Your store. On their home screen. In 14 days.
TAPQUAD turns the website you already run into a native iOS and Android app. It connects to your existing site, so there is no migration, no second catalogue to maintain, and nothing to keep in sync by hand. Stores are the common case. They are not the only one.
A browser tab is rented. A home screen icon is owned.
Your mobile site has to be found again every single time — through a search, a bookmark, an ad you paid for twice. An app sits on the device, stays signed in, keeps the cart, and can tap the customer on the shoulder for free.
Four steps. About two weeks.
The technology already exists — that is why this is fast. The time goes into making it yours and getting it through the stores.
For comparison, the platform-agnostic alternatives publish six to eight weeks.
Any platform. And any website — not only a store.
Shopify, WooCommerce, Adobe Commerce, BigCommerce, or something your team built themselves — the app connects to the site you already run. It does not have to be a store at all. A catalogue, a booking system, a member portal, a support site: if it works in a browser, it can sit on a home screen instead.
A fixed price for the build. No per-user fees.
The app builders that support every platform are subscriptions. You pay every month for as long as the app exists, and above a usage threshold the bill is metered against how many people open it — so the cost rises exactly when the app starts working.
We charge a fixed price for the build — no per-user charge and no usage tier, so the price you agree is the price whether the app has two hundred users or two hundred thousand. Once it is live, a maintenance contract keeps it current with the changes Apple and Google make mandatory, priced on the app’s complexity and the store rules it has to meet, not on how many people use it.
Lola’s app not only helped us increase sales on mobile — it turned our business into a mobile-friendly platform customers love.
Mateo MaslovGeneral Manager, Lola’s Food Inc.We run commerce at scale on the other side of the desk.
TAPQUAD®’s commerce practice is run by people who manage enterprise storefronts every day — a multi-site Adobe Commerce portfolio across B2B and DTC, and Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce and custom stacks besides. So when your catalogue has customer-specific pricing, awkward variants or an ERP in the middle, we have already met it.
Straight answers.
How do you turn my store into a mobile app?
We connect our app technology to the store you already run. Your catalogue, pricing, inventory and orders stay exactly where they are — the app reads from the same engine, so there is nothing to rebuild and nothing to migrate.
Which platforms do you support?
Any website technology — Shopify, WooCommerce, Adobe Commerce (Magento), BigCommerce, headless and fully custom builds, and sites that are not stores at all. What we check at scoping is what your site exposes, not whether it appears on a supported list. We are also a Shopify Partner.
How fast is it really?
About 14 days from kickoff to a submitted app. The build itself is quick because the technology already exists; the time goes into your branding, catalogue mapping, testing and store submission.
Do I need to change my website or run two inventories?
No. One catalogue, one inventory, one set of pricing rules. Nothing about your existing store has to change, and there is no second system to maintain.
Will it be a web wrapper or a native app?
Native. Wrappers get rejected by the stores, feel slow, and cannot use push notifications or device features properly.
How does an app beat a mobile-friendly website?
A browser tab has to be found again every time. An app sits on the home screen, keeps the customer signed in, remembers the cart and can send a push notification — which for any business that relies on repeat orders is the difference between being remembered and being searched for.
Who handles App Store and Google Play submission?
We do. Submission, store listings, review responses and ongoing OS updates are handled for you, and we stay on it if a build gets rejected.
What happens if Apple or Google rejects the app?
Most rejections come down to privacy policy requirements or content the stores do not permit. We build to the App Store and Google Play rules from the start and follow the applicable laws, so it rarely comes up — and if a review does come back, we respond, correct it and resubmit.
Can I keep my existing payment gateway?
Yes. We work with what you already have rather than forcing a migration.
Will my customer-specific or contract pricing carry through?
Yes. The app reads the same pricing rules your store already applies, including customer-specific rates, tiers and quantity breaks, so a logged-in buyer sees what they should see.
What does maintenance look like after launch?
Once the app is live we put a maintenance contract in place. Apple and Google make changes that are mandatory — SDK levels, privacy declarations, deprecated APIs — and the contract keeps your app current with them, so it is never pulled or blocked for being out of date.
What does it cost after launch?
The build is a fixed price agreed before we start, with no per-user fee. After launch, a maintenance contract keeps the app current with Apple and Google requirements — new SDK levels, privacy declarations, deprecated APIs — priced on the app’s complexity rather than on how many people use it.
Does it have to be an online store?
No. Any website can become an app — a catalogue, a booking system, a member portal, an internal tool. Commerce is the most common request because the return is easiest to measure, but the work is the same.
