Shop2App

Shop2App is a hyper-focused mobile app builder for subscription brands who are looking to improve customer loyalty and retention.

When a user downloads the app, they start with a brief onboarding sequence, which the brand creates, and then they are moved into a unique homepage experience that the brand builds out. This can be similar to your existing homepage, but it will be at least a little different, and is catered towards existing customers.

Users can easily manage their subscriptions from the backend of the app, skip a month, add a product, or unsubscribe, with the custom ReCharge flow built in, and then go to checkout. Checkout itself is still native web, meaning they get taken to a webpage to finalize that checkout process.

The user only has to go through the checkout process once, and then their information is remembered for all future transactions. So while we are going to native web (which is sort of forced by ReCharge and Shopify) it's still a very seamless experience.

They have a deep integration with Smile.io for encouraging usage of your loyalty program and loyalty points, including through push notifications.

Their push notifications options include:

• Welcome Offer
• Abandoned Cart, Browse Abandonment
• Post-Purchase Upsell, Follow Up Offers
• Blog Post Education / Engagement

Shop2App can be set up without a developer, but sometimes you may bring one in for some custom dev work, custom integrations, etc. Ideally, you've got the right apps in your stack that integrate directly with them, and you can avoid that.

It will take 1 - 5 hours to set up the app depending on how many different apps you need to integrate, how many custom creatives you may need for things such as the homepage banners, and changing around the layout, loyalty integration, subscription integration options, etc.

From there it will take a few days to 2 weeks to get approved in the Google/Apple stores and have your mobile app available for download by your customers.

Shop2App is built specifically for ReCharge subscription brands using Smile for loyalty (they will integrate with other loyalty tools in the future).

Alternatively, they are great for local, possibly multi-store businesses, that are looking for increasing online orders with in-store pickups from their loyal neighborhood customers.

In either case, you need to be a merchant that cares a lot about the retention of your customers, and the higher your existing retention, the stronger a mobile app builder will work for you.
