FAQ

How does a shopping app improve the search for complex spare parts?

In the automotive industry, the misorder rate is often high. A shopping app enables the integration of native vehicle filters and parts finders that respond significantly faster and more precisely than mobile websites. With two clicks, customers find the exact right part for their vehicle.

Why do DIY and tech apps convert better than webshops?

Technical purchases require trust and information. The app delivers a superior presentation of technical data sheets and assembly instructions. Combined with stored payment data and lightning-fast load times, we remove purchase hurdles — which in practice leads to higher conversion rates, larger carts and better retention.

Does Shopgate offer features for craftsmen and workshop professionals?

Yes. With features such as Scan-to-Shop, professionals can scan barcodes of tools or consumables right in the warehouse and reorder instantly. This makes the app an indispensable tool in everyday work and secures your position as their go-to supplier.

Which shop systems does Shopgate support?

Shopgate offers seamless integrations for leading shop systems like Shopify, Shopware, Adobe Commerce (Magento). This synchronizes product data, inventory and orders in real time between the online shop and the app. In addition, connections via API are possible.
