Today, Median.co is thrilled to announce an exciting new integration between Shopify and Median.co. This means Shopify merchants can now — more easily than ever — launch full-feature mobile apps to drive revenue and engagement with customers.

We’re excited to collaborate with Shopify, a leading e-commerce platform trusted by nearly 5 million merchants — including multi-million-in-revenue retailers like Sephora, Staples, and Nestle —  who leverage Shopify technology to create online stores and sell their products or services. 

While any merchant can use Median.co to deliver a mobile app, our platform is best suited for Shopify merchants with $50M+ in annual turnover who are onboarding to Shopify from other e-commerce platforms and need to migrate to a new app with similar integrations.

Meet Shopify and Median.co

Shopify is a complete cloud-based commerce platform that enables anyone to start, grow, manage, and scale their business with ease. Using its platform, merchants can proactively build and customize their online store, and sell across multiple channels like websites, mobile devices, in-person brick-and-mortar locations, and pop-up shops. 

They can also access features like inventory management, payment processing, and shipping options, as well as marketing, analytics, and customer engagement tools that help merchants grow their online presence and increase sales.

Median.co streamlines app development, enabling web developers, startups, and large enterprise customers to effortlessly create iOS and Android apps powered by their existing web content, and to equip these apps with essential native features that can captivate users. 

With this new Median integration, Shopify merchants can now unlock a whole new aspect to their businesses — with mobile apps that have the features needed to delight customers and drive revenue, including e-commerce and retail functionalities that are typically more complex and costly to deliver.

Full-feature native apps built with Median can provide support for push notification platforms, analytics tools, NFC, iBeacon, QR/barcode scanning, and much more.

What does the new Median.co x Shopify integration entail? 

Median.co’s mission is to simplify mobile app development for web developers, startups, and large enterprises.  Our integration with Shopify brings the best of Median to Shopify merchants of all sizes. Now, merchants can offer powerful native apps with features and functionality that drive customer satisfaction and business results.

Median stands out amongst other options for app development. Compared to basic wrapper apps, Median offers powerful native app features and integrations with third-party services. Compared to traditional native app development, Median's App Studio platform, plus support services, streamlines the app-launch as well as ongoing maintenance. 

The result is a higher quality, more advanced app for less effort and cost.

With Median’s App Studio, Shopify merchants can instantly build and customize their app, and have the ability to preview it in real time on our suite of iOS and Android device simulators.

Retailers will benefit from the Median + Shopify partnership by, more easily than ever, being able to deliver an exceptional web and app e-commerce experience to engage customers and drive business growth.

"We're thrilled to launch this integration and to bring the best of Median to Shopify merchants,” says Median’s CEO, Kingsley Gifford. “Our e-commerce customers deliver exceptional app experiences with Median's integrations to push notification platforms, analytics tools, NFC, iBeacon, barcode scanning, and much more. Our robust platform combined with our experienced team makes Median a game-changer for Shopify merchants of all sizes."
