Your store on your customers' home screens
Ecommerce Mobile App Development
Ecommerce mobile app development for stores that already sell online: an Android and iOS shopping app connected to your WooCommerce or Shopify store — same products, prices, stock, and orders — with push notifications, bKash and Nagad checkout, and store listing done, by the developer you talk to directly.
- Live sync with WooCommerce or Shopify
- Android and iOS from one Flutter codebase
- Push notifications, bKash, Nagad, cash on delivery
- Direct access to the developer
What this service is
What ecommerce mobile app development gives a store that a website cannot
A website is where new customers find you; an app is where repeat customers come back. An icon on the home screen, a push notification about a restock or an Eid offer, a saved address and payment method, and a checkout that takes three taps — that is what ecommerce mobile app development adds to a store that already works on the web. WebDesignerBD, founded by Selimuzzaman Afridi, builds these apps on top of the WooCommerce stores it has been building for Bangladeshi businesses for 3 years.
The app is not a second store to manage. It reads products, prices, stock, and orders from your existing WooCommerce or Shopify store through the platform's API — the WooCommerce REST API in most cases — so a change in the admin appears in the app immediately, and an order placed in the app lands in the same order list as the website's. Ecommerce mobile app development done any other way creates two catalogues and twice the work.
This page covers what the app includes, how the project runs, who it suits, what ecommerce mobile app development cost depends on, and what shopify app development means here. It is written by the person who does the work, and it starts with an honest question: does your store need an app yet, or would the money be better spent on the website first?

What's included
What our ecommerce mobile app development includes
Every app ships with the same core, connected to the store you already run. An ecommerce mobile app development company that builds a separate catalogue is selling you a second job.
Store sync through the API
Products, variations, categories, prices, stock, coupons, customers, and orders read from and written to your WooCommerce or Shopify store. No double entry, no app-only stock.
- WooCommerce REST or Shopify Storefront API
- Live stock and price updates
- Orders land in your existing order list
Shopping experience built for one thumb
Home, categories, search with filters, product pages with variations and reviews, wishlist, cart, and a checkout with saved addresses. Ecommerce mobile app development is judged on how few taps it takes to reorder.
- Search, filters, and category browsing
- Product variations, gallery, reviews
- Saved addresses and one-tap reorder
Local payments and delivery
bKash, Nagad, SSLCommerz, card gateways, and cash on delivery inside the app, with delivery zones and charges by district matching the website's rules.
- bKash, Nagad, and SSLCommerz in-app
- Cash on delivery with area rules
- Delivery charge and zone sync
Push notifications and offers
Order status updates, restock alerts, abandoned-cart reminders, and campaign pushes for offers — the reason an app outsells the mobile website for repeat customers. Sent from a dashboard you control.
- Order status and delivery pushes
- Offer and restock campaigns
- Abandoned-cart reminders
Accounts, login, and language
Phone-number or OTP login, Google sign-in, order history, and a Bangla or English interface — or both, switchable by the customer.
- Phone, OTP, and Google login
- Order history and tracking
- Bangla and English interface
Store listing, analytics, and handover
Play Store and App Store accounts set up, listings written, screenshots made, the app submitted and approved; analytics connected; the codebase and accounts handed over as yours. Ecommerce mobile app development ends with an app in the stores, not a build file on a drive.
- Play Store and App Store submission
- Analytics and crash reporting
- Source code and accounts owned by you
How it works
How an ecommerce mobile app development project runs
Scope decides the timeline of ecommerce mobile app development; you get a working build on your own phone at every stage — never a mockup you have to imagine.
- 1
Store review and scope
Is the store ready for an app — stable catalogue, working checkout, repeat customers? An honest answer, a feature list, and a fixed quote. Sometimes the advice is to fix the website first.
- 2
Design on a phone
Screens designed for the phones your customers actually use, reviewed as a clickable prototype in Bangla or English before any code is written.
- 3
Build and connect
The app is built in Flutter for Android and iOS from one codebase and connected to your live store's API. This is the core of ecommerce mobile app development: the sync has to be right before anything else.
- 4
Test with real orders
Test builds on your phone and your staff's phones; real orders, failed payments, refunds, and push notifications tested end to end.
- 5
Launch and handover
Store listings submitted and approved, analytics live, source code and accounts handed over. The developer stays on WhatsApp for updates and new features.
Who this is for
Who ecommerce mobile app development is for
Not every store needs an app. These are the stores where it pays for itself.
Stores with repeat customers
Grocery, cosmetics, baby products, pet supplies, pharmacy — anything bought again and again. Reorder in three taps beats finding the website every time.
Fashion and lifestyle brands with a following
Push a new collection to everyone who installed the app. Social reach goes up and down; a push notification reaches every phone.
WooCommerce stores with steady mobile traffic
If most orders already come from phones, an app raises order frequency and basket size for the customers you already have — the clearest case for ecommerce mobile app development.
Shopify stores selling in Bangladesh
A branded app on top of a Shopify store, with bKash and Nagad that the Shopify checkout does not offer natively.
Multi-outlet and delivery businesses
Restaurants, groceries, and pharmacies with delivery slots and areas — ecommerce mobile app development with live order tracking and rider updates.
