A. Design App
1. User Greeting Text
This is the field that allows you to add a greeting text for your customers/visitors when they open your mobile eCommerce shopping app. The greeting text serves as a friendly welcome note that helps create a positive first impression on your visitors or customers. By displaying greeting text, you can engage visitors, make them feel valued, and ultimately enhance their overall shopping experience.
2. Banners
This is the field that allows you to add banners to your mobile shopping app. These banners can be used for multiple purposes for sales promotion activities like advertisement of new arrivals, highlighting discounts, store events, or conveying important information. These banners grab your visitors’ attention and encourage them to explore the site further, ultimately driving engagement and conversions by directing customers to specific products or promotions.
3. Brand Images
This is the field from where you can add the images of the brands whose products you sell. You can choose to add brands’ logos, product images, or other graphics.

This field allows you to add the search box on your home page from where your customers can search for what they are looking for. You can customize the text of the search box (text inside the search box).
5. Products
This field allows you to showcase your products. You can use this field to promote your best-sellers, new arrivals, products with heavy discounts, etc. You can also choose to show them in a grid form or a slider form. By displaying your products on your homepage, you can immediately grab your visitor’s attention and create a strong first impression, encouraging them to explore more products.
Additionally, featuring seasonal or promotional products on the homepage can drive sales and capitalize on current trends. Overall, strategically showcasing products on the homepage can improve UX and engagement and ultimately lead to higher sales and revenue for your business.
6. Collections
This field allows you to showcase your store collections. Showcasing specific collections on your app’s homepage is a strategic way to engage visitors and promote featured products or categories. By highlighting curated collections, you can capture the attention of your target audience, offer a glimpse of your product range, and guide potential customers toward items that match their interests.
This approach helps improve UX, drives conversions, and increases the chances of visitors finding products that resonate with their needs and preferences, ultimately boosting sales and customer satisfaction.
7. Collection Products
This field allows you to highlight products from a collection on your home page. By adding this section, the app will fetch your product description and display it on the homepage to attract visitors. This not only helps promote specific products but also enhances user navigation, driving more engagement and potential conversions directly from your homepage.
8. Text
Apart from your logo, if you want to add your brand tagline or any other creative text on your homepage to accompany attractive visuals with tempting text, it can be done from this field. Incorporating a compelling tagline on your website’s homepage is crucial for grabbing visitors’ attention and conveying your brand’s message succinctly.
A well-crafted tagline should encapsulate the essence of your business and what sets it apart. It should be clear, concise, and memorable, instantly conveying the value you offer to potential customers. By prominently showcasing this tagline on your homepage, you can make a strong first impression and help visitors quickly understand what your website or business is all about, encouraging them to explore further.
9. Countdown Timer
If you have any ongoing sales on your website that will be ending shortly, then alerting your customers or visitors with a countdown timer can benefit you greatly. Displaying a countdown timer on your website’s homepage can create a sense of urgency and encourage visitor engagement.
It is a versatile tool for promoting limited-time offers, product launches, or events, enticing users to take action quickly. By highlighting time-sensitive opportunities, a countdown timer can increase conversions and drive interest in your website’s key offerings.
B. Push Notifications
If you want to send push notifications to your visitors every time they open your mobile app, then this mobile app builder allows you to do that, too. Using push notifications in your mobile shopping app allows you to engage customers effectively. Whenever they visit your app, you can send targeted messages, promotions, and updates, enhancing UX and driving sales.
Sending push notifications to your customers is a real-time communication strategy that keeps customers informed and encourages them to stay connected with your brand, increasing their loyalty and retention. With this app, you can create multiple push notifications and also configure them.
C. Product Review
This is the field that keeps track of all your customer reviews posted on your products. The review log includes product ID, product name, ratings the customer has given, customer’s name, review status, and other action options.
