A real native app, not a browser wrapped in chrome
Appolar compiles a real iOS and Android app and submits it to the App Store and Play Store. Product grids, cart, search, and navigation are all native code, not a browser loading your web store. Checkout hands off to Shopify's hosted checkout, the same one your customers already trust.
Why Appolar?
Your app, your listing
Submitted to your Apple Developer and Google Play accounts. Your bundle ID, your store listing, your reviews. Uninstall Appolar and the binaries stay live.
Builder lives inside Shopify admin
Edit every color, font, and per-screen layout without leaving your admin. A live phone preview updates in real time so you see exactly what ships.
Shopify checkout your shoppers already trust
Cart, addresses, and discount codes hand off to Shopify's hosted checkout. Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay work out of the box — no extra setup.
Catalog that stays in sync
Products, variants, inventory, and prices stream directly from the Shopify Storefront API. Edit once in Shopify — the app reflects it instantly.
Push and in-app campaigns
Recover abandoned carts, re-engage lapsed buyers, and promote launches. Compose and schedule pushes directly from your Shopify admin.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. Appolar gives you a real native iOS and Android app powered by your Shopify catalog, with builder, push, and checkout in one place — so you can retire Tapcart, Vajro, GoodBarber, or any patchwork of tools.
- The Appolar Builder lives in your Shopify admin. You can edit colors, fonts, per-screen layouts, push campaigns, and analytics from any device — phone, tablet, or laptop.
- The builder includes product reviews and analytics pixel configuration on paid plans. Beyond that, anything that lives in your Shopify checkout or backend keeps working, because the app hands off to your real Shopify Checkout rather than reimplementing it.
- Payments hand off to Shopify Checkout, so you keep your existing payment gateway and PCI compliance. Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay are supported in the native app.
- Yes — always. We submit on your behalf, but the listings, reviews, install graph, and revenue all live on your accounts. You can revoke our access at any time.
- Pick a preset, customize in the builder, connect your Apple and Google developer accounts, and trigger a build. From there the binaries are compiled and submitted to the stores; the remaining wait is Apple and Google review time.
- App orders land in Shopify Analytics under the Appolar sales channel, so app and web revenue sit in the same reports you already use. Analytics pixels are configured from the builder on paid plans.
- Not natively yet. Checkout hands off to your real Shopify Checkout, so whatever your checkout already sells can be bought in the app, but there is no dedicated in-app rendering for subscription apps like Recharge, Bold, or Skio today.
- Starter is free with the full builder. Pro is $79/month, Ultra is $199/month, and Lifetime is a one-time $997 with $79 per build for updates. No revenue share and no per-install fees. See the pricing page for details.
