Android Apps for Retail & E-Commerce
EVOTECH builds android apps for retail & e-commerce — shaped around this industry's real priorities, designed and built by a Houston team, and yours to keep.
Android apps built in Kotlin and tested across the real range of devices your customers actually carry — then shipped to Google Play.
What you get
A native Android app built in Kotlin that runs well on the phones your customers actually own — not just the newest flagship. Android is a huge range of screen sizes, price points, and OS versions, and a good build accounts for that instead of pretending everyone has the same phone.
We follow Material Design so the app feels native to Android, handle the Google Play Console setup and submission, and ship a proper App Bundle so downloads stay small on budget devices.
- Native Kotlin build that follows Android's Material Design conventions
- Tested across a realistic spread of screen sizes and Android versions
- Android App Bundle (AAB) packaging so installs stay lean
- Push notifications, background behavior, and permissions handled correctly
- Google Play Console listing and submission handled for you
- Published to Google Play under your own developer account
What retail & e-commerce need from android apps
Getting found is the other job. Your product and category pages need to rank in Google and surface in Google Shopping, your inventory has to stay in sync so you're never selling what you can't ship, and you need a way to bring shoppers back through email, SMS, and abandoned-cart reminders, because the second and third purchase are where the margin is. Leaning entirely on Amazon or Etsy means paying their fees and playing by their rules while they own your customer; your own store is the channel you control.
- A fast, mobile-first storefront with a short, frictionless checkout
- Product photography, clear descriptions, and customer reviews that do the selling for you
- Product and category SEO plus Google Shopping so items reach ready-to-buy searchers
- Reliable inventory, payments, shipping, and returns, ideally synced with your in-store POS
- Abandoned-cart recovery and email/SMS flows that drive repeat purchases
- Search and filtering that let shoppers find the right product quickly

Frequently asked questions
I sell fine on Amazon and Etsy. Is my own store worth the trouble?
Marketplaces are great for reach, but they take a cut of every sale, control your customer relationship, and can change the rules overnight. Your own store lets you keep more margin, build an email and SMS list you actually own, and present your brand your way, while you keep selling on the marketplaces too. The right mix depends on your products and volume, which we're happy to walk through in a free consultation.
Why is Android different from iOS to build?
Android runs on a huge variety of devices from many manufacturers, at many price points and OS versions, while Apple controls its own small hardware lineup. That variety is the real work on Android — it means more testing to make sure the app behaves everywhere, not just on one phone.
Do I need a Google Play developer account?
Yes, and it should be in your business's name. Google charges a one-time developer registration fee that goes to them. We'll help you set up the account so the app is published under you and stays your property.
