E-Commerce Mobile App Case Study

Building a successful mobile e-commerce application requires careful planning, excellent user experience design, and robust technical implementation. Here's how we approached this challenging project.

Project Overview

Client: Fashion Retail Startup
Timeline: 4 months
Platform: iOS & Android (React Native)
Team: 3 developers, 1 designer, 1 PM

The Challenge

Our client needed a mobile app that would:

• Provide seamless shopping experience
• Handle high traffic during sales
• Integrate with existing inventory systems
• Support multiple payment methods

Technical Architecture

Technology Stack

• Framework: React Native with TypeScript
• State Management: Redux Toolkit
• Navigation: React Navigation 6
• Backend: Node.js with Express
• Database: PostgreSQL with Redis caching
• Payment: Stripe integration

Performance Optimizations

We implemented several key optimizations:

// Optimized product list with lazy loading
import { FlashList } from '@shopify/flash-list';

const ProductList: React.FC = () => {
  const { data, fetchNext } = useInfiniteQuery(
    ['products'],
    fetchProducts,
    {
      getNextPageParam: (lastPage) => lastPage.nextCursor,
    }
  );

  return (
    <FlashList
      data={data?.pages.flatMap(page => page.products)}
      renderItem={({ item }) => }
      onEndReached={fetchNext}
      estimatedItemSize={120}
    />
  );
};

Results

The app achieved remarkable success:

• 50% increase in mobile conversion rates
• 4.8/5 average app store rating
• 200ms average load time
• 99.9% uptime during peak sales

This project demonstrated the power of combining great design with solid technical execution!
