Mobile commerce has already become the standard in e-commerce. Customers increasingly place orders through smartphones, expecting a fast interface, convenient navigation, and a shopping experience similar to large marketplaces. For entrepreneurs, this means one thing: having a mobile application is no longer a luxury — it is becoming a necessity.
However, developing an application from scratch is a long and expensive process. It requires a team of developers, designers, testing, publication in app stores, and ongoing maintenance. For most companies, this means months of work and significant investment.
An alternative is a ready-made mobile application that allows you to launch your own mobile store within just a few weeks.
What a Ready-Made Mobile Application Is
A ready-made solution is a fully functional mobile application for online stores, cafés, or restaurants that works with PrestaShop as the backend system.
This means that the following elements are already managed through the familiar PrestaShop admin panel:
-
product catalog
-
categories
-
orders
-
customers
-
promotions and discounts
The application automatically synchronizes with the store and displays all data in the mobile interface.
As a result, a business gets a fully functional mobile application without the need to build one from scratch.
Fast Launch of a Mobile Store
One of the main advantages of a ready-made solution is the speed of deployment.
Building a mobile application in the traditional way can take several months or even up to a year. With a ready platform, the launch can be completed in just a few weeks.
During this time the following steps are performed:
-
connecting the application to your store
-
configuring the interface
-
testing
-
publishing in app stores
After that, the application becomes available to users.
Publishing in App Store and Google Play
For many entrepreneurs, publishing an application in official app stores can be a complicated stage.
A ready platform simplifies this process.
The application can be published:
-
on our developer accounts in the App Store and Google Play
-
or on the client’s own accounts
This allows business owners to focus on sales instead of technical details related to publishing.
The application can also be published in other app stores such as RuStore.
Flexible Business Models
Businesses can choose between two main ways of using the application.
SaaS Model (Subscription)
In this case, the application is provided through a monthly subscription.
The subscription includes:
-
technical support
-
application updates
-
maintenance of the backend infrastructure
-
bug fixes
Essentially, entrepreneurs receive a ready-to-use infrastructure where all technical responsibilities remain on the developer’s side.
The business owner only needs to manage the store and focus on sales.
Full Purchase of the Application
For companies that want full ownership of the product, a complete buyout option is available.
After purchase:
-
the application is published on the client’s own accounts
-
technical support can be continued or discontinued depending on the client’s decision
This option provides full independence and control over the product.

Interface Familiar to Marketplace Users
Modern customers are used to the interfaces of large online marketplaces. Simple navigation, fast search, a convenient cart, and a clear checkout process directly influence conversion rates.
For this reason, the application interface is designed according to the principles used by major marketplaces.
This provides several advantages:
-
users quickly understand how the app works
-
the likelihood of completing a purchase increases
-
checkout time becomes shorter
-
overall user experience improves
The more familiar the interface feels to customers, the higher the probability of repeat purchases.
What Types of Businesses Can Use This Solution
A ready-made mobile application is suitable for many types of businesses.
Online stores
Especially those already using PrestaShop.
Cafés and restaurants
Allows customers to order food and delivery directly through the app.
Local retail stores
A mobile application becomes an additional sales channel.
Brands and manufacturers
Provides the ability to sell directly to customers without intermediaries.
Why Businesses Should Launch a Mobile Application
Having your own mobile application gives a business several strategic advantages:
-
a direct communication channel with customers
-
increased customer loyalty
-
higher repeat sales
-
independence from third-party marketplaces
-
the ability to send push notifications
In practice, the app becomes a full-fledged sales platform located directly on the customer’s smartphone.
Launching your own mobile application no longer requires long development cycles or large budgets. A ready-made solution based on PrestaShop allows entrepreneurs to quickly enter the mobile commerce market and start selling through mobile apps.
