Shopaholic integrates with the Shopify e-commerce platform and provides a seamless, easy to use way to manage information required for their mobile app.

This includes:

  • Look and feel: Colour, font, logo, icon and launch screen 
  • Announcements: Managing announcements to display on the mobile app including customisable start and and date-times
  • Collections: Fetching collections from the Shopify store and enabling sorting for presentation on the mobile app.

Shopify based solution for native mobile-app creation​

Shopify is a global e-commerce platform that facilitates creation of digital marketplaces/stores. Although these stores are web and mobile friendly, Shopify does not provide native mobile app for store owners. This is where Shopaholic creates the facilitation layer between the Shopify platform and a native app for the iOS platform.

A native mobile app enriches the customer experience by providing personalising recommendations, in-app announcements and push notifications.

Shopaholic aims to extend to its users – primarily store owners – the ability to reach their customers in a seamless and personalised way using the Shopaholic native iOS mobile app.
