Custom Android shopping app development for online stores
A custom Android app for your store, tested across screen sizes and published on Google Play.
Android covers a wide range of phones, screen sizes and OS versions, so an Android shopping app has to be tested on more than a handful of devices. We build for the range your customers actually use, using your store analytics to choose which devices and Android versions to support.
The app connects to your catalog and checkout, supports Google Pay, biometric sign-in and push notifications through Firebase Cloud Messaging, and is published on Google Play with the data safety form and policy declarations completed correctly.
Who this is for
Stores with a large Android customer base, stores selling in markets where Android is the main phone, and brands that want the same app on both platforms from one plan.
What you get
- A native or cross-platform build, chosen with you
- Google sign-in, email and fingerprint or face unlock
- Google Pay alongside your other payment methods
- Push notifications through Firebase Cloud Messaging
- Testing across a range of screen sizes and OS versions
- Google Play listing, data safety form and release tracks

Android shopping apps questions
Often yes, because the screens, features and backend are mostly the same. A cross-platform build shares one codebase, while two native apps cost more to build and keep in step. We lay out the trade-offs for your feature list before you decide.
We pick a minimum version from your own analytics and the share of customers it would exclude. Supporting very old versions adds testing work, so we show you what each cut-off costs.
Yes. Your website brings in search traffic and new customers. The app serves customers who already know you and want a faster, more personal way to shop.
