Flutter e-commerce apps for teams that care about revenue, not vanity metrics
If most of your customers already shop on their phones, your mobile experience is either a growth engine or a leak. At BYBOWU, we design and build custom Flutter e-commerce apps that feel native on iOS and Android, connect cleanly to your current commerce stack, and are judged on one thing: do they drive profitable orders and repeat purchases.
We work with funded startups, retail and DTC brands, and B2B marketplaces that want a senior product partner, not just "someone to code the app". Our team is based in Phoenix, AZ, and we work with clients across the US and internationally.
The problems we help you fix
If these feel familiar, your mobile app is an opportunity, not a side project:
- Mobile web is slow and clunky, so add-to-cart and checkout completion lag behind desktop.
- You maintain separate iOS and Android apps, each with its own bugs, backlogs, and invoices.
- Marketing cannot run proper in-app campaigns, personalization, or attribution.
- Inventory, pricing, or promotions drift out of sync between web, app, and stores.
- First purchases look good on paper, but loyalty, subscriptions, and LTV are not where they should be.
Flutter lets us ship a single high-quality codebase for both platforms, which means more budget for UX, performance, and lifecycle features that actually move your numbers.
What we actually build for you
Every app is tailored to your brand, catalog, and backend, but most e-commerce builds include the following layers.
High-performance browsing and search
Your catalog should feel instant, even with thousands of SKUs. We design product discovery to keep people moving forward instead of bouncing.
- Fast product lists with smooth scrolling, pagination, and lazy image loading.
- Filters that respond immediately: price, size, attributes, rating, stock.
- Typo-tolerant search with suggestions and quick access to key categories.
- Support for variants, bundles, sets, and subscription products.
- Back-in-stock alerts and waitlists to capture intent instead of losing it.
Checkout and payments that do not get in the way
Every extra field or tap in checkout is a tax on your revenue. We keep flows short, secure, and aligned with how your customers already pay.
- Integrations with Stripe, PayPal, Braintree, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.
- One-tap checkout with stored cards, addresses, and biometric auth.
- Real-time tax, shipping, and promotion handling via your existing APIs.
- Tokenization and 3D Secure / SCA for lower fraud and chargebacks.
Cart, offers, and conversion optimization
We bring proven CRO patterns from web into your mobile app so you are not guessing.
- Persistent carts across sessions and devices.
- Promo codes, volume discounts, and free-shipping thresholds.
- Product recommendations and dynamic bundles to increase AOV.
- Abandoned-cart nudges through push notifications and in-app prompts.
Accounts, loyalty, and subscriptions
Profit comes from the second, third, and tenth order. We design account experiences that reward repeat behavior.
- Profiles, wishlists, order history, and one-tap reorders.
- Loyalty layers: points, tiers, referrals, and member pricing.
- Subscription management with options to pause, skip, or swap items.
- Saved preferences, alerts, and notification controls.
Analytics, reliability, and security
You should know what is working and where people drop off without guesswork.
- Event-level analytics with tools such as Firebase Analytics, Segment, Amplitude, or Mixpanel.
- Funnels and cohorts to see how different segments browse, buy, and retain.
- Server-side purchase events for stable revenue attribution.
- Robust state management to keep UI and data in sync, even on poor connections.
- Encrypted local storage, secure sessions, and GDPR/CCPA-ready consent flows.
Integrations with your existing stack
The app should extend your stack, not fight it. We typically integrate with:
- Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Magento, or custom headless APIs.
- ERP and PIM systems for inventory, pricing, and fulfillment.
- Marketing tools such as Klaviyo, Mailchimp, and push notification providers.
- Customer support tools like Intercom or Zendesk for in-app help.

