Smartphones of all price ranges now have the ability to scan barcodes. With the OXID eShop App, this feature can be used to add products to the shopping cart. This is especially convenient when essential items are running low. Medium and large retailers have a wide range of products, often comprising thousands of items in various variants, and finding a specific article number can be cumbersome. Instead of searching for the exact product through the search field, it can be scanned and added to the cart. This can even be done at the location where the item is needed.
OXID eShop App in Detail: What Are the Benefits?
Every online shop needs a mobile solution
The fact is, every online shop nowadays needs some form of mobile solution. The reasons for this can be summarized quickly: The mobile channel is now the most attractive for many customers, and search engines increasingly value mobile optimization. However, there are good reasons for shop owners to opt for a mobile app instead of a responsive design. We have gathered the most important reasons in our blog post "7 Reasons Why a Mobile App Makes Sense for Your E-Commerce Strategy." Now, let's focus on the features of the OXID eShop App by ESYON.
Barcode Scanner for Shopping Carts
Customer & Product Management in One System
Expanding your own e-commerce platform with an additional channel creates additional sales potential but often increases administrative effort. With our mobile app, that is not the case. All customer and product-related data can be managed centrally in OXID. Changes to products, prices, stock levels, etc., are automatically synchronized with the app.
Offline Capability
Especially within the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), stable internet connections are not always easy to find. The OXID eShop App is installed on the user's smartphone and, therefore, works without internet access. Customers can select items and add them to the cart. Orders and cart updates are sent as soon as internet access is restored.
Multilingual Support
For online retailers operating in international markets, providing additional language versions alongside the native language is important. Our app supports multilingualism, allowing the internationalization of your shop.
Unified Login
The OXID eShop App supports Single Sign-On (SSO), meaning customers can log in with the same account details for both the desktop version and the mobile variant of the shop. Creating a separate account is no longer necessary.
Integration of Specific Features
Our app supports all standard features of OXID eShop by default. Additionally, we are capable of implementing specific features of your online shop for your mobile channel.
