The future of eCommerce is mobile, and in 2025, consumers expect more than just functional online stores. They want personalized, fast, and frictionless shopping experiences—right from their smartphones. That’s why building a high-performing eCommerce mobile app is no longer optional for serious brands. But what does it actually take to go from idea to fully functional mobile app?

At RSunBeat Software, we’ve refined our eCommerce app development process into an efficient, client-friendly 8-week sprint model. We understand that startups and growth-stage brands need agility, transparency, and results. In this blog, we take you behind the scenes of how we plan, design, develop, and launch custom eCommerce mobile apps that deliver exceptional ROI.

Week 1: Strategy, Discovery & Roadmap Creation

Before we write a single line of code, we spend our first week in collaborative discovery. This includes:

• Business Understanding: Identifying your core offering, product categories, customer personas, and growth goals.

• Feature Planning: Defining critical app functionalities like product search, secure payments, push notifications, loyalty rewards, AR product previews, or integrations with CRMs and ERPs.

• Technology Planning: Choosing whether to build with React Native or Flutter, depending on performance needs, budget, and timelines.

• Roadmap Drafting: Laying out the development timeline, deliverables, and key milestones.

This phase ensures alignment between your goals and our technical strategy.

Week 2: UI/UX Research, Wireframes & User Flow Mapping

In Week 2, our UX team dives into user behavior studies, analyzing top-performing apps in your niche. We then build wireframes to map every screen in your mobile app. This includes:

• Home, Category, Product, Cart, and Checkout pages

• Onboarding flows

• Account creation/login

• Loyalty & promotions screens

• Post-purchase journeys

Tools like Figma or Adobe XD allow you to interact with these wireframes and suggest changes before full design begins.

Week 3: High-Fidelity UI Design (Mobile-First)

Once the wireframes are approved, our UI team translates them into pixel-perfect mobile app designs. In this week, we focus on:

• Typography, color psychology, iconography

• Interactive elements and touch-friendly design

• Brand consistency

• Accessibility and dark/light mode options

These are shared for stakeholder feedback before moving to development.

Week 4: Frontend App Development Begins (React Native or Flutter)

By Week 4, we kick off frontend development. Depending on the stack, we use Flutter (for beautiful native experiences) or React Native (for scalable cross-platform builds).

Development is broken into sprints and delivered via Git repositories, with daily updates and review points. Our dev team ensures:

• Component-based architecture for scalability

• Integration with headless CMS or backend APIs

• Mobile performance optimization (load times, memory usage, etc.)

Week 5: Backend Integration, Cart & Payment Gateways

We connect your app with backend systems like:

• Custom admin panels

• Inventory databases

• Order management systems (OMS)

• Secure payment gateways (Stripe, Razorpay, PayPal, etc.)

This is one of the most sensitive parts of the build and includes full encryption for all customer data.

Week 6: Testing (QA, Bug Fixes, and Real Device Testing)

Quality Assurance is baked into every sprint, but Week 6 is dedicated to complete testing cycles:

• Functional Testing: Make sure every button, page, and flow works as intended.

• Performance Testing: Load times, battery consumption, and resource optimization.

• Security Testing: PCI-DSS compliance, GDPR readiness, and data encryption.

• User Testing: Real users test the app on various Android and iOS devices.

Our QA engineers use tools like BrowserStack, TestFlight, and Firebase Crashlytics.

Week 7: App Store Optimization & Pre-Launch Marketing Assets

Before you launch, you need to prepare your app for discovery. In Week 7, we create:

• App Store and Google Play assets (screenshots, banners, copy)

• ASO-optimized titles, keywords, and descriptions

• Analytics setup (GA4, Firebase Analytics)

• Beta user onboarding

This is also when we finalize admin dashboards and train your internal team if needed.

Week 8: Launch, Monitor & Post-Launch Optimization

Finally, it’s go time. Your app is submitted to the App Store and Google Play. We monitor early adoption metrics like:

• DAU/MAU (Daily/Monthly Active Users)

• Funnel completion rates (add-to-cart to purchase)

• User retention and crash logs

We roll out hotfixes, gather user feedback, and begin version planning. Our team also assists with marketing campaigns or influencer onboarding, if requested.
