Mobile app on Magento with your catalog and customer accounts

Your Magento already holds the catalog, prices, and customer accounts. A mobile app doesn't have to duplicate that — it uses the same data. One catalog, shared login across web and app, consistent data.
No second system to maintain.

Mobile app on Magento 2 — catalog, content, and customer accounts from one backend

Magento at the center, the app as another channel

Magento 2 multistore as the source of catalog for a mobile app

Manage products once — in Magento.

A mobile app needs a catalog, prices, and cart logic. You already run the catalog and prices in Magento — there's no reason to build them a second time.

With Magento multistore you run several stores or brands from a single admin, and the mobile app becomes just another channel on the same data. One catalog, plus our CMS, zero duplication.

We connect the app to your Magento through our backend. You change a product, price, or piece of content in one place, and the web and the app show the same thing, no second system to maintain, no data drift.

The more the app shares with your Magento, the less you maintain, and the harder it is for the store and the phone to drift apart.

What does a mobile app on Magento give you?

One catalog source

Products, categories, attributes, and images flow from Magento to the app and the web. One change, visible everywhere — no second database to watch.

Shared customer accounts (SSO)

Customers log in once, and thanks to SSO built on Keycloak, the same account works on the site and in the app. No separate registration, no two passwords.

Content from one CMS

Banners, pages, and content blocks live in our CMS, which feeds both the web and the app. Marketing publishes once, the content reaches both channels.

Price rules and promotions

Cart price rules, group prices, promotions — they work in the app exactly as on the web. Because it's the same Magento logic, not a copy of it.

Connected to Magento through our backend

The app doesn't talk to Magento on its own — our backend sits in between, pulls data from Magento, and serves the app an efficient API, without loading Magento with mobile traffic. Native or PWA, with no store rebuild.

Consistent omnichannel

Cart, orders, and purchase history in one system. The customer starts on the phone, finishes on the desktop — the data follows.

Shared customer accounts

Shared login across web and app on Magento via Keycloak SSO

One account. Web and app.

The worst moment in a mobile app is the second login screen, when a customer who already has an account in your store has to register all over again. We remove it.

We connect customer accounts through SSO built on Keycloak. The customer logs in once, and the identity is shared between the web store and the app. Order history, addresses, wishlist, and loyalty status remain the same on both sides.

For you, that's one source of identity instead of two user databases to reconcile. For the customer, a smooth move from phone to desktop and back, with no friction and no extra password to remember.

What you get from ecom.house

Analysis and recommendation

We review your Magento, traffic, and mobile conversion. The result is a clear recommendation — native, PWA, or “not yet” — and a plan to use what you already have.

Headless storefront (PWA)

A store that installs from the browser and works like an app, drawing on your Magento. More in Magento 2 PWA storefronts.

Native app

iOS and Android, connected to your Magento through our backend, published to the App Store and Google Play, integrated with phone features.

SSO via Keycloak

Shared accounts across web and app. One identity, one login, consistent customer data on both sides.

Integrations

GraphQL, ERP, PIM, payment gateways, push notifications, analytics. The app connected to your stack around Magento.

Maintenance and growth

We stay after launch. Monitoring, updates, development under SLA — together with your Magento, not next to it.

Questions about a mobile app on Magento

Does a mobile app use the data from my Magento?

Yes. You manage the catalog, prices, and content in Magento, and the app uses the same data — our backend sits in between, connects to Magento, and serves the data to the app and the web. Native or PWA, with no store rebuild. One data source for web and phone.

How does shared login across the site and the app work?

We connect customer accounts through SSO built on Keycloak. The customer logs in once, and the same account works in the web store and the app. Order history, addresses, and loyalty status are shared, with no separate registration in the app.

Native or PWA on Magento — which to choose?

We connect both approaches to your Magento. A PWA is cheaper and faster to ship, enough for most stores. Native gives the best UX and full access to phone features, at the cost of two platforms to maintain. We start with traffic and conversion analysis, not with technology.

Do the web and the app share content?

Yes. Content — banners, pages, blocks — lives in our CMS, which feeds both the web and the app. Marketing publishes once, and the content appears on both channels, with no copying between systems.

How is this different from a Magento PWA storefront?

A PWA storefront is a headless web store — it runs in the browser and can be installed like an app. Here we mean a full mobile app (PWA or native) with the focus on shared accounts via SSO and a single data source from Magento. Storefront details: Magento 2 PWA storefronts.

How much does a mobile app on Magento cost?

Since you already have the catalog and content in Magento, the build is cheaper than an app with its own system from scratch. A PWA is measured in weeks; a native app is a bigger project: two platforms and ongoing maintenance. We quote individually after reviewing your Magento and goals.

Will app traffic put load on my Magento?

No. Between the app and Magento sits our intermediate backend, which consumes Magento's ready API — with no extra Magento development. It absorbs the app's traffic and serves the app its own efficient API, so Magento isn't hit directly by mobile traffic. We sync data from Magento in near real time, so the catalog in the app is always up to date — without overloading the store.
