Why We Use React Native for E-commerce
Mobile commerce accounts for over 70% of e-commerce traffic. Shoppers expect fast, smooth native app experiences — not mobile websites. React Native delivers native performance for product catalogs, image galleries, cart management, and checkout flows, while sharing code between iOS and Android. It integrates seamlessly with Shopify Storefront API, Stripe for payments, and push notification services for cart abandonment recovery.

How We Build E-commerce with React Native
An e-commerce app built with React Native uses FlatList for performant product grids that handle thousands of items with smooth scrolling. Product detail pages feature image carousels with pinch-to-zoom, size selectors, and real-time inventory checks against the commerce backend. The cart persists locally with AsyncStorage and syncs with the server. Checkout integrates Stripe React Native SDK for secure, PCI-compliant payment processing with Apple Pay and Google Pay support. Push notifications power cart abandonment recovery (sent 1, 3, and 24 hours after abandonment) and personalized sale alerts based on browse history.
