Reactiv App Help for Shopify: Native Builds and App Clips

The Reactiv app turns a Shopify store into native iOS and Android apps, built in a drag-and-drop editor and extended through Reactiv's SDKs. It also builds App Clips, lightweight iOS experiences that open from a link, QR code or NFC tap without a full install. As of October 2026, plans start at $1,500 a month, with Standard and Plus tiers. Specialists are hired to plan where App Clips appear, to set push rules beside the email program, to choose what goes in the app-only catalog, and to build custom features on the SDKs that come with the Plus plan. As of October 2026, 5 experts carry the Reactiv badge on shopexperts: 2 agencies and 3 freelancers, based in Canada, Australia, the Philippines and Thailand.

Reactiv work worth bringing in a specialist for

At $1,500 a month and up, the builder is the smaller decision. What you do with it decides whether the fee pays back.

App Clip doorways. Clips open from a link, a QR code or an NFC tap, and Reactiv also names mobile click and geolocation as triggers. Choosing which doorways to use, from paid social to packaging to a shop counter, and what each Clip shows first is planning work.

Push rules. Sends are unlimited, with geolocation, segment, scheduled and back-in-stock types. Without a cap tied to your email marketing calendar, customers hear the same offer twice.

The app-only catalog. Standard includes an app-exclusive catalog. Picking which products or drops live only in the app, and how the website tells people, is a conversion and merchandising call.

Integration QA. The listing names Google Analytics, Klaviyo, Recharge, Yotpo, Gorgias and Zendesk. Each has to show the right data inside the app, and analytics events need checking on both platforms.

SDK features. Plus adds the Ecommerce SDK, the Integrations SDK and the UI Kit for anything the editor can't do. Work on those needs a Shopify app developer with native mobile experience.

Starting with Reactiv's kit. Standard comes with what Reactiv calls an app success kit. A straight catalog app with standard pushes may need nothing more.

Questions to put to a Reactiv candidate

Reactiv is priced for brands that expect the app to earn its keep, so judge candidates on strategy as much as build skill.

Where would the Clips go? A strong answer names specific places in your business, such as packaging inserts or a retail counter, and says what the first screen shows. A weak answer stops at ads.

What do Android shoppers get? App Clips are an iOS feature. Ask what an Android shopper sees after scanning the same QR code. You want that answer before anything is printed.

Which feature needs Plus? The gap between Standard and Plus is $3,499 a month. Ask which SDK feature in your brief requires it. If they can't name one, stay on Standard.

Native code history. For custom features, ask to see something they built on Reactiv's SDKs or another native mobile codebase, and who maintains it now.

Pitches to distrust. Repeating Reactiv's marketing multiples as a promise. A full quote before anyone has listed your integrations. No Android plan when Clips are central to the pitch.

Begin with one Clip journey. Pay for a single entry point, one landing screen and tracking in Google Analytics. It tests strategy, build and measurement in one small job.

Reactiv app plans, App Clips and other build facts

Both plans are paid. As of October 2026, Standard is $1,500 a month and Plus $4,999, billed in USD every 30 days. The listing shows no free plan. Reactiv's Plus plan has nothing to do with Shopify Plus.

What Standard covers. The drag-and-drop builder, iOS and Android apps, unlimited design components and integrations, the app-exclusive catalog and the app success kit.

What Plus adds. The Reactiv UI Kit, unlimited templates, the Ecommerce SDK, the Integrations SDK and priority support. Custom features built on the SDKs belong to this tier.

Clips stop at iOS. Reactiv's site describes App Clips as lightweight native iOS experiences opened from a link, QR code or NFC tap. Android shoppers need a separate route to the app.

Build time. Reactiv's site quotes 2 to 4 weeks for a native app. With several integrations to check, plan around the longer end.

A recent listing. Reactiv, based in Toronto, launched on the Shopify App Store in April 2024, and the listing shows English only. Ask candidates for Reactiv apps they have shipped and talk to one of those brands.

Reactiv FAQs for Shopify brands

How much does the Reactiv app cost?

As of October 2026, Standard is $1,500 a month and Plus is $4,999, billed in USD every 30 days. The listing shows no free plan. Plus is Reactiv's own tier name and is unrelated to your Shopify plan. Any expert's fee for strategy or SDK work is separate from these.

What is an App Clip, and does my brand need one?

An App Clip is a lightweight iOS experience that opens from a link, QR code or NFC tap without installing the full app. It earns its place where shoppers meet you away from the website: packaging, events, a shop counter. If most of your sales come from returning web customers, the full app and push matter more.

Can a Reactiv expert build features the editor doesn't have?

Yes, on Plus. That tier adds the Ecommerce SDK, the Integrations SDK and the UI Kit. Standard includes unlimited design components and integrations, but no SDK is listed for it. Confirm the plan before you pay anyone to scope custom features.

How long does a Reactiv build take?

Reactiv's site quotes 2 to 4 weeks for a native app. Planning sits outside that window: Clip entry points, push rules and integration checks are best settled before the build starts, so start the expert a week or two earlier.

What belongs in a Reactiv brief?

Your iOS and Android traffic split. Physical touchpoints where a QR code or NFC tag could live. Your email, SMS and support tools. Products you might keep app-only. And whether you need anything the editor can't do, since that decides Standard or Plus.
