Ecommerce App Development for AI Search, AR Try-On, and Conversion
We are an ecommerce app development company building iOS and Android shopping apps with AI-powered semantic product search, AR try-on, one-tap checkout, and real-time inventory sync. Apps built to convert more shoppers and return fewer products, not just look good in a pitch deck.
THE REAL CHALLENGES
Why Ecommerce Apps Lose Sales Without the Right Architecture
Groceri, Here Is the Evidence We Solved These
"The semantic search Maze Digital built changed how people actually discover events on our platform. Checkout completion jumped the moment one-tap payment shipped. Both were measurable within the first month."

Generic Keyword Search Loses Sales
Shoppers search the way they talk, not the way your product titles are written. A search for "something for a rainy hike" returns nothing useful from a keyword-only catalog, and the shopper leaves without buying anything at all.
Cart Abandonment at Checkout
Industry-wide cart abandonment averages over 70 percent, and a checkout flow that requires manual card entry, account creation, or too many steps is the single biggest reason shoppers leave without completing the purchase they already decided to make.
High Return Rates from Guesswork
Without a way to preview fit, scale, or color before buying, shoppers guess. Guessing leads to returns, and returns are one of the most expensive line items in ecommerce operations, often costing more than the margin on the original sale.
Inventory Oversells and Sync Delays
When your app, your website, and your in-store POS are not synced in real time, you sell products you do not have, disappoint customers with cancellation emails, and damage the trust that gets people to buy from you again.
ECOMMERCE SOFTWARE WE BUILD
Six Types of Ecommerce Software We Build End-to-End
Every type listed here links to the service page with full technical detail. This is the short version: what we build, what technology we use, and what you get.
Native Shopping Apps
iOS apps in Swift and SwiftUI, Android apps in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, or a single React Native codebase for both. Built around the browse, search, and checkout flows that actually drive conversion, with Apple Pay and Google Pay native integration from day one.
iOS Development
AI Product Search and Recommendations
Semantic product search using vector embeddings stored in pgvector or Pinecone, so shoppers find what they mean, not just what they typed. Personalized recommendation models trained on browsing and purchase history, and a GPT-5.5-powered shopping assistant for product Q&A.
AI Development
AR Try-On and Product Visualization
ARKit on iOS and ARCore on Android for try-on experiences across apparel, eyewear, furniture, and home goods. Shoppers preview fit, scale, and color before buying, which directly reduces the guess-purchases that drive returns.
React Native Development
Shopify & WooCommerce Integration
Shopify Storefront API for catalog, cart, and checkout, and Admin API for inventory and order management. WooCommerce REST API and webhooks for WordPress-based stores. Real-time inventory sync so your app never shows stock that has already sold elsewhere.
B2B SaaS Development
Checkout and Conversion Optimization
One-tap checkout with saved payment methods, guest checkout that does not force account creation, and a streamlined flow designed against real cart abandonment data. We design every checkout screen in Figma against conversion benchmarks before any code is written.
UI/UX Design

AI Search and Conversion Architecture
What AI-Powered Search and Conversion Architecture Actually Means
Most ecommerce apps bolt AI onto a keyword search box and call it done. Real semantic search means every product is embedded as a vector capturing its meaning, not just its title, and every shopper query is matched against that meaning, not exact text.
We build this into every ecommerce app from the first sprint: product catalogs embedded and indexed for semantic retrieval, one-tap checkout that removes the friction points that cause abandonment, and real-time inventory webhooks so stock levels are never wrong across channels. Conversion is treated as an architecture decision, not a marketing afterthought.
- Vector embeddings for every product, indexed in pgvector or Pinecone
- Semantic search matching shopper intent, not exact keyword overlap
- One-tap Apple Pay and Google Pay checkout with saved payment methods
- Guest checkout that never forces account creation before purchase
- AR try-on via ARKit and ARCore for fit, scale, and color preview
- Real-time inventory webhooks from Shopify, WooCommerce, or your ERP
- Push notification abandoned cart recovery sequences
- Personalized recommendation models trained on behavior data
Vector embeddings via OpenAI text-embedding-3-large stored in pgvector, returning relevant products from natural-language queries, not exact text matches.
Apparel, eyewear, and furniture try-on experiences that reduce the sizing and fit uncertainty driving most product returns.
Native Apple Pay and Google Pay integration with biometric confirmation, removing manual card entry as a point of checkout friction.
Webhook-driven stock updates from Shopify or WooCommerce with optimistic locking at checkout to prevent overselling on high-velocity SKUs.
