Mobile-First Apps
summary
Shopify builds a full native app called mobile Shopify (launched Sept 2016) that doubles monthly usage and sees 63,000 shops access partner apps on mobile web (tripled since last Unite); mobile is now the fastest‑growing merchant interface and half of merchants manage stores from phones monthly. Features include Home, Orders, Products, Store tabs, sign‑up in‑app, barcode scanning, push notifications, in‑app App Store and app links that open apps in a custom web wrapper via the embedded app SDK. Partners can use the Polaris design system and test on partner dev shops before the summer launch.
