Learn why building your own e-commerce app beats marketplaces. Keep 100% of your profits, boost loyalty, and launch fast with Goloris.
Introduction To Building Your Own E-Commerce App
Running an online business often feels like an uphill battle. Marketplaces like Amazon, Etsy, and app-based e-commerce platforms charge commissions and fees that eat away at your margins. While these platforms provide visibility, they also limit your control over branding and customer relationships.
The solution? Commission-free e-commerce with your own store powered by Goloris. By building and managing your own mobile app store, you can keep every cent of your profit, strengthen your brand identity, and own the customer experience from end to end.
1. Full Control Over Branding With Building Your Own E-Commerce App
When you sell on Shopify or Amazon, your store looks like everyone else’s. Customers may not even remember your brand after checkout.
With your own e-commerce app:
- Your logo and colors are front and center.
- You control the user journey from home screen to checkout.
- You stand out from competitors instead of being “just another seller.”
This is why more entrepreneurs are seeking direct-to-consumer (D2C) solutions where they can sell without middlemen.
2. Customer Retention Through Push Notifications
Marketplaces own the customer relationship — they send the emails, not you.
With your own app:
- Send push notifications for discounts, restocks, and new arrivals.
- Keep your brand in your customers’ pockets.
- Build loyalty instead of relying on repeat ad spend.
But traditionally, building your own mobile e-commerce app required expensive developers, months of coding, and technical know-how.
3. Commission-Free Sales
Here’s the harsh truth: selling on third-party platforms means giving away a slice of your profit.
| Platform | Avg. Commission | Monthly Fees | Ownership of Customer Data |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amazon | 8–15% per sale | None | ❌ No |
| Etsy | 6.5% + listing | None | ❌ No |
| Shopify | 0–2% per sale | $29+ | ✅ Yes |
| Goloris | 0% | From $0/mo | ✅ Yes |
4. Scalability and Customization
Unlike plug-and-play website builders, your own e-commerce app grows with you:
- Add unlimited products.
- Integrate payment gateways you choose.
- Customize UI/UX for better conversion rates.
And because Goloris is a no-code platform, you can do all this without hiring developers. You can publish this app under 15 minutes only with simple clicks.
5. How Goloris Simplifies It
Traditionally, building an app costs $10,000–$50,000 and takes months. With Goloris you can:
- Deploy to App Store & Google Play in minutes.
- Connect your existing online store.
- Sync products automatically.
- Customize your app with drag-and-drop tools.
