Why an app

An app is a free sales channel that works 24/7

Your own app isn't a gimmick. It's a home screen icon, push notifications, and customers who come back on their own. Push open rates beat email and SMS combined.

🔔

Push notifications as a sales channel

Free reach for drops, sales, restocks and abandoned carts. 25-45% open rate, far above email.

📦

The same PrestaShop store

iOS + Android native wrapper. Zero duplication of catalog, cart, checkout, customer accounts or orders. Edit once, change visible everywhere.

⚡

Deployment in days, not months

No developer sprints on your side. Config, push, analytics and App Store + Google Play deployment all on us.

🏷️

Higher margin, own channel

No marketplace commission, full first-party data, direct customer relationship. Retention and LTV higher than on web.

📊

Full analytics in GA4

All e-commerce events (view, add_to_cart, checkout, purchase) tracked in GTM. Web vs app segmentation, app_platform as user property.

🛡️

Zero tech risk

Capacitor + official Apple and Google plugins. Maintained by the Ionic Team. Web store updates = instantly visible in the app.

How it works

Your store wrapped in a native iOS and Android layer

We use Capacitor, the same technology powering hundreds of apps from major brands. Your PrestaShop store is the app interior. We add the native layer: APNS/FCM push, splash, icons, deep linking, system integrations (share, biometrics, haptics).

No revolution on your side. Catalog, checkout, ExpertSender / Klaviyo modules, payment gateways, login, coupons — everything works as today. The app is a thin layer that adds a channel, not replaces the shop.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to rewrite my PrestaShop store?
No. Your PrestaShop stays unchanged. The app is a thin native shell that displays your store in native mode (no browser bar) and adds push, deep links, native gestures and a presence on App Store / Google Play.
How do push notifications work?
We configure APNS (iOS) and FCM (Android) and integrate push with the tool you use (OneSignal, Firebase, ExpertSender push, SalesManago and more). You send pushes from a panel like emails — segmentation, scheduling, A/B tests. Open rates usually 25-45%, far above email.
What about shop updates?
You edit catalog, prices, promos in PrestaShop as before. Changes appear in the app instantly, because the app displays your website. An app update (new version in App Store) is needed only when you change something native — icon, splash, or add a new plugin.
What are App Store and Google Play fees?
Apple Developer Program — USD 99/year (your fee, account under your company). Google Play Developer Account — USD 25 one-time. Both fees are on the client side because accounts must be under your brand. We help set up and configure them.
What if Apple or Google rejects the app?
It happens, especially in the first review. We run the review process until acceptance — responding to Apple / Google notes, iterating builds, updating copy. Experience publishing apps for PrestaShop stores (Surf Inc. approved on the first review).
Does the app work offline?
The app needs internet to load the store, but has a native splash and offline fallback — instead of a blank browser page the customer sees a screen with your brand and a "try again" button. Asset cache and recently viewed products remain visible even after brief network loss.
Who maintains the app after launch?
We offer a monthly maintenance package — iOS / Android updates on SDK changes, Apple certificate renewals (yearly), Capacitor and plugin updates, small changes. Alternatively we can hand the project over to your developer with full documentation.
How long does deployment take and what do we need from you?
3-4 weeks from kick-off to publication. We need from you: PrestaShop access or developer contact, vector logo, brand colors, ability to set up Apple Developer and Google Play accounts, push tool selection. Everything else is on us.
