How long does a Shopify app launch take in Darlington?

Most Darlington brands launch on the App Store and Google Play within 2 weeks of brief sign-off. Talmee handles UX design, React Native build, manual and device QA, store assets, and the App Store and Google Play submission process, including Apple Developer and Google Play Console account setup.

Will the app stay in sync with my Shopify store?

Yes. Products, collections, pricing, inventory, customer accounts and checkout all flow from Shopify Storefront API in real time. The merchandising team only edits Shopify; the app updates automatically. There is no separate CMS to keep in sync.

What is the difference between a Shopify app and a Shopify mobile site?

A mobile site lives in the browser, every visit is a cold load and the brand competes with browser tabs, ads and inbox noise. An app sits on the home screen, opens instantly, holds session state and reaches the customer through push. For Darlington brands with meaningful repeat traffic, the app earns its keep on the second order.

Do my customers need to download from the App Store?

Yes, once. After install, the app stays on the home screen and reopens with a single tap. Talmee uses smart app banners on your mobile site and post-purchase placements to drive installs from your existing audience without paying for paid acquisition.