Marketplace sellers building their own brand
Daraz owns the customer there; your app owns the customer here, with their history and their notifications.
Shopify
Shopify app development: two different things, both done here
“Shopify app development” means two things, and it is worth being clear which one you need. The first is a mobile shopping app for your Shopify store — a branded Android and iOS app that reads your Shopify catalogue and orders, which is the same ecommerce mobile app development described on this page using Shopify's Storefront API instead of WooCommerce's.
The second is a custom app inside Shopify itself — an admin extension that adds a feature your store needs, such as a local delivery-charge rule, a bKash or Nagad payment flow, or an integration with a Bangladeshi courier. Both are scoped and quoted separately, and both are built by the same developer, so a Shopify store can get its mobile app and its admin customisation from one place instead of two.
Mobile app for a Shopify store
Branded Android and iOS app on the Storefront API, with local payments added.
Custom Shopify admin app
Delivery rules, payment flows, courier and ERP integrations built as a private app.
WooCommerce equivalent
The same mobile app on the WooCommerce REST API — the more common request in Bangladesh.
Cost
Ecommerce app development cost: what moves the number
Ecommerce mobile app development cost depends on four things: how many features beyond the core (loyalty points, live tracking, multi-vendor, subscriptions), how many payment and courier integrations, whether the store's API is clean or needs work first, and how much design is custom versus based on proven patterns. An Android-only build costs less than Android plus iOS, though Flutter keeps the difference small.
The pricing page publishes a starting price so you can budget before you call. Every quote from this ecommerce mobile app development company is fixed and in writing; a scope change is priced before it is built, never discovered on the invoice. Ongoing costs — store accounts, the push notification service, updates for new OS versions — are listed up front too.
Core app
Catalogue, cart, checkout, local payments, push, accounts — Android and iOS.
Growth features
Loyalty, live tracking, referrals, wallet, multi-language, advanced search.
Custom
Multi-vendor, subscriptions, ERP or POS sync, rider app — scoped separately.
Why WebDesignerBD
Why choose this ecommerce mobile app development company
An app is only as good as the store behind it. Ecommerce mobile app development from the developer who builds WooCommerce stores means the sync, the checkout, and the catalogue are understood from both sides.
Builds the store and the app
gonjo.com.bd is a WooCommerce store built here — the kind of catalogue these apps sit on top of. No hand-off between a web vendor and an app vendor.
Direct access to the developer
Your questions go to Selimuzzaman Afridi, who is building the app — not to an account manager.
Built for Bangladeshi checkout
bKash and Nagad first, cash on delivery handled properly, district-based delivery — ecommerce mobile app development that matches how customers here actually pay.
One codebase, two platforms
Flutter builds Android and iOS from the same code, which keeps the cost and the update burden down.
Honest scoping
If your store is not ready for an app, you are told so. An app on a weak store is money spent in the wrong order.
Remote across Bangladesh, in person in Jhikargacha
App builds run over WhatsApp, test builds, and video calls from anywhere in the country; around Jashore, we meet in person.
Real work
The store an ecommerce mobile app development project sits on top of
A live WooCommerce catalogue built here — products, variations, cart, and a Bangla WhatsApp order line. An app extends exactly this kind of store.

Ecommerce SEOFAQ
Ecommerce mobile app development: questions store owners ask
Honest answers, including the one about whether you need an app at all.
01Do I actually need an app, or is a mobile website enough?
If most of your customers buy once, a fast mobile website is enough and cheaper. If they buy repeatedly — groceries, cosmetics, fashion drops — an app raises order frequency through push notifications and one-tap reorder. Ecommerce mobile app development is worth it for the second group, and we will tell you which one you are.
02What does ecommerce app development cost in Bangladesh?
It depends on features, integrations, and whether the store's API is ready. The pricing page publishes a starting price, and every quote is fixed and in writing.
03Will the app work with my existing WooCommerce store?
Yes — that is the standard build. The app reads and writes through the WooCommerce REST API, so products, stock, and orders stay in one place.
04Can you do shopify app development?
Yes, both kinds: a branded mobile app for a Shopify store on the Storefront API, and custom private apps inside Shopify for delivery rules, local payments, or courier integrations.
05Android only, or iOS too?
Both, from one Flutter codebase. Android is where most Bangladeshi customers are, so Android-first launches are common, with iOS following — ecommerce mobile app development here is scoped either way.
06How long does it take?
Scope decides it: a core app on a clean store is faster than one with loyalty, tracking, and multi-vendor features. You get a realistic timeline with the fixed quote and a working test build early.
07Who owns the app and the store accounts?
You do. Source code, Play Store and App Store accounts, and push notification services are set up in your name and handed over.
08What is the difference between this and a WebView app?
A WebView app wraps your existing website in an app shell — fast and cheap, but it is still the website. Ecommerce mobile app development builds native screens on the store's API: faster browsing, offline cart, richer push, and a checkout designed for the app. Start with WebView if budget is tight; upgrade later.
Ecommerce mobile app development should be judged on three things: does the app sync with the store you already run, does checkout work the way Bangladeshi customers pay, and will you talk to the person building it? Here the answers are yes, yes, and yes — message us with your store URL and get an honest answer on whether an app is the right next step.
