5-minute decision guide

Public vs private mobile product catalogue

Choose the right discovery and access model for consumer sales, B2B pricing, internal purchasing or confidential products.

Short answer

Public suits open acquisition. Private suits controlled audiences. The right platform should let the business choose deliberately and evolve without rebuilding its data.

What to compare before choosing

Platform and synchronisation

Confirm which system remains the source of truth for products, stock, customers and orders. Check whether updates move one way or both ways.

Public or controlled access

Decide whether anyone may discover the catalogue or whether only approved accounts should see it.

Total cost, not only the subscription

Include implementation, store developer accounts, add-ons, commissions, design work and the time needed for daily operation.

Daily ownership

Identify where staff update products, stock, customers, orders, content, promotions and push notifications.

SellViaApp

How SellViaApp fits this decision

SellViaApp can create a mobile sales channel directly or connect Shopify, WooCommerce, Wix, Odoo and custom APIs. The entry subscription uses the shared SellViaApp application; a separately scoped branded application is also available.

  • €59/month or €590/year for one space in the shared SellViaApp app. A branded app is a separate project.
  • Products, stock, customers and orders can stay synchronised according to the connector used.
  • The catalogue can be public or limited to authorised accounts.
