Short answer. Make your site work well on a phone, then use a website to app converter to wrap it in an Android app. Add your logo, turn on push notifications, download the AAB file and publish it on Google Play from your own developer account.
Before you start: is your site mobile-ready?
- Open your site on your phone. Text should be readable without zooming, and buttons easy to tap.
- Check that sign-in, checkout and contact forms work on the phone.
- Make sure the site loads over
https://.
Most sites built with WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace or Webflow pass these checks already.
Step by step

Go to the app builder and enter your website address and app name.
Brand it

Add app features
Turn on push notifications to bring customers back, a bottom tab bar for your main pages, and an offline page for when the connection drops.
Test it on your phone
Install the APK on an Android phone and go through your most important pages, such as products, booking and checkout.
Publish on Google Play
Create a Google Play developer account, upload the AAB, add screenshots and a privacy policy, and submit. Our Play Store checklist lists every step.

Questions
How long does it take to convert a website to an app?
Building the app takes a few minutes. Google Play reviews a new app before it goes live, which usually takes from a few hours to several days.
Will I need to rebuild the app when my website changes?
No. The app loads your live website, so new products, posts and prices appear in the app automatically.
Can I make an iPhone app this way?
No, this converter makes Android apps. iPhone users can add your site to their home screen as a web app; our free PWA builder helps you set that up.
