A shopping app for your store, without a native project
The same catalog, cart and checkout, installed on a phone. No app-store rebuild every time you change a price.
Why most small shops should not commission a native app
A native app is a second codebase and a second release cycle. Every price change, every new product, every seasonal banner has to survive review. For a shop with a few hundred products, that cost never pays for itself.
Same store, installed
Shoppi shops are installable: a shopper adds the store to their home screen and gets a full-screen app with your branding, your catalog and your checkout — served from the site you already maintain.
Push-style reach without an app store
Your customer list, campaigns and abandoned-cart follow-ups run from the same dashboard as the shop, so the app surface does not need its own marketing stack.

FAQ
Is this a real app or a website?
It is your shop, installable to the home screen and running full screen. For a shop, that is functionally what customers expect from an app, without the release cycle.
Does it cost extra?
No. It is part of the same plan as the shopping website.
Can I still list on the app stores later?
Yes. Nothing here prevents a native wrapper later; the catalog and checkout stay the same.
