Warum ist eine Shopping App für D2C Brands besser als ein mobiler Webshop?

Eine Shopping App bietet im Vergleich zum mobilen Webshop bis zu 3-mal höhere Conversion-Rates und eine deutlich stärkere Kundenbindung. Durch Features wie Push-Nachrichten, Personalisierung und Store-Verknüpfungen erreichen Brands eine höhere Retention und senken die Abhängigkeit von teuren Ad-Plattformen.

Wie lange dauert der Launch einer D2C Shopping App mit Shopgate?

Mit der Shopgate App-Plattform können D2C Brands innerhalb von 4-12 Wochen (je nach Anforderungen und Komplexität der Integrationen) live gehen. Da die Lösung auf einem modularen App-Builder basiert, entfällt der hohe Zeit- und Kostenaufwand einer kompletten Eigenentwicklung, ohne bei Design und CI Kompromisse einzugehen.

Welche Shopsysteme unterstützt Shopgate für D2C Apps?

Shopgate bietet nahtlose Integrationen für führende Shopsysteme wie Shopify, Shopware, Adobe Commerce (Magento). Dadurch werden Produktdaten, Bestände und Bestellungen in Echtzeit zwischen dem Onlineshop und der App synchronisiert. Darüber hinaus sind Anbindungen via API möglich..
