Median makes it easy for merchants to turn their Shopify store into iOS and Android apps. Your store keeps running on Shopify, and Median adds the native features that help you engage customers and grow revenue.

How Median works

Median converts your Shopify storefront into iOS and Android apps using a WebView approach. Your store runs inside a native “shell” that Median provides. This shell connects your storefront to device features like push notifications, scanning, and biometric authentication. When you’re ready to launch on iOS, you can:
  1. Connect your Apple Developer account in Median App Studio
  2. Set Upload to App Store Connect to Automatic
  3. Test the uploaded build in TestFlight
  4. Submit it for App Review
You don’t need to rebuild your store in Swift, build it in Xcode, or upload with Apple Transporter for the standard publishing workflow. If you’d rather have Median’s team handle store submission, see the Publishing Service.
