How to Convert a Salesforce Commerce Cloud Site to Mobile Apps

If you're running an eCommerce store in 2025, you need your own app.

Online commerce is becoming increasingly mobile-centric.

Around 60% of all eCommerce sales worldwide come on mobile. And many of these shoppers prefer to use apps.

Launching your own mobile apps gives you a way to stay connected with mobile-first shopping habits, while growing AOV, CVR and LTV, with a powerful brand asset.

If you want to grow your business and stay relevant in a mobile-first eCommerce landscape, keep reading, and we'll show you how to convert your Salesforce Commerce store into a mobile app with MobiLoud.

Can You Create Mobile Apps With Salesforce Commerce Cloud?

Among Salesforce's sophisticated tools, they don't offer a dedicated mobile app builder.

They do provided you with the tools to build a hybrid storefront, with composable commerce features that mean you can reuse parts of your store across different platforms, like mobile apps.

This makes it a little easier to create a mobile app for your store - but you'll still need a lot of development to code the native side.

If you have app developers on staff, great.

If not, you'll need to hire a team of developers, find an agency to build and manage your apps... or take another route.

Three Ways to Build an App For Your Salesforce Commerce Site

Salesforce Commerce Cloud is a powerful platform, but you'll need additional resources to create a dedicated app for your site.

Here are your three options:

1. Hire Developers: Build native apps from scratch and integrate them with your Salesforce Commerce backend. This approach is expensive, time-consuming, and requires significant technical expertise.
2. Use a Salesforce Commerce App Builder: Create the app yourself with a no-code tool. While simpler than coding, these tools are often limited and may not fully capture your store’s functionality.
3. Convert Your Site into an App with MobiLoud: MobiLoud can transform your Salesforce store into a high-quality mobile app quickly and affordably.

The first two options come with drawbacks in cost, time, and functionality.

Converting your site into an app with MobiLoud is a smarter choice, offering better results with less effort.

Let's expand on these three options now.

Native Apps

Creating a standalone mobile app is costly, time-intensive, and comes with significant ongoing responsibilities.

First, it costs a lot. Building a mobile app can cost anywhere from $50,000 to well over six figures.

The development process will take six months to a year before you’re ready to launch. And that's assuming everything goes according to plan.

After launch, you’re left managing and maintaining a platform that continues to demand significant resources.

You'll essentially need a full-time team on staff, or an agency on retainer, to ensure your apps remain up-to-date.

 "If we had unlimited time and money, we would probably go for a custom native app, but that is half a million to a million a year to maintain."

- David Cost, VP of eCommerce & Marketing at Rainbow Shops

For most businesses, these challenges make traditional app development an impractical choice.

App Builders

Many businesses choose eCommerce mobile app builders as an alternative to building apps natively.

These tools let non-coders create mobile apps quickly and at a lower cost by offering a no-code development experience.

However, there are two major downsides:

1. While platforms like Shopify have plenty of tools and plugins, there's not as big an ecosystem for tools that work with Salesforce Commerce.
2. Even when you find a Salesforce Commerce app builder, these tools often come with limitations. They struggle to fully integrate all your store’s features into the app, making it hard to deliver a polished and functional experience for users.

If you’re looking to build a Salesforce Commerce mobile app, app builders aren’t the best choice.

They may save time and money upfront, but the compromises in functionality and user experience will hurt your business in the long run.
