The difference

Template app or your own app?

Template apps are quick to set up – which is why they often look alike. Your own app is built around your brand, not the other way round.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I own the app?

The app is published under your name and via your own developer account – your brand appears in the store. Details on code rights are set out transparently in the quote.

Do I need Apple and Google developer accounts?

Yes – for the app to appear under your name you need your own account with each (Apple 99 USD per year, Google 25 USD one-time; companies need a free D-U-N-S number for Apple). We help you set them up step by step.

Will checkout work with my payment methods?

Yes. Payment runs through Shopify checkout, so the payment methods you’ve enabled in Shopify are available, such as Apple Pay or Google Pay.

How long does development take?

Development itself takes about 2 weeks. Including concept & design, testing, submission and review by Apple and Google, we plan around 5 weeks in total until release on the App Store and Google Play. Review times at Apple and Google are outside our control.

What costs come on top of the packages?

Apple Developer Program: 99 USD per year (Apple). Google Play Console: 25 USD one-time (Google). Both accounts are in your name. Apple and Google take no commission on your product sales, because physical products are sold via Shopify checkout – their fees only apply to digital content / in-app purchases. Care, updates and hosting are offered as a monthly package, priced in the first call. As of 2026; provider fees may change.

Can I change content myself?

Yes. You manage products, prices, collections and discounts in Shopify as usual – the app picks up changes automatically. Which other areas you can edit yourself is defined in the concept.

Which stores benefit from their own app?

Especially for brands with repeat customers, regular drops or an active community. Whether it pays off for you is something we discuss honestly in the first call.

What if Apple rejects the app?

Then we handle the revisions and resubmit – until approval, within the scope of your package.
