Overview

BeyondCart is a Shopify app that turns your online store into a fully native mobile app for iOS and Android. Rather than building a mobile app from scratch, BeyondCart gives Shopify merchants a professionally designed, high-performance app — complete with push notifications, gamification, advanced analytics, and automation flows — all managed from within your Shopify admin.

Mobile commerce accounts for a growing share of e-commerce revenue, and customers who shop through a dedicated app tend to spend more, return more often, and convert at higher rates. BeyondCart is designed to help you capture that opportunity without hiring a development team.

Who Is BeyondCart For?

BeyondCart is built for Shopify merchants who want to:

Increase mobile revenue by giving customers a fast, native shopping experience
Build a direct relationship with shoppers through push notifications instead of relying solely on email and ads
Boost repeat purchases with gamification features like spin-the-wheel, scratch cards, and loyalty programs
Understand customer behavior through detailed mobile analytics and session tracking
Automate engagement with flows that trigger actions based on customer events

Whether you're running a growing DTC brand or a large-scale Shopify Plus store, BeyondCart scales to meet your needs.

Key Features

Native Mobile App

Your app is built natively for both iOS and Android, providing a fast, smooth shopping experience that outperforms mobile web. A dedicated designer customizes the app to match your brand identity.

Push Notifications

Reach your customers directly on their lock screens. Send targeted push campaigns, automate messages based on behavior (abandoned cart, price drops, back-in-stock), and track delivery and click-through rates in real time.

Gamification

Engage shoppers with interactive experiences like spin-the-wheel, scratch cards, and other reward-based games. These drive higher session times and encourage purchases.

Analytics Dashboard

Track app revenue, order share, average order value, conversion rates, session data, and more. Compare your app performance against your mobile web to see the impact BeyondCart is making.

Flows and Automation

Create automated workflows that respond to customer actions. Trigger push notifications, show in-app messages, or apply discounts based on events like cart abandonment, first purchase, or inactivity.

Segments and Campaigns

Group your customers into segments based on behavior, purchase history, or engagement level. Then target those segments with personalized push campaigns for maximum relevance.

Content Management

Manage your app's look and feel directly from the admin. Customize navigation, create landing pages, curate collections, and organize your media library — all without touching code.

How It Works

Getting started with BeyondCart follows a straightforward path:

Install the app from the Shopify App Store
Choose a plan that fits your business (with a 1-month free trial)
Share your preferences with our onboarding team
A designer builds your app — custom-branded and ready for the app stores
We handle submission to Apple's App Store and Google Play on your behalf
Manage everything from the BeyondCart admin embedded in your Shopify dashboard

Once your app is live, you'll use the BeyondCart admin to run campaigns, analyze performance, and continuously optimize your mobile channel.

Tips and Best Practices

Start exploring the admin early. Even before your app is live, you can familiarize yourself with the dashboard, set up collections, and plan your first push campaign.
Think of your app as a retention channel. The biggest wins come from repeat customers who install your app and opt in to push notifications.
Leverage automation. Set up flows for abandoned cart recovery and welcome sequences before launch so they're working from day one.
