Shopify Mobile App Development
Flagship done-for-you native iOS, Android, and PWA development service.
Shopify mobile app development is the process of building a native iOS and Android app, or a PWA, on top of an existing Shopify store, so customers can shop from a home-screen app instead of a mobile browser. Mobile web on Shopify converts at roughly 2.1 to 2.9 percent, against 3.5 to 3.9 percent on desktop (Dynamic Yield, 2025), and native apps convert about 130 percent higher than mobile web (Venn Apps, 2025). Bonsify is a Shopify services company by FetchSky that builds native iOS and Android apps, PWAs, new Shopify stores, platform migrations, custom apps, and more.
What's included
Bonsify's mobile app development covers the full build, not just the app itself:
- Native iOS and Android development, or a PWA build depending on what the audit recommends
- Push notification strategy and setup, tied to real store events like abandoned checkout and back-in-stock
- App Store and Google Play submission and ASO
- Install-to-purchase attribution, so app performance is measurable, not assumed
- App maintenance and support, available as an optional retainer past launch
How the process works
The engagement runs in four phases. First, a free audit reviews the store's actual mobile conversion data and comes back with a scoped recommendation, whether that's a native app, a PWA, or something else entirely, at no cost. Second, the build itself, native software developed around the store's specific catalog, checkout, and customer data. Third, launch, which includes app store submission and the initial push notification setup. Fourth, an optional support retainer for ongoing maintenance, updates, and troubleshooting.
Pricing is a fixed quote after the audit, with no success fees and no percentage of GMV. The client owns the app, the store listings, and all the data behind them throughout.
Why native over a template builder
Self-serve builders like Tapcart, Vajro, or Shopney give a merchant a dashboard to configure, which means someone on the team has to build screens, manage push, and handle app store resubmissions as an ongoing job. A done-for-you native build removes that ongoing configuration work, and because it isn't templated, it isn't capped by what a template supports. Users spend 6.4 times longer per session in native apps than on mobile web (BuildFire), and push notifications run 20 to 26 percent open rates against 15 to 20 percent for email, both of which depend on the app being built around the store's real behavior rather than a generic setting.
BachaParty (bachaaparty.com) and Highfy (highfy.pk) both run native apps built and maintained this way.
Beyond mobile apps
Mobile app development is Bonsify's flagship offering, but the same team also handles the rest of the Shopify stack: store builds, platform migrations, custom app development, theme development, and store optimization. If a store's audit points to a different fix, a slow theme, a platform migration, that work happens under the same engagement.
Getting started
The free audit is the first step for any Shopify mobile app project. It reviews the store's real mobile data and returns a scoped recommendation and quote in days.
