The problem
Retail Experience Apps
Problem
Store audio that repeats all day
A shopping app or in-store experience that loops the same short playlist wears on shoppers and staff within hours. People start tuning it out, or worse, notice the repeat and associate it with the brand.
With Mubert
Mubert streams realtime generative music in 150+ moods and themes, so the audio keeps changing instead of looping. Your app can also shift intensity while the stream plays.
Problem
Music that ignores the shopping moment
A browsing screen, a flash sale and a checkout step each call for a different energy. Fixed tracks can't follow the shopper, so quiet browsing gets a loud track or a sale gets flat background audio.
With Mubert
Intensity can change while the stream plays, with sub-second latency over WebRTC. Your app can raise the energy for a promotion and lower it at checkout. The 12,000-track library filters by mood, activity or BPM.
Problem
Licensing every shopper's playback
A retail app serves thousands of individual users, and each one streams music. Tracking who played what, and whether that playback is covered, turns into paperwork that product teams have no time to manage.
With Mubert
Your backend creates a customer for each user, with a customer-id and access-token, and their usage counts against your license. Check the plan table on the pricing page for sub-licensing and monetized content.

How it fits your product
Retail experience apps need music that supports browsing without competing for attention. Aim for a mid-tempo groove with light guitar, soft keys and gentle percussion, and keep vocals out so product names and voice prompts stay clear. Energy should rise slightly for sales and checkout screens and relax in quieter aisles or fitting rooms. For in-store sessions that last hours, endless playback avoids repeated loops.
For a shopper-facing app, the Stream mode fits best. Your backend creates a customer for each shopper, which returns a customer-id and access-token, and their usage counts against your license. The app connects over WebRTC with sub-second latency and picks a mood. Intensity can change while the stream plays, so you can lift it near promotions. Use the library for fixed screens like onboarding.

FAQ
Retail Experience Apps
What kind of music works best inside a retail shopping app?
Instrumental music with a steady mid-tempo groove tends to work best, since it stays clear of product audio and voice prompts. The Mubert API covers 150+ genres and moods, so you can match music to a store's character, a department, or a promotion without writing anything by hand.
How do I give each shopper their own music stream in my app?
Your backend creates a customer for every shopper through the Mubert API, which returns a customer-id and access-token. The app uses those credentials to start a realtime stream over WebRTC. Each shopper's usage counts against your license, and like or dislike feedback can personalize the music.
