stay competitive and relevant in the retail world today, you need a mobile app.
But developing custom native apps is as expensive as it's ever been, while most no-code solutions are too limited.
Is there a better way to turn your Adobe Commerce site into a mobile app?
There is. MobiLoud.
Keep reading and we'll explain why you need a little help if you want to convert your Adobe Commerce store into an app, along with several options to do it, and a walkthrough of the most straightforward way to build your own, branded mobile app.
Can You Build Mobile Apps with Adobe Commerce?
Adobe Commerce (and its predecessor, Magento) is a web platform.
It's great for websites, but it doesn't come with the capability to create true mobile apps.
You could create a Progressive Web App (PWA) - but that's really just a shallow imitation of a true mobile app.
If you want to extend your store as a mobile app, there are a few options.
Hire developers to code custom native apps
You could create fully custom apps, by hiring developers or a development agency to build the apps and connect them to your Adobe Commerce store.
While this is technically viable, it's not financially viable. You're looking at $100,000+ to launch, and significant financial and operational overhead to maintain.
Unless your brand is called Nike or Adidas, there's no point considering native development.
No-code app builders
A much more affordable option would be to use a DIY no-code app builder to build your apps.
This is much more financially viable. But it's not the best if you want to build apps that generate real revenue for your business.
You'll need to fit the vision for the app into the limitations of the app builder.
These tools work with pre-built blocks and templates, and invariably, your app is going to end up being a shadow of your website.
That is if you can find a decent no-code tool that integrates with Adobe Commerce - most of the top tools are made for Shopify, and the market for Adobe Commerce app builders is significantly less mature.
Building an Adobe Commerce mobile app with MobiLoud
The third option is to use a website to app service - MobiLoud.
MobiLoud is the best of both worlds. You don't have the limitations of an app builder, or the massive cost and complexity of native development.
It literally converts your Adobe Commerce site into mobile apps for iOS and Android, retaining everything from your website, with everything customers expect in a native app.
For Adobe Commerce store owners who want to see their website come to life as an app, but don't want the hassle and overhead of rebuilding and managing a new platform, MobiLoud is by far the best way to make it happen.
Converting Your Adobe Commerce Site into an App
MobiLoud lets you convert your Adobe Commerce store into an app, with no rebuilding, no limitations.
You'll be able to launch full-featured mobile apps, managed from within your Adobe Commerce backend, for the cost of a day's sales.
There's no effort required. Our team does everything for you, managing the whole process, up to and including submitting your apps to the app stores.
Unlike app builders, there are no limits to what you can do.
You don't need to work within the constraints of pre-built templates and APIs. Everything that works on your site will work in the apps too, guaranteed.
"The fact that we can roll out quite complex solutions and updates to improve our experience for customers on the website, and that's immediately in the app, that's priceless."
- Damien Smith, Chief Technology Officer at BoozeBud
Compared to building a custom app from scratch, there's no comparison.
For a custom build, you're looking at six figures upfront (minimum), and another five-six figures per year to maintain.
That's too much - and you won't even get to see if your investment will pay off until six to nine months down the road.
MobiLoud lets you go live within a month - and start making a profit from your app soon after.
