Venn Apps

What Venn Apps does

Venn Apps Ltd. is a London-based private mobile app development agency that converts Shopify stores into fully native iOS and Android applications written in Swift and Kotlin, distinguished from web-wrapper alternatives by a proprietary middleware architecture that supports over 80 third-party integrations and real-time Shopify metafield and Metaobject syncing. The company serves mid-market and enterprise Shopify brands primarily in fashion and apparel, cosmetics and beauty, and jewellery verticals, with a stated portfolio of 100+ launched apps generating over £500M in cumulative client GMV and $56M in client revenue during BFCM 2025.

The product surface centres on a white-glove managed service combining bespoke UX design, a drag-and-drop CMS for custom pages, an analytics dashboard, unlimited push notifications with segmentation and automation, omnichannel features (mobile wallet loyalty passes, geo-located pushes, in-store appointment booking), tier-based loyalty, Shop The Look lookbooks, and app-exclusive products and discounts. Distribution combines direct enterprise sales with dedicated account managers, a Shopify App Store listing, a content/SEO blog (Venn Insights), an E-Book funnel, and a formal partner programme with agency resellers (e.g., Swanky Agency) and technology partners (e.g., Recharge, Klaviyo, Yotpo, Algolia). Pricing is structured as a Pro plan at $1,999/month and custom Enterprise contracts, typically multi-year, with fixed monthly fees and no success-based charges.

The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, operates with 1-10 employees from a London headquarters, and has expanded its owned software footprint through first-party native products Venn Apps Push and Venn Apps Loyalty alongside new features such as Geo-Located Push Notifications launched in October 2025. Named customers include In the Style, TOTEME, Astrid & Miyu, Justmylook, Face The Future, Jaded London, Represent, AYBL, Cole Buxton, Motel Rocks, and Club L London.
