What is a Retail Mobile App?
A Retail Mobile App is a dedicated mobile application that allows retail businesses to sell products directly to consumers via smartphones and tablets. It offers an online store experience with features like product browsing, ordering, secure payments, delivery tracking, and loyalty programs — all through a convenient app interface.
