Why brands add an app

The problem

Ads bring first-time buyers, but every repeat order you win back through ads costs you again. Marketplaces take a cut and keep the customer.

The fix

An app sits on your best customers' home screens. Push offers cost nothing to send, saved details make reordering one tap, and app buyers usually order more often than website visitors.

Questions

Straight answers. Ask anything else in your brief and we reply within 24 hours.

A Shopify store is ₹90K. A shopping app for Android and iOS linked to your store starts at ₹5L. Multi-vendor marketplaces are quoted after a short paid scoping sprint.

Yes. The app reads products, prices and stock from Shopify and sends orders back, so you manage everything in one place.

Not always. An app pays off once you have repeat customers: push offers, saved carts and one-tap reorder bring them back more often than a website.

UPI, cards, net banking, wallets, EMI and cash on delivery through Razorpay, with COD limits you control.

Yes. Shiprocket or Delhivery for labels, pickups and tracking, with delivery estimates by pin code.

8 to 12 weeks from the fixed quote to the App Store and Play Store, including a test with real orders.
