About Mallnest
Mallnest is like a mall, but on your phone: each store is a shop with its own brand, colors and products. You browse, pick the one you like and from then on the app opens straight into it, as if it were that store's own app. If you want to see others, you can always go back to the list.
Every store runs on Shopify, so products, stock and prices are always up to date, and you pay through Shopify's checkout: your card details are handled by the store's payment provider, never by Mallnest.
If you're not sure what you're after, just tell the personal shopper in your own words: "a gift under $20" or "coffee for filter brewing". The AI searches the stores' real products and shows you the matching options, in one store or in all of them at once.
For businesses, Mallnest is one more sales channel: they keep their Shopify store as always and add a mobile shop inside a shared mall, set up from the Mallnest Business app.
Many stores. One place.
A mall of stores
Every store in one list with search. The one you pick becomes your default and the app opens straight into it.
Every store with its brand
Its own logo, colors, banners and collections: walking into a store feels like using its own app.
AI personal shopper
Ask for what you want in your own words and the AI finds it among real products, in one store or in all of them.
Secure Shopify checkout
Payment, shipping and confirmation emails are handled by each store's Shopify checkout. Mallnest never sees your card details.

How it works
Two apps that talk to each other: the business sets up its shop in Mallnest Business and the customer sees it and buys in Mallnest. Shopify keeps doing what it does best: products, stock, payments and orders.
- 1
The business connects its Shopify
From Mallnest Business it authorizes access to its store. Products, prices and stock stay in sync without entering anything by hand.
- 2
Sets up its shop
It picks its logo, colors, banners and featured collections, with AI-made text suggestions, and sends it for review.
- 3
It appears in the mall
Once approved, the shop joins the Mallnest list and can be shared with a link or a QR code.
- 4
The customer buys
They pick the store, which becomes their default, or ask the personal shopper for what they want. They pay in that store's Shopify checkout.
Tech specs
Mallnest is an ImagoStack project designed end to end: two native apps sharing code, our own serverless backend and the integration with Shopify and an AI model. These are the pieces of its architecture and the role of each one.
- React Native + Expo
- TypeScript (monorepo)
- Shopify Storefront API
- Shopify Admin API (OAuth)
- AWS Lambda
- Amazon DynamoDB and S3
- Amazon Cognito
- Google Gemini
- Android App Links + Play Install Referrer
- Shopify Checkout Kit
- App
React Native + Expo
Both apps, Mallnest and Mallnest Business, for Android.
- Architecture
TypeScript (monorepo)
A single repository with both apps and the shared packages: components, theming system and API clients.
- Native & device
Android App Links + Play Install Referrer
Each store's link or QR opens the app straight into that store; if it isn't installed, it goes through Google Play and still lands on the store after installing.
- AI & machine learning
Google Gemini
The personal shopper and text suggestions, with a chain of fallback models and the app still working if the AI is unavailable.
- Backend
AWS Lambda
The backend: store list, configuration, approval and the bridge to the AI.
- Data
Amazon DynamoDB and S3
Each store's data, with a flexible list order, and brand images.
- Auth & security
Amazon Cognito
Sign-in for businesses, with email or Google.
- Integrations
Shopify Storefront API
Each store's catalog, cart and checkout, over GraphQL.
Shopify Admin API (OAuth)
Each business's connection to its store, with the permission kept only on the server.
Shopify Checkout Kit
Payment happens in each store's Shopify checkout, inside the app.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Mallnest cost?
For shoppers, nothing: the app is free and needs no account. For businesses, joining and setting up their shop is free too; they only need their own Shopify store.
Who sells to me and who charges?
Each store. Mallnest is the shop window; you buy in the chosen store's Shopify checkout, and that store is the seller, handling payment, shipping and invoicing.
Does Mallnest see my card details?
No. Payment is processed by the provider each store has set up in Shopify. Mallnest never receives or stores your card details.
How does the personal shopper work?
You type what you want in your own words and an AI looks for it among the stores' real products, in one or in all of them. If the AI is unavailable, the app falls back to the regular search.
I have a Shopify store, how do I join?
Download Mallnest Business, connect your store, customize your shop and send it for review. Your Shopify store keeps working the same: Mallnest is one more channel.
Why is every store reviewed?
Because every store lives in the same app. Reviewing each shop before publishing it keeps the mall trustworthy for shoppers.
