React Native Development · Shopify Native

One codebase. iOS and Android that convert

Shopify-connected React Native apps that ship on App Store and Google Play from a shared codebase. Apple Pay, Google Pay, push, deep links and offline shopping — without paying twice for two native teams. We build apps that feel native, stay maintainable and turn mobile traffic into higher conversion and retention.

01 / CAPABILITIES

Sixteen ways we build Shopify apps for iOS and Android together.

From a shared codebase and Storefront API to Apple Pay, Google Pay, push, deep links and dual-store launch. One team, both platforms, full lifecycle.

01

Shared React Native codebase

One TypeScript/React codebase that ships polished iOS and Android apps — native modules only where platform differences truly matter.

02

Shopify Storefront integration

Products, collections, cart, checkout and customer accounts wired via Storefront API with caching and offline-aware design on both platforms.

03

Apple Pay & Google Pay

Platform-native payments on both stores so checkout feels instant and conversion stays high without platform-specific forks of the whole app.

04

Push on both platforms

APNs and FCM from a shared notification layer: opt-in design, segmentation and lifecycle campaigns that work on iOS and Android.

05

Deep links & attribution

Universal links, App Links and deferred deep linking so campaigns land on the right product screen on both App Store and Play.

06

Dual store launch

App Store and Google Play submission, metadata, privacy forms and guideline compliance managed as one engagement.

07

Biometrics & secure auth

Face ID, Touch ID and Android biometrics with shared session and customer account logic tied to Shopify.

08

Subscriptions & loyalty

In-app subscribe, manage and loyalty flows synced with Shopify and your providers, shared across both platforms.

09

Quizzes & personalisation

In-app quizzes, recommendation engines and personalised home screens that drive higher AOV on both iOS and Android.

10

Offline & performance

Cached catalogues, offline cart and resilient networking so the app stays usable on weak connections on both platforms.

11

Analytics & events

GA4, Firebase, Meta and custom events from a shared layer so you measure revenue impact consistently across stores.

12

B2B & wholesale apps

Company accounts, price lists, net terms and reorder flows for B2B shoppers on both iOS and Android.

13

Migration from builders

Move off template or low-code platforms onto a maintainable React Native codebase without losing users on either store.

14

Shared design system

Component library and design tokens that respect HIG and Material Design where it matters, while keeping one product language.

15

International & multi-market

Localisation, multi-currency and region-aware catalogues for brands selling across Shopify Markets on both platforms.

16

Post-launch growth retainers

Shared release cadence, A/B tests, crash monitoring and feature sprints so one team improves both apps after launch.

02 / PROCESS

How a React Native engagement runs.

Every engagement follows the same four stages. You always know what is happening next and how success is measured at each milestone.

  1. Stage 1

    Discovery & product definition

    We review your store, mobile traffic, conversion data and goals, then define shared app scope, platform-specific must-haves and success metrics before design starts.

  2. Stage 2

    UX, design system & architecture

    Wireframes, shared component system, platform nuances (HIG vs Material) and technical architecture (navigation, API strategy, offline, push) are locked in.

  3. Stage 3

    Build, test & dual-store launch

    Sprint-based development with TestFlight and internal testing tracks, device QA on both platforms, App Store and Play Console submission as one engagement.

  4. Stage 4

    Measure, iterate & grow

    Post-launch analytics, push optimisation, A/B tests and optional retainers so one team keeps improving both apps together.

05 / WHY BRANDS STAY

Six reasons brands stay with us for React Native development.

Most of our mobile work is repeat business or referral. These are the reasons clients give when we ask why.

One team, both platforms

Shared codebase and one accountable team instead of two native programmes that drift apart and double the cost.

Shopify-connected by design

Storefront API, Apple Pay, Google Pay and real inventory from day one — not a generic shell that fights your catalogue later.

A dedicated lead on every project

One accountable owner, clear weekly updates, no account-manager telephone game.

Both store processes included

App Store and Google Play guidelines, metadata, privacy forms and submission are part of the engagement.

Transparent, fixed-scope pricing

Written scope and a fixed number before work starts. No surprise line items or hourly creep.

You own the code & accounts

Full repository access, App Store and Play Console ownership and documentation. We stay because the work is good, not because exit is hard.

07 / FAQ

Questions we hear before every React Native engagement.

Honest answers, including the ones most agencies dodge.

How long does a typical React Native app take?

Focused Shopify React Native apps for both stores usually run 14–22 weeks from discovery to dual launch. Larger feature sets take longer. Timeline is fixed in the SOW before work starts.

When is React Native better than pure native?

When you need both iOS and Android, want one team and one roadmap, and can accept native modules only for platform-specific pieces (payments, biometrics, etc.). Pure native still wins for extreme performance or heavy platform-only UX.

Do you handle both App Store and Google Play?

Yes. Metadata, screenshots, privacy forms, guideline compliance and submission for both stores are part of the project. We manage both review processes until the apps are live.

What does a typical engagement cost?

Projects: $30K–$140K. Monthly retainers: $5K–$16K/mo. Dedicated team: $12K–$30K/mo. Every quote is fixed-fee and locked in the SOW.

How do you connect the app to Shopify?

Primarily via the Storefront API for catalogue, cart and checkout, with Admin API where needed. Apple Pay and Google Pay are integrated so each platform feels native.

Do you support both apps after launch?

Yes. Retainers cover shared releases, crash monitoring, push optimisation, A/B tests and new features for both stores. Most clients stay on retainer after the initial launch.
