React Native E-commerce Mobile App Development Services

1) Integration of a secure payment gateway

We use tokenization, 3DS2, and native wallets to make one-tap checkout possible with PCI-aware flows. Our stack usually includes Stripe React Native, Braintree, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.

• Guest and one-tap checkout with Apple Pay or Google Pay
• Saved cards in vaults that meet PCI standards
• 3D Secure (SCA) and checking for fraud
• Buy now, pay later options (like Klarna and Affirm) if you need them

2) Cart and Checkout UX that Works

Make things easier by using smart defaults, address autocomplete, real-time shipping and tax estimates, and clear progress indicators. We worry a lot about latency, where buttons are, and error states to keep users going.

3) Catalog, Search, and Filters

Big catalogs need careful data modeling. We use background prefetching, image CDN optimization, and infinite scrolling. We support Algolia or Meilisearch for fast, relevant search that can handle typos and synonyms.

4) Finding and customizing products

Create dynamic home screens with seasonal collections, bundles, and AI-powered suggestions. Add upsells, cross-sells, and related items to PDP and cart moments to raise AOV.

5) Analytics and Growth Loops

We connect server-side events to Mixpanel, Amplitude, or Firebase Analytics to get accurate funnels. Keep an eye on the add-to-cart rate, the checkout completion rate, the LTV, the cohort retention rate, and the cart abandonment rate, and then use what you learn to make changes.

6) Notifications, CRM, and Lifecycle Automation

You can use personalized push notifications, in-app messages, and email/SMS integrations (Klaviyo, Braze, Customer.io) to get people to come back to their carts and buy again. Don't just look at demographics; look at how people act.

7) Performance, Offline, and Reliability

Offline-first carts, retries that work on flaky networks, and background sync all make sure that experiences are reliable. We make the bundle size as small as possible, use the Hermes engine, and load images and modules only when needed.

8) Security and Compliance

We use secure storage, SSL pinning when needed, rate limiting, and protection against bots. Apps are made to follow PCI DSS, GDPR/CCPA, and store rules.

9) Globalization

Multi-currency, multi-language, right-to-left support, and tax and shipping logic that is specific to each country for real international scale.

Our process

Our process is meant to make decisions less risky and get features ready to ship on time.

1. Discovery and Architecture (1–2 weeks)

   We make business goals, KPIs, and limits clear. We then plan out how data will move, how platforms will work together, and what kind of architecture will work best. For example, we might use Shopify/WooCommerce connectors or headless commerce with a Laravel/Node backend and Next.js admin.

2. UX/UI Sprints (1–3 weeks)

   Clickable prototypes, user flows for PDP → Cart → Checkout, and edge cases (discounts, bundles, OOS). We check our work with quick feedback loops so you can see it before we make it.

3. Build and Connect (4–8 weeks)

   TypeScript, React Query, and a state layer (Zustand/Redux) help keep things in order with React Native and Expo. We use automated tests and CI/CD to connect payments, catalog APIs, analytics, and shipping and tax services.

4. Hardening and QA (1–2 weeks)

   Performance tests on real devices, a security review, and reliability testing at checkout. We use EAS to stage releases, TestFlight for internal testing, and we fix any problems that come up.

5. Start, ASO, and Training

   Submissions to the App Store and Play Store, ASO optimization (keywords, screenshots), and training staff to make promo banners, content, and offers.

6. Growth and optimization

   After the launch, we do A/B tests, experiments, and feature iterations using real data. Updates over the air speed up improvements without having to wait for app store reviews.

A typical timeline is 8 to 14 weeks from the start to the launch, depending on the scope and integrations. We meet you where you are—no need to rip and replace systems that already work. Explore our wider services or send us your current architecture for a quick read. The examples below show what usually happens with builds like these.

Pricing & engagement

We charge for results, not for hours worked. The price range for most React Native e-commerce apps is between $35,000 and $120,000, depending on how complicated they are, what integrations they have, and what custom features they have. Lighter MVPs and pilot launches can be planned more carefully to get to market faster. You will work with senior engineers and designers who care about more than just code.

Common questions

Can React Native handle big product catalogs?

Yes. We support catalogs with tens of thousands of SKUs by using server-side pagination, incremental loading, image CDNs, and cached queries (React Query). Algolia or Meilisearch gives you results in less than a second for searching and filtering. We also make list virtualization, lazy image loading, and background prefetching work better so that scrolling is always smooth.

How long does it take to ship an app for production?

Most e-commerce apps are ready to go in 8 to 14 weeks, depending on how complicated they are, how much custom UI they need, and how many integrations they need. If your backend is ready and the flows are simple, we can speed up a lean MVP in six to eight weeks.

How much does it cost?

Most projects cost between $35,000 and $120,000. Some of the things that matter are the size of the catalog, the payment options, the ability to add custom components, localization, and loyalty or subscription programs. After a quick discovery, we'll give you a fixed or milestone-based estimate.

Will the app really feel like it's part of the system?

Yes. We use native navigation, gestures, and UI polish that is specific to each platform when it matters. We can connect native modules when we need to for features that are important for performance, like the camera, AR, or complicated maps.

Can we use some of the parts of our web stack again?

A lot. Headless commerce setups let us use the same APIs and business logic on both web and mobile. We often work with the Shopify Storefront API, WooCommerce REST, or custom Laravel/Node endpoints.

How do we keep track of data and protect your privacy?

We set up event schemas that are in line with your KPIs and follow consent flows. With strict handling of PII and opt-in controls, data can flow through Segment to your warehouse and tools like Amplitude or Mixpanel.

What about getting apps approved and ASO?

We take care of submissions, respond to review feedback, and make sure that listings are optimized for keywords, screenshots, and localization. After launch, we A/B test creative to get more people to buy.

Can you move from an app you already have?

Yes. We switched from old native or hybrid codebases to React Native + Expo to make changes faster and with less upkeep. We'll plan a phased rollout so that customers aren't bothered.
