Opencart is a free and open-source E-Commerce platform. It provides very good features with default installation and also additional features and functionalities available at opencart marketplace (free and paid both).
In todays competitive world with having only web platform to sell products is not enough. Store Mobile application can make drastic boost in selling/business. As per the statistics available from bankmycell.com 3.50 Billion people have smart phone in the world and this count will continue to increase. Imagine non technical persons want to buy say TV so definitely he/she will prefer to use mobile application instead of using store website
So you can imagine how and in what manner store mobile application can make drastic boost in business.
Opencart does not provides any mobile application. Store owners may buy opencart mobile application from opencart market place and other third parties.
Store owner may use mobile application builder to build mobile application for their opencart store. I have listed some options for opencart mobile application builders you may find as below.
