How to make an app for a clothing store

A clothing store app lets regular customers look through your kurtis, shirts and kids' wear from home, pick a size and colour, and send the order to you on WhatsApp. You add new stock with a photo, so customers see the latest arrivals without visiting the shop.

Updated 2026-11-09

Who uses the app

Customers browse and order, and you or your staff add pieces and mark sizes sold out. Because customers use it on their own phones and see the stock you add, the catalogue must be online in your own Supabase database.

The screens a clothing store app needs

Catalogue: Sections such as men, women and kids, with photos, prices and the sizes available for each piece
Piece details: Several photos, fabric, colours and a size chart; pick a size and add it to the cart
Cart: The chosen pieces with sizes and the total; one button sends the order to the shop on WhatsApp
New arrivals: The latest pieces first, so regular customers see what came in this week
Add stock: For the owner: add a piece with photos, price and sizes, and mark a size sold out
Store info: Timings, exchange rule, address with a Google Maps button and a call button

Features worth asking for

Size buttons for each piece, with sold-out sizes greyed out
A size chart for shirts, kurtis and kids' age sizes
A WhatsApp order message listing each piece, size, colour and the total
Filters for section, price range and occasion such as office, party or wedding
A sale tag and sale price on chosen pieces
Hindi labels for customers who prefer them
An optional pay button through your own Razorpay account for customers who want to pay before pickup

Where the data lives

Customers and the owner both need the same catalogue, so connect your own Supabase database from the chat; it has a free plan. If you want customers to pay in the app, connect your Razorpay account too, and the money goes straight to you.

How to make it with AppCub, step by step

Decide what the app does. List the screens you need, for example: Catalogue, Piece details, Cart, New arrivals, Add stock.
Describe it to AppCub. Paste the request below, changed to your own business and details.
Check the plan. AppCub shows the screens and features it will build. Change them in the chat until they are right; seeing the plan is free.
Try it on your phone. The app runs live next to the chat. Scan the QR code to install it, and ask for changes.
Share it. Share it as a web link, an APK file, or publish it on Google Play from your own developer account.

Copy this request, change the details to match your clothing store, and paste it into AppCub:

Make a catalogue app for my clothing store, Verma Fashion House in Indore. Customers browse men's, ladies' and kids' wear, see photos, price, fabric and sizes, add pieces to a cart and send the order to me on WhatsApp at 98XXXXXXXX with the size and colour of each piece. Add a new arrivals screen, filters by section and price, a size chart, and a sale tag. I need an owner screen to add pieces with photos and mark sizes sold out. Use my Supabase database. Maroon and cream colours.

Tips for a clothing store app

Start with your fast-moving sections and 30 to 50 pieces; a catalogue that is kept current matters more than a large one.
Mark sizes sold out the same day they go, so customers don't order something you no longer have.
Decide how you handle delivery or pickup and put it on the store info screen before you share the app.
Share the app as a web link in your shop's WhatsApp group and on the bill; nothing needs to be installed.
Try a full order yourself from a second phone before customers see the app.

Good to know

AppCub doesn't connect to your billing machine or barcode scanner, and it doesn't sync stock with marketplaces. Orders arrive on WhatsApp for you to confirm, and stock is updated by hand on the owner screen.
AppCub builds Android apps. You can also share the app as a web link that opens on any phone; for the iPhone App Store, AppCub’s team can do it for you.

Questions

Can customers pay for clothes in the app?

Yes, with a pay button that uses your own Razorpay account, after you connect Razorpay and Supabase. Many stores keep WhatsApp orders with payment on pickup or delivery.

How do I add new stock to the clothing app?

On the owner screen, take a photo, type the price and tick the sizes. Customers see the piece in new arrivals as soon as you save it.

Can the app show the same kurti in different colours?

Yes. Ask AppCub for colour options on each piece, with a photo for each colour, and the colour goes into the WhatsApp order.

Do customers need to install the app?

No. You can share it as a web link that opens in any phone browser. An APK or a Google Play listing is also possible.

Can the app keep a record of my shop's daily sales?

It can, if you ask for a sales screen where staff enter each bill. It won't read your billing machine, so the entries are made by hand.

Can my clothing store app be on Google Play?

Yes, from your own Google Play developer account with a paid AppCub plan. AppCub's team can handle the Google Play steps for a fixed quote.
