Unbound Commerce is a leading provider of mobile and social commerce solutions, designed for retailers seeking to reach their customers anytime and anywhere. Unbound’s unique approach treats mobile as a powerful new channel, not merely as a smaller version of the standard site, or as a function to be outsourced. Unbound customers benefit from a solution directly under their control and integrated into their existing e-commerce operations.
Mobile Presence for Yahoo! Merchants is a mobile website for your Yahoo! store. It's a full version of your current product catalog, formatted for every kind of mobile device. Our platform retrieves your product information from your store and generates mobile optimized web pages (products as well as checkout pages) for your store. Any new orders placed on your mobile site are automatically placed into the Yahoo! backend. Hence you do not have to do anything differently to process mobile orders. Mobile Presence for Yahoo! Merchants is NOT an iPhone or Android Client application. If you are interested in a client application, please send us an e-mail.
Both basic and premium template offer a full catalog and checkout, dashboard control of banner images and main navigation. Premium offers some extra features for your mobile site. Please click here for a visual guide of both templates.

After you sign up for our service, we need you grant us access to your Yahoo! store. This is how to grant access:
After we receive store access it will take about 5 business days for a basic build and 12 business days for a premium build.
The mobile redirect is a javascript file we place on your desktop site. It detects mobile web traffic and sends it to your mobile website. The mobile redirect is deployed after we finish building your site and have tested to make sure it is working properly.
We build your mobile site by retrieving your product and category information from catalog.xml (only available for Merchant Solutions Stores) or objinfo.xml (for Legacy and Merchant Solutions Stores). Your mobile site pulls the catalog information once a day automatically and mirrors any changes you have made to your categories or products.
Orders placed on your mobile site are automatically placed in the Yahoo! backend infrastructure. You will be following the same process you normally follow to ship orders placed via your desktop site.
The section pages you create on your Yahoo! store are automatically retrieved and created on mobile site from your desktop site.
