Dog and Hunt Supply has specialised in dog hunting equipment since 2015. Its founder and owner, Summer Reynolds, grew up hunting with her father and now hunts with her husband and son. The catalogue reflects that: Garmin and Dogtra tracking systems, briar-proof chaps and boots, knives, trapping supplies, and gear for deer, turkey and hog season.
What sets the store apart is that it knows the equipment. A GPS tracking system for a pack of hounds is expensive and fiddly to configure, so Dog and Hunt Supply offers to set up and pair Garmin units before they ship, so the system is ready to use when it arrives.
Gear like this gets added to and replaced: another collar, a replacement antenna, a new pair of chaps before the season opens. Until 2025 the store sold all of it without an app.
From trial to the App Store in six weeks
Dog and Hunt Supply started its Evlop trial on 3 March 2025. Version 1.0 was on the App Store on 16 April, 44 days later. It was the store's first app.
The app is built from the Shopify store the team already ran, so products, prices and stock come from the same catalogue as the website. Evlop's team built the app and submitted it to Apple, and later handled the Google Play submission as well.
The store described the goal plainly on its App Store listing: to serve its customers better and give them an easier way to shop, with the same fast shipping and customer service they get on the site.
The team has kept changes light. Evlop's records show 91 page edits in App Studio and 13 feature changes in total since the store joined. For comparison, some stores on Evlop make more than a thousand edits. This one set the app up and went back to selling.

One order in ten, and a better second season
More than one order in every ten now comes through the app.
A better second season
Fall is when hunters buy, and the app's two fall seasons can be compared directly. September 2025 came five months after launch. A year later, September 2026 brought 17% more app orders and 15% more app revenue.
October 2026 is the highest month with reliable data, at 125 against September 2025's 100.
For a store with a single location, that is a second storefront sitting on customers' phones. A houndsman who bought a tracking system has the store one tap away when he needs the next collar.
| Month | Index |
|---|---|
| August 2025 | 58 |
| September 2025 | 100 |
| September 2026 | 115 |
| October 2026 | 125 |

Two push notifications in twenty months
Most stories about store apps are stories about push notifications. This one has almost none. Evlop's records show Dog and Hunt Supply has sent two since it joined in March 2025.
The orders come anyway. The likeliest reason is the customer. A hound hunter does not need a reminder that the season is coming. He needs the store that already set up his tracking system to be easy to reach when a collar needs replacing. An icon on his home screen does that job.
That also means the store has room to grow the channel. Push notifications are unlimited on Evlop, and automations and app-only offers are there when the team wants them. A note before deer season or ahead of the store's Customer Appreciation sale would reach people who have already put the store on their phone.
For a Shopify merchant weighing up an app, this is the useful part of the story. An app can earn its place with loyal customers and a catalogue they return to, before any campaign is written.
