Codeeo delivers ecommerce app development Los Angeles brands use to sell directly to their fans: iOS and Android apps for limited drops, creator storefronts, loyalty and fast checkout. We build for apparel labels rooted in the Fashion District, beauty and wellness brands that grew on social media, and retailers with storefronts on Melrose Avenue, Abbot Kinney or in the Arts District who want online and in store sales to share one customer record.
Our team of 80+ works from Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi and has delivered 200+ projects across the UAE and the US. Los Angeles clients work with us remotely: discovery, design critiques and sprint demos happen by video call, and each decision is confirmed in writing. The code, the listings and your customer data stay in your accounts.

What an LA shopping app can include
Many Los Angeles brands built their audience on Instagram and TikTok before they had a store. Their customers arrive from a creator's video, want to buy in seconds and expect to be told the moment a sold out piece comes back. A good app turns that audience into owned customers you can reach without paying for every impression.
The features below are ordered the way LA consumer brands usually prioritize them: drops and notifications first, then content and loyalty, then store tools for brands with physical locations. A first release only includes what your product data and fulfillment partners can support on day one, and California rules on warnings, subscriptions and privacy are built into the flows rather than patched on later.
Countdown pages, early access for members, waitlists for sold out sizes and push alerts the moment stock lands. The backend holds inventory in a short reservation while a shopper checks out, so a hyped release does not oversell. Queue rules can limit quantities per customer to keep resellers from emptying a drop.
Releases that sell out cleanly instead of crashing or overselling.
Short videos, lookbooks and creator edits with products tagged inside them, so a viewer taps straight to size selection. Each creator can have a page and a code, and sales are attributed to them for commission reporting. Sponsored content carries clear disclosure labels.
Content that converts inside your own app, not only on social platforms.
Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal and buy now, pay later options where your payment provider supports them, all through PCI DSS compliant processing. California sales tax is calculated by delivery address, since district taxes mean the rate in one LA County city can differ from the next. Shipping costs and estimated tax appear before the final tap, so totals never surprise the customer.
A checkout short enough for an impulse purchase.
For products that need a Proposition 65 warning, the app shows it on the product page or before purchase for California addresses, following current OEHHA rules for online sales. Your compliance team controls which products carry which warning from the admin console.
Warnings handled per product, without cluttering every screen.
Replenishment for skincare, supplements or basics, with clear renewal terms, consent captured and stored, reminder notices and cancellation inside the app. California's Automatic Renewal Law, updated in July 2025, expects online sign ups to be cancelable online, and the flow is built that way.
Recurring revenue that does not invite complaints.
Points for purchases, reviews and referrals, member tiers with early drop access and birthday rewards. Members scan the app at your Los Angeles stores and pop-ups so in person purchases count toward the same balance.
Loyal fans rewarded wherever they buy.
Spanish is the obvious second language for many LA brands, and some serve Korean, Chinese or Armenian speaking communities in Koreatown, the San Gabriel Valley or Glendale. We structure product data so translations sit beside the English source and can be added language by language. Push notifications follow each customer's chosen language as well.
New communities reached without rebuilding the app.
Staff at a pop-up in Silver Lake or a flagship on Melrose can look up a customer, check stock across locations and send an item to the customer's home if their size is not on hand. Sales from events flow into the same orders and loyalty records.
Events and stores feeding one customer history.
Delivery estimates draw on carrier data and your warehouse location, whether stock ships from a downtown studio or an Inland Empire fulfillment center. Customers in Santa Monica, Pasadena or Long Beach each see a realistic arrival date, tracking inside the app and a simple path to change the address before the parcel leaves.
Fewer where is my order messages to your support team.
Your team schedules drops, edits collections, sends segmented push messages and moderates reviews from a web console, with permissions for merchandisers, marketers and support staff.
Marketing runs the app without waiting on developers.
Who this is for
Commerce in Los Angeles runs from wholesale showrooms downtown to influencer brands that have never had a storefront. Goods move through the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach and warehouses in the Inland Empire, while customers are spread across a county where a cross town delivery can take hours in traffic. The right first release depends on where your sales come from now. Many LA brands also sell through wholesale accounts, and keeping those orders separate from the consumer app protects trade pricing.
Labels that design and produce around the Fashion District often sell most of their stock through limited releases. Their app needs drops, waitlists, size data customers trust and a returns flow that does not erase margins. We usually connect to an existing Shopify or headless store so one product catalog serves web and app alike. Many labels also run sample sales and showroom events, and the app can manage invitations and early access for those.
Drop traffic decides much of the architecture.
Brands with a large following and a replenishment product benefit most from subscriptions, shoppable content and creator attribution. Ingredient lists, warnings and claims need careful handling, so product content is structured for review before it publishes. Customer reviews and before and after content are handled under the same moderation rules, so nothing misleading slips into a product page.
Shops from Venice to Los Feliz want online orders, pickup and loyalty linked to their point of sale. Customers often live across town, so the app offers delivery from whichever store has stock and pickup at the store they pass on the way home. Tourists visiting Los Angeles can keep shopping with you after they fly home, so international shipping rules can be added in a later release.
Store data quality sets the pace here.
Some founders want a marketplace of independent LA makers or vintage sellers rather than a single brand. That means seller onboarding, payouts through a payment platform designed for marketplaces, listing moderation and dispute tools. We scope marketplace rules carefully, because they shape trust more than any screen. Sellers based around Los Angeles can also offer local pickup from their studio, which keeps shipping costs down for nearby buyers.
Marketplaces need their own terms and payout setup.
How we work together
Brands launching their first app usually choose a fixed scope release built around their next major drop, then move to a monthly retainer so features keep pace with the product calendar. Larger brands with several labels sometimes take a dedicated team. All work is remote, with weekly demos by video call and a shared board your team can see at any time. Cost and timing depend mostly on drop traffic, the number of integrations, marketplace features and how many languages launch at once. We also hand over documentation and admin training, so your own team can run daily operations without us.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
We pick native or cross platform code to match your animation and video needs, and connect to Shopify, a headless commerce platform or your own backend. Video, images and product data are served through a CDN so the app stays fast on busy release days. Analytics and crash reporting run in your accounts from the first build.

03Marketing and tracking
It is set after discovery, based on integrations and drop traffic.
A brand already on Shopify with a clean catalog moves faster than one migrating platforms or adding a marketplace. Load testing for high traffic drops and California compliance review also take time. We agree the timeline once discovery shows which systems are involved, then write it into the scope with a members only soft launch before the public release. Product photography and copy often need work before they look right in an app, so we flag content gaps early and plan around your creative team's schedule.
