Online retail has progressed well beyond the desktop experience. Most shoppers today browse and shop using mobile apps because they provide convenience and personalisation with a simple tap. For store owners, this shift from desktop shopping to mobile apps creates both an opportunity and a challenge. How to deliver an app experience without complicated development and costs is the biggest challenge.<\/span><\/p>\n

To fill that void for the e-commerce market, Knowband has developed the PrestaShop Mobile App Builder Module<\/a> and the OpenCart Mobile App Builder Extension, two out-of-the-box solutions that can convert an existing store into fully functioning e-commerce Mobile Apps on Android and iOS. These modules give great app performance, customisation, and easy implementation to every merchant without the use of any code.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Businesses Are Choosing Knowband\u2019s Mobile App Builders<\/b><\/h2>\n

The PrestaShop Mobile App and OpenCart Mobile App Builder Addon provide merchants with an easy way to enter the mobile market.<\/span><\/p>\n

First, they reduce development time dramatically. Instead of spending time or money to hire a team or waiting for months for developers to complete work, merchants can publish a professional Android and iOS app in a very short period of time. Both App Builders are also connected to the online store and automatically sync with it, so whenever an update happens (whether it be for a product, price, or stock), it is instantly updated in the mobile app with no extra effort from the merchant in the back office.<\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, apps remain installed on users\u2019 devices, which keeps the brand in the forefront of their minds, even when they are not shopping. You can also send push notifications at any time and send offers, product alerts, and order updates, which encourages users to engage in the app and make their next purchase.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lastly, and possibly the best part, is that the modules offer complete design freedom. Store owners can design home screens that match their store, change banners in the app, update categories, or completely redesign layouts at any time and at any point in the future. With both the PrestaShop and OpenCart Mobile App Builder Plugin, there is absolute control over creative designs, and the best part is that it requires zero code.<\/span><\/p>\n

Key Features of the PrestaShop and OpenCart Mobile App Builder<\/a><\/b><\/h2>\n

\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

The Prestashop Android and iOS Mobile App Builder Plugin for both platforms has smart features that make running an app as simple as running a store.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Real-time synchronization\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

Everything you edit in your store, adding a product, changing price, and updating inventory, gets synced immediately with the app. It saves time and keeps the store and app in sync.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Flexibility and customisation\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

The Prestashop Mobile App Maker Addon offers store owners a simple way to customise app layouts. The merchant can build the home screen of the app, using banners, sliders, product grids, and promotion blocks. You can adjust colors, fonts, and icons as needed to find the right fit for the store branding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Easy login options<\/b><\/h3>\n

Both modules provide an easy one-click login option with Google, Facebook, Fingerprint, and OTP verification. Hence, faster access leads to an improved checkout flow and would bring customers back again and again.<\/span><\/p>\n

Support for Multiple Languages and Currency<\/b><\/h3>\n

The PrestaShop Android and iOS Mobile App Creator Addon<\/a> and the OpenCart Android and iOS Mobile App Creator Plugin support multiple languages and currencies, enabling businesses to communicate with an international audience with ease.<\/span><\/p>\n

GDPR and AdMob<\/b><\/h3>\n

Both modules are compliant with GDPR. Hence, they allow merchants to link consent to CMS pages for privacy. They also have AdMob support for the store owner to display ads and generate revenue right from the app user interface.<\/span><\/p>\n

How the Knowband OpenCart Mobile App Builder Works<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

General Settings<\/b><\/h3>\n

The process begins with the General Settings section. Here, the admin can turn on or off the entire module with one click. Moreover, the admin can customize button designs or text labels, or turn on features like WhatsApp chat, fingerprint login, or phone number registration. Anything you change here will show up in the app instantly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Homepage Design<\/b><\/h3>\n

The next stage configures the look and feel of the front end. Using a drag-and-drop feature, merchants can design layouts using banners, sliders, a countdown timer, or featured today categories. Both modules offer pre-built templates for specific industries such as fashion, electronics, or grocery, and are customizable at any time for a new season or a festival.<\/span><\/p>\n

Push Notifications<\/b><\/h3>\n

Store owners can send automatic notifications using Firebase integration for new orders, order status changes, or abandoned carts. Moreover, store owners can also create custom messages with links and images to ensure customers stay engaged, and merchants stay connected to their customers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Payment and Shipping Configurations\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

The OpenCart Mobile App Builder Addon automatically syncs payment and shipping methods from their respective stores. The store owners can add and disable them if necessary and keep a consistent checkout experience on both mobile applications.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

GDPR and Ads Configurations.\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

Finally, the admin can enable GDPR compliance by adding the consent options to any of the privacy pages. They can also turn on AdMob to integrate ads at any screen they want, such as the home screen, product pages, etc, to monetize the store.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Together, these sections make these modules easy to configure and use, so that any store can go mobile in hours instead of weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n
