Viplife — Mobile App
A React Native app for the online store, running on the same GraphQL API as the website — so catalogue and stock are never out of step.
About the project
Once viplife.az was live, the client wanted the same store on the phone. Because the backend and the GraphQL API were already in place, the app was not a matter of standing up a new system — it was a matter of putting a mobile interface on the API that already existed.
The app
We built the app in React Native and shipped iOS and Android from one codebase. It talks to the same GraphQL API the website uses, which means:
- The catalogue, the prices and the stock levels match the website exactly
- Sign-in uses the same SMS OTP flow, and payments run through the same two gateways
- Orders land in the MSSQL system the shops already run on
- Adding a product needs no app release
The result
The client operates one backend, one source of truth and three sales channels — the shops, the website and the app. Nothing has to be maintained twice.
