How to Convert Your Zoho Commerce Site Into A Mobile App

It’s a fact: mobile eCommerce is on the rise.

More and more people are using their phones to shop, and if your eCommerce store isn’t optimized for mobile, you’re missing out on a huge chunk of potential revenue.

But a mobile website alone isn't enough. All the top brands today have their own mobile apps.

You, too, can build and launch an app for your Zoho Commerce store - and it won't cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars.

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 Zoho Commerce store into a mobile app with MobiLoud.

Can You Create Mobile Apps with Zoho Commerce?

The Zoho Commerce platform is designed for websites. And the underlying technology is very different between a website and a mobile app.

This means you'll need some help if you're going to create a mobile app for your Zoho Commerce store.

You'll either need to build your app as a separate platform, and build an API to connect the mobile app to your Zoho Commerce backend.

Or, you can use a service to convert your website into a mobile app - like MobiLoud.

What's the Best Way to Convert a Zoho Commerce Store Into an App?

The best way to turn your Zoho Commerce store into a mobile app is converting your site with MobiLoud.

Ultimately, building a separate mobile app is too expensive, time-consuming, and comes with a lot of overhead.

It can take anywhere from $50,000 to six figures plus to develop a mobile app.

Time-wise, you're looking at six months to a year before you can launch.

And then once you launch, you're stuck with an expensive platform to maintain.

“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

Many businesses today turn to eCommerce mobile app builders instead of building natively.

These tools offer a no-code development experience, allowing non-coders to build mobile apps relatively fast and inexpensively.

But there are two major issues.

1. While popular eCommerce platforms like Shopify have a vast ecosystem of tools and plugins, there are few app builders made to work with Zoho Commerce.
2. Even if you can find an app builder for Zoho Commerce, these tools are limiting, and make it hard (if not impossible) to fully integrate all the features from your store into your apps.

A Zoho Commerce mobile app builder is not the way.

MobiLoud, however, gives you all the benefits of a no-code development tool, without the limitations, making it the best way to create a Zoho Commerce mobile app.

How to Turn Your Zoho Commerce Store into a Mobile App

With MobiLoud, you can create a mobile app for your Zoho Commerce store in less than 30 days.

MobiLoud is a service to turn any website into Android and iOS apps.

MobiLoud fully recreates the experience of your web store in the apps. Unlike drag-and-drop app builders, it doesn't use templates, pre-built blocks and API integrations.

It shows a real, up-to-date, functional version of your website inside your app. It's fully synced with your store, for absolute consistency and easy maintenance.

As long as your mobile website is fast and offers a great user experience, your app will do the same - but better, with the addition of UI elements that give it a native experience.

MobiLoud apps also have unlimited push notification functionality, built in from launch.

This lets you set up and run powerful push notification campaigns to drive revenue, such as abandoned cart notifications (which can drive tens of thousands in monthly revenue for your brand, on autopilot).

The best part is, it's fully managed.

There's nothing for you to do but test your apps and give approval after we build them.

We handle the build, app store publishing, and technical maintenance and updates after you launch.

For a low upfront cost, and a small monthly fee, you can build an app that drives five figures in revenue for your brand each month, with no extra weight added to your workflow.
