How much does an ecommerce app really cost?
Today, any competitive ecommerce needs an app. The mobile channel accounts for 73% of the total volume of online purchases, according to data from Mobile E-commerce Share Worldwide. But the problem is different: developing a customized app can be expensive, time-consuming and inflexible.
Therefore, many brands face a paradox: either they invest months (and thousands of euros) in native development or they resign themselves to generic apps that do not represent their brand or deliver results.
In this article we not only answer what should be the best platform to launch an ecommerce app. We show you through a real example: Atrápalo, a leading brand in leisure and travel, which launched its customized app with Reskyt in a fast, cost-effective and hassle-free way.
You shouldn't have to duplicate steps or worry about updates. The ideal platform connects with Shopify, Magento, PrestaShop, VTEX or your own CMS and reflects in the app everything that changes on the web. This means that products, prices, categories or availability are automatically synchronized.
Your marketing team should be able to launch a campaign, change a banner or send a push without waiting for anyone from IT. The dashboard should be visual, simple and real-time. This not only improves agility, but also allows you to test, A/B test or adapt on the fly.
Native apps perform far better than hybrid apps, according to BrowserStack. This translates into a smoother user experience, fewer uninstalls and better store ratings.
Your app should look like it was tailor-made for your brand. Same tone, same structure, same identity. No clone apps or limited templates. Every detail should reflect your visual style, from colors to messages to transitions.
Your app has to grow with you. From promotions to new features, everything should be adaptable without redoing anything from scratch. The ideal system allows you to implement modular features such as loyalty programs, smart recommendations or integrations with marketing automation tools.
