How to Convert a Salesforce Commerce Cloud Site to Mobile Apps | MobiLoud (original) (raw)

Salesforce Commerce Cloud powers more than 12,000 ecommerce websites around the world, and is among the top ten most popular platforms for high-revenue, high-traffic ecommerce sites.

With more and more people everyday shopping on mobile, there’s never been a better time to launch an app as a companion to your Salesforce store. Keep reading to learn how to convert your site to an app with minimal expense and no restrictions, in as little as two weeks.

What You Need to Know To Build a Salesforce Commerce Cloud Mobile App

Salesforce Commerce Cloud is a powerful platform to build an ecommerce site. It gives you amazing websites out of the box, but mobile apps are a different story.

Salesforce offers headless APIs that bridge the gap between app and website, but you’ll still need extensive development.

Today, a mobile app is quickly becoming as much of a necessity as a website. You need a self-contained, mobile-first vehicle for the growing share of your customers who prefer to use an app.

To build iOS and Android apps for your Salesforce Commerce Cloud store you have three options: hire in-house developers to code custom native apps; use a DIY, no-code app builder; or simply convert your web store into an app using MobiLoud.

Why MobiLoud is the Best Way to Build Mobile Apps for Salesforce Commerce Cloud Sites

Developing fully custom native apps takes a long time, a huge investment, and takes significant work to manage. App builders are inflexible, locking you in to run of the mill templates, and also add more work to maintain.

MobiLoud is an ideal alternative.

"If we had unlimited time and money, we would probably go for a custom native app, but that is half a million to a million a year to maintain."

- David Cost from Rainbow Shops

MobiLoud is a fraction of the cost, time investment, effort and overhead of native app development, and is more flexible and easier to manage than an app builder.

It doesn’t lock you into one platform, there’s no rebuilding, and there’s minimal work to maintain.

MobiLoud lets you keep all the features from your Salesforce Commerce Cloud website and launch an app in less than two weeks, for as little as $350 per month.