How we work with your team
The goal is a clear, predictable process that busy founders and marketing leaders can follow without living in Jira.
- Discovery and strategy
We start with your model: who buys, what average order value and LTV you are aiming for, where revenue comes from today, and where it leaks. Together we define the first version of the app, success metrics, integrations, and realistic timelines.
- UX / UI design
We map key journeys such as onboarding, search, product detail, cart, checkout, and account. Our designers create wireframes and high-fidelity flows, usually in Figma, and iterate with you until the experience is simple, branded, and conversion-focused.
- Architecture and foundation
We set up the Flutter codebase, choose state management, connect to your APIs, and configure CI/CD. Decisions about caching, offline behavior, media, and security are made early so they are not painful later.
- Agile development sprints
We usually work in one to two week sprints. You get regular demo builds through TestFlight and the Play Console, short status updates, and a visible backlog so you always know what is in progress and what is next.
- Integrations, QA, and compliance
We wire in payment providers, analytics, marketing tools, and commerce platforms, then run structured QA across devices and network conditions. For regulated markets, we align with your legal or compliance team on consent and data handling.
- Launch and ongoing iteration
We help prepare app store listings, screenshots, and rollout strategy. After launch, we stay available for improvements, new features, and growth experiments so the app keeps getting better each month.
What you can order
- Flutter commerce MVP — Core browsing, cart, and checkout for iOS and Android, integrated with your existing ecommerce platform, suitable for validating mobile app ROI.
- Full-featured Flutter shopping app — End-to-end e-commerce app with advanced search, loyalty, subscriptions, push campaigns, and analytics set up for ongoing optimization.
- Flutter app + web store bundle — Combined engagement that aligns a new Flutter app with a refreshed web store, in collaboration with our e-commerce development team.
- Checkout and performance overhaul — Focused project to improve an existing Flutter app's speed, stability, and checkout conversion without a full rebuild.
- Ongoing growth and maintenance — Monthly engagement for feature sprints, CRO experiments, OS updates, and monitoring, often following the initial build.
How engagement usually looks
Exact scope changes from client to client, but most Flutter e-commerce projects fall into these ranges:
- MVP Flutter e-commerce app: around 8 to 12 weeks, focused on catalog, cart, and secure checkout.
- Full-featured app: around 12 to 20 weeks, including loyalty, subscriptions, richer search, and multiple integrations.
We usually start with a fixed-scope project for the first release, then move into a retainer or flexible sprints for improvements once the app is live and earning.

Proof it works in the real world
Marketplace for modern apparel
For a fashion marketplace, we built fast product discovery and a clean checkout that worked smoothly across devices. The result was a more consistent experience between web and mobile and fewer abandoned sessions at checkout.
B2B dropshipping and wholesale
We helped a wholesale and dropshipping platform streamline complex catalogs and pricing rules. Mobile buyers could reorder in a few taps, which reduced support overhead and manual order handling.
Vertical marketplace expansion
For a specialized marketplace in a niche segment, we aligned mobile UX with the existing platform and focused on clear flows for onboarding, product search, and secure ordering without overwhelming first-time users.
You can explore representative projects in our portfolio, or request examples relevant to your industry and business model.

Questions founders usually ask
What budgets do Flutter e-commerce apps typically require?
Most serious builds land in the same range as a high-quality ecommerce website. MVP apps are usually a smaller six-figure or high five-figure investment, while full-featured apps with complex integrations cost more. After a short call and a brief, we can give a realistic range before detailed scoping.
Can you connect the app to our existing Shopify, Magento, or custom backend?
Yes. We regularly integrate Flutter apps with Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Magento, and custom headless APIs. If your backend exposes stable APIs, we can usually work with it. If not, our backend team can help design the right interfaces.
How risky is it to add a mobile app if our web store is already live?
The app sits on top of your existing systems. We design and test against staging environments first, then roll out gradually to real users. We pay special attention to inventory, pricing, and order sync so you do not end up with double orders or inconsistent data.
Will we be able to maintain and extend the app internally later?
If you plan to build an in-house team, we structure the codebase, documentation, and CI/CD so other developers can step in. We also offer handover sessions and, if needed, can stay on as a senior partner while your team ramps up.
How do you measure whether the app is actually working?
Before we start, we agree on a small set of metrics: mobile conversion rate, time to checkout, AOV, retention, or subscription metrics, depending on your model. We set up analytics and events around those, and after launch we watch them together to decide what to improve next.
Can you help with marketing the app once it is live?
Yes. Our SEO and digital marketing team can support app store optimization, landing pages, and paid acquisition campaigns, or coordinate with your existing agencies so everything is aligned.
