Progressive Web App

The "Progressive Web App" add-on allows to convert your store to mobile application with PWA technology

PWA is a technology that allows you to convert websites into mobile applications. They load quickly on phones and tablets. Concerning interface, Progressive Web App is practically the same as ordinary applications, but it is easier to develop and support them. You do not need to place PWA in the AppStore and Google Play - this can be done from the site.

The main benefits for the site owner:
• Budget savings - you need only one application that will function on all platforms
• PWA is indexed by search engines - robots do not index ordinary applications
• conversion increase and natural expansion of target audience due to users who are used to do shopping online;
• brand awareness increase due to the icon on the gadget's home screen.

The main benefits for user:
• installation in one click from the site;
• the ability to adapt the images to the device size and resolution;
• secure data exchange via HTTPS protocol;
• small weight of the application (up to 1MB)
