It was long back when having a successful business was all about having a website that worked fine and the customers kept coming and buying from you.

Well, that was a long time ago!!

Now, the market is all about competition and staying ahead with the latest technological advancements. After the eCommerce website came to the native apps that just made things so much easier for the customers and beneficial for the store merchants. However, with high-speed internet, the native apps soared high. However, in case the internet speed is low, the native apps fail and that’s where Progressive Web App which is also called eCommerce PWA came into the picture.

So, What are Progressive Web Apps?

By all accounts, an eCommerce PWA isn’t that not the same as some other web application. You access it with your smartphone’s program, much the same as you do with a custom mobile website. Yet, in the actual, the PWA packs the cutting-edge tech that causes it to carry on and to feel like a native app.

If you have a Prestashop store, having the PrestaShop PWA Mobile App will take your eCommerce business to new heights. The PrestaShop Progressive Web App is designed to give your customers a seamless shopping experience and provide access to your content even when there’s minimal or no internet connectivity.
