About us

Two family names, joined.

Bantri is Bandak and Fatayri — and a company that turns Shopify stores into native mobile apps their owners can actually run themselves.

The name

Bantri is two family names joined into one — Bandak and Fatayri. It is not a word, which is why you will not find it in a dictionary, and it is the reason the whole identity is built on the idea of two parts making one thing.

You can see it everywhere once you know: two colours that always appear together and never blend into a gradient. Two halves of the wordmark — ban in indigo, tri in ink. Two letters in the app icon, a b and a t, one from each family.

It is a small thing, but it is honest about what this is: a company built by two families for people who also run something of their own.

What we build

Bantri turns a Shopify store into a native iOS and Android app. Not a website in a shell — a real app that draws its screens on the phone, talks to Shopify directly, and hands checkout to Shopify’s own sheet so the merchant’s payments, taxes and discounts work exactly as they already do.

Around that we build the things Shopify does not give a native app: loyalty and points, push notifications, shoppable video, games, analytics, and an AI assistant that knows the merchant’s own catalogue.

The part we are most proud of

Most app builders hand a merchant a form and ask them to imagine the result. We give them their own app on a phone, inside their own Shopify Admin, and let them edit it the way they already edit their theme — click a section, change it, drag it, save. The change reaches every installed app in seconds, with no app-store release.

It is the difference between selling someone a service and handing them a tool.

Arabic, properly

We are built for the Middle East as much as anywhere else. That means genuine right-to-left — the whole interface mirrors, not just the words. Navigation, arrows, the side a drawer opens from, the way mixed Arabic and Latin text sits on a line.

Nearly every app builder claims Arabic support and means translated strings in a left-to-right layout. Merchants notice the difference in about two seconds, and so do their customers.

What we believe

  • No cut of your sales. A flat monthly price, and 0% success fees on every plan. If your app has a good month, that is your good month.
  • You own it. The app is published under your own Apple and Google accounts. If you ever stop working with us, the app, its reviews and its customers stay yours.
  • Show, do not claim. We would rather demonstrate a thing than write an adjective about it.
  • Say what is true today. We are early. We will tell you what we have shipped and what we have not, because you will find out either way.

Not the other Bantri

If you searched for “Bantri” and found a company in India, that is a different business with a similar name and no connection to us. Bantri is a Shopify app company — you can reach us at hello@bantri.co and our only website is bantri.co.
