What Should You Consider When Choosing a Mobile App Development Company for eCommerce?

[Vihan Richard]

Hi everyone,

If you're planning to get custom apps developed for your online business, choosing the right mobile app development company is crucial—especially for projects involving eCommerce app development.

At Webkul, we’ve worked with a wide range of businesses to build scalable, user-friendly apps that integrate seamlessly with backend systems like Magento, Shopify, WooCommerce, and even custom ERPs. Whether you're building a marketplace, B2B ordering app, or a mobile storefront, it's important to look for:

🔹 API-driven architecture for real-time data sync
🔹 Secure authentication and payment workflows
🔹 Offline mode and push notification support
🔹 Cross-platform frameworks like Flutter or React Native

Has anyone here worked on a custom eCommerce app recently? What challenges or tech stack choices made the biggest impact?

Let’s discuss.

From my 10+ years in the software development industry, one major consideration is how well the agency understands not just mobile tech, but the eCommerce domain itself because building a fast-loading app is one thing, but syncing it with live inventory, handling order logic, multi-currency setups or integrating with CRMs like HubSpot or Zoho is a different game.

At Impero IT Services, we recently helped a UAE-based luxury fashion retailer transition from a sluggish WooCommerce site to a robust Flutter-based mobile app connected via custom APIs. The client needed real-time stock updates across physical stores, flash sale handling, and a smooth loyalty rewards engine built from scratch. We used Firebase for push notifications and offline cart support and implemented Stripe and Razorpay for multi-gateway integration depending on user location.

What made the biggest difference?

• Custom API architecture with caching to reduce server load.

• Focus on UI/UX tailored for mobile shopping behavior—swipe-based browsing, wishlist toggles, and one-click reordering.

• A modular codebase that allowed future integration with POS systems.
