The add-on Blog is finally here!

You can now enhance your Shopping app and showcase your products under a different angle by writing blog posts. 

Mobile has changed the landscape of ecommerce and shopping apps have become a must.
As a result, brands might be in a rush to create their apps and get onto the Play Store and App Store as quickly as possible. 
However the most crucial factor to your e-commerce venture’s success is the quality of your mobile app. But too often businesses make poor choices, overlooking the needs of their clients base and not putting enough time in understanding the shopping experience on their side. 
The result? Bad reviews and poor performance. 

Here are the most common mistakes to avoid if you want your shopping app to be a success.

2020 is here and we would like first of all to wish you a happy new year from the GoodBarber team. We wish all the best for your app building adventures !

In December, we worked on the opening of the Add-ons Store for our Shopping Apps. As for GoodBarber Classic, the add-ons store is a library of additional features available for you to add or not to your back office.

3 add-ons are already available in the Shopping Apps catalog:

• Products import/ Export: manage your product catalog in a record time thanks to the import/ export via .csv file. 
• Google AMP: Increase the visibility of your products and improve your users' experience on your PWA
• White Label: remove all mention of GoodBarber in your back office. 

Happy New Year from all of us at GoodBarber. 
All our best wishes for 2020 :)

If you are reading this article, chances are you already know that Mobile is no longer a trend in eCommerce but an accepted standard in the online shopping journey. And while most retailers have invested in mobile responsive website, quite a few still wonder if they need a Shopping App. 

Let’s see what are the pros and cons of each platform and how you can use them for your business.

Free shipping is one of the greatest marketing tools available to an online shop. It can motivate customers to buy more or give them an incentive to buy right away. This option has been around for so long that shoppers have begun to expect free shipping to be available almost on any online shops. According to a survey, 90% of people said that having an order ship for free is the biggest incentive to add more to their cart. Offering free shipping, whenever possible, has now become a necessity for online retailers.

It has been several weeks since GoodBarber Shopping Apps was published and many of you have been testing it! This month, we decided to focus on the publication of a very useful tool in the creation of your shopping app: the publication of My GoodBarber Shop.


This app allows you to test the native version of your shop, directly on your smartphone before starting the publication process. A precious tool allowing you to preview what your clients will experience once they have downloaded your app. You can find the instructions on how to install My GoodBarber Shop in your back office ;)

What is SEO? SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization, which is the practice of increasing the quantity and quality of traffic to your website through organic search engine results. Simply put, it’s increasing the likelihood to drive more unpaid traffic from search engines, which results in attracting visitors who are genuinely interested in the products your offer
Having good or favorable SEO means that your Progressive Web App comes up as one of the first results returned by the search engines when someone types the keywords you're aiming to be positioned around. 
How does it work? When search engines turn up results, they are based on 2 elements :
- Indexing
- Algorithms 

To make up their index, search engines use indexation robots. These robots (bots) browse the web and collect information about the websites visited (content, links, activity, etc.). 
Information saved in the index is then used by algorithms. For each request, they calculate and return the list of the most pertinent sites. There are many settings taken into account in judging the level of pertinence. Certain ones are of a technical nature, others are editorial, and some are related to various links that link sites together.
