Shopit
Shopit is an innovative open-source project by Bluebash that seeks to transform e-commerce solutions by creating cross-platform mobile applications. We built Shopit as an open-source project, empowering users with Spree-based e-commerce stores to effortlessly develop mobile apps for Android and iOS platforms. The success of Myntra's mobile apps inspired Shopit, making it easy for customers to order conveniently from their mobile devices. As an open-source solution, Bluebash welcomes and encourages other passionate contributors on Git Hub to enhance and expand upon this platform.
Project Overview
This React Native mobile app supports both iOS and Android platforms. Users can register, browse, search, filter, add items to their wishlist or cart, and proceed to checkout with various payment options. With features like infinite scrolling and advanced filters, the app ensures a smooth and enjoyable experience. It receives frequent updates, is easily scalable and customizable, boasts a beautiful UI/UX design, and is open-source.
A Glance
Challenges
Bluebash, a company specializing in providing e-commerce solutions using Spree, noticed a significant drawback in Spree's offerings - the need for more readily available mobile app support. Given the widespread use of mobile devices and apps, this absence posed a significant obstacle for businesses considering Spree for their e-commerce needs. Recognizing the potential to boost Spree's appeal by offering mobile app support, Bluebash sought to address this limitation.
Solutions
Bluebash initiated the development of Shopit, centering it around the React Native framework. The primary goal was to create a versatile mobile app solution for Spree-based e-commerce stores, ensuring ease of setup and compatibility across all mobile operating systems. Inspired by Myntra, we focused on crafting an intuitive and seamless user experience. Bluebash recognizes Spree's robust capabilities for web stores and endeavors to extend them to native mobile apps through Shopit.
Shopit simplifies the process of developing mobile native apps for Spree-based ecommerce stores, enabling users to effortlessly create and manage their stores. Built on Spree, this solution can be utilized for both new and existing ecommerce platforms, offering users flexibility and convenience.
