Customerexperience is key to retail app success. However, its dimensions and impact on retailer performance have beenthe subject of only a limited number of studies. This research builds on existing customer retail app experienceliterature by considering four dimensions as precursors of satisfaction with the retailers’ app and customerloyalty (cognitive, affective, relational and sensorial). Data were collected from a sample of 545 retailer app usersand analysed using PLS-SEM. The results demonstrate that the affective dimension has the most influence andthey highlight the importance of the sensory experience, which even surpasses the cognitive experience. Theeffect of the relational dimension on customer satisfaction, meanwhile, could not be positively confirmed.Analysis of the moderating effect of gender, age and device type used identifies effects that have not, until now,been demonstrated in current literature.
