WooCommerce Android App Builder

You can use WooCommerce android app builders to restructure your online store for mobile devices. You’ll be able to reach a larger audience and make use of features like push notifications, which can help you boost purchases.

We’ll go over the basics of WooCommerce app builders in this tutorial. Then, using Appmaker, we’ll show you how to develop an app for your store.

What Is a WooCommerce App Builder?

A WooCommerce app builder is a service that guides you through the process of creating a mobile app for your WooCommerce store. While you can make an app on your own, the learning curve is steep.

Why Use a WooCommerce App Builder?

Without coding, the WooCommerce Mobile App Builder turns your web store into a set of native Android and iOS apps. Languages, currencies, products, shipping methods, and payments are all supported with the WooCommerce mobile app.

Apps are more powerful than mobile websites because they are more interactive. They are based on the operating system of the phone and hence have access to more functions.

To mention a few, these unique features include faster touchscreen access, fingerprint scanner, camera, stored accounts, and email accounts.

Apps are also far more user-friendly and appealing than most mobile websites, owing to the assumption that the majority of consumers will first download the app version. As a result, businesses will devote more resources to improving mobile apps than to improving mobile websites.

Faster Access

Apps are far more convenient than websites from the user’s perspective. A single tap of the finger is all it takes to open an app. To access the mobile website, open the browser, type in the website’s name, and then hit enter. As a result, most individuals will utilize a smartphone app if one is accessible.

With popular programs like Facebook, this is easy to see. The Facebook app is downloaded over 100 million times per month, indicating that it is quite popular. Only 1.7 percent of Facebook users access the site only using their desktop computer, according to Statista. In other words, 98.3 percent of customers utilize the mobile app at least once a month.

Offline Content Access

Because mobile websites are accessible via a browser, they require an active internet connection to work. On the other hand, native mobile apps might contain a lot of offline capability. While it may seem trivial in today’s always-connected society, it’s vital to realize that not everyone has a high-speed data plan for their phone.

While clients may not be able to purchase things or engage in other online activities, the material can be accessed offline using mobile apps. Images, text, video, and other forms of media are included.

Improved User Experience

Native apps surpass online apps in practically every regard when it comes to performance. They are faster, can use more images and animations, and are not limited by the limits of the web browser.

Apps are often self-contained; you simply download them to your phone and they’re ready to use. Aside from updates and other small modifications, there is no additional loading required. This means they run faster because they don’t have to download fresh graphics or other resources as frequently as a website does.

Push Notifications

The ability to send push alerts is one of the more obvious advantages of having a mobile app. Push notifications, for users who opt-in, can be a very effective approach to increase the number of people who read your material.

When you publish a new post, add a new product, have a sale or dozens of other events occur, you can send fresh notifications.

Purchase Without Logging In

Most crucially, applications allow users to make recurring purchases without logging in to your website. Most phone systems also allow you to save your credit card information directly to your phone.

This increases the chance of spontaneous purchases by reducing the amount of effort and time required to pay. In general, the fewer steps necessary to complete a transaction, the better!
