No-code bookstore mobile app development

Creating a bookstore app is a breeze with AppMySite. Here are the steps you need to follow to build a bookstore app for your business:

• See the types of mobile apps other online retailers and bookstore owners have. It will give you a sound idea of what type of features and functionalities your app needs.
• Select how you’d like to build your app. The choice is between two development methods – custom app development and no-code app creation. The former is a more expensive option and requires a lot of time. No-code app development with a tool like AppMySite is more sustainable from a financial point of view, and is also much faster.
• If you choose to go with no-code app development with AppMySite, you can start by creating an account.
• Personalize your app’s screens and sections with easy no-code design features. See how your app looks and performs on live preview screens.
• Connect your bookstore website and app. Populate your app with books from your website in minutes.
• Change the app’s settings to manage how customers interact with your mobile app. You can enable features like filter, search, and sort to enhance book discovery for readers within the app.
• Preview your mobile app on live emulators and real devices to test if it looks and performs as per your expectations.
• Generate your app build(s). You can create APK & AAB builds for Android and an IPA build for iOS. Once you have your app builds, publish them to the app stores.

You can build multiple types of book apps with AppMySite. Some of them include:

• Book selling apps: If you already have a book retail website, you can build a book-selling app with AppMySite.
• Book review & recommendation app: Even if you’re not selling books directly and promoting them as affiliate products, you can sync book review posts and external WooCommerce products to your app.

Bookstore app development can cost somewhere between $30-50K if you choose to get a custom-built app. Custom app development is expensive as it requires hundreds, even thousands of development hours in some cases. Agencies and developers thus naturally charge steeply when it comes to app development.

AppMySite has affordable plans that allow businesses to design and build apps in minutes. Each plan has its own unique offerings and features. You can sustainably build a mobile app for your business without worrying about spending thousands of dollars.

It can take three to six months to create a bookstore mobile app. The timeline can increase or decrease depending on the type of features you need to integrate with your mobile app. Custom app development takes time, and if you ask developers for more features, the time required to build the app will naturally increase.

The other option is to use a no-code app development tool to create an app. No-code options enable you to expedite the development process and build a bookstore app within minutes.

You don’t need to find a premade template to build a bookstore app on AppMySite. When you connect your website and app, your store’s products, details, categories, etc, will be populated in the app. You can also set the color theme of the app in a way that matches the website’s aesthetic.

Here are some of the essential features you need to build a bookstore app:

• A login and signup system

• Book genre/category system
• Customer chat
• Push notifications
• Payment gateway integration
• Profile and account management (update profile, orders, etc)
• Shipping methods integration
