The app loads your live store, so nothing is rebuilt and nothing gets left behind.

UPI, cards, wallets and cash on delivery, with your delivery and tax settings, on your real checkout.

Plugins you’ve installed

Plugins from the Dukaan plugin store keep running as installed.

Products and variants

Variants, sizes and product attributes come through without re-modelling.

Coupons and offers

Coupon codes and discounts apply exactly as on your store.

Step by step

How to turn a Dukaan store into an app

Five steps from store URL to a live app. Your team keeps selling throughout.

  1. Start from your live store

    Open your store on a phone and walk product, cart and checkout. The app renders the same pages, so anything broken on mobile web gets fixed in your theme first.

  2. Add the native layer

    Paste your store URL into Twinr. It reads your logo, colours and menu, and adds a native tab bar, push, persistent login, offline browsing and analytics.

  3. Customize and test a real order

    Set your icon, splash screen and tabs, then install the preview build and place a full order with UPI or cash on delivery and a coupon. App-specific issues show up here, not in store review.

  4. Publish to both stores

    Submitted under your own Apple and Google developer accounts. On Premium, the Twinr team handles the listing, screenshots and review responses.

  5. Engage and grow

    Send new arrivals, back-in-stock alerts and abandoned-cart reminders by push, and track push-driven orders in Twinr analytics. Every change in your Dukaan dashboard reaches the app instantly.

Shoppers who stay signed in

Persistent login keeps accounts, addresses and loyalty balances ready, so checkout is a tap away.

Knowing what the app earns

Sessions, retention and push opens tracked natively, so app shoppers are measured apart from web.

What Twinr analytics measures →

Push notifications

The channel you own, without the per-send bill

Good to know

What to check before you launch

A few things need a check on Dukaan. Here’s what they are and how to handle each.

Digital products through Dukaan checkout

Apple requires in-app purchase for digital goods used inside an iOS app, so selling downloads or digital access through your checkout can be rejected.

What Twinr covers: keep Dukaan checkout for physical products, which are exempt, and use in-app purchase for digital goods.

The app uses your mobile layout

Most Dukaan shoppers already buy on a phone, and the app shows that same mobile store.

What Twinr covers: check your mobile store end to end first, so the app looks as good as possible.

WhatsApp and chat buttons

Buttons that open WhatsApp or a chat widget should hand over to the right app on the phone.

What Twinr covers: test them in the preview build before you launch.

A store in a frame is not enough

Apple rejects apps that offer little beyond a mobile website.

What Twinr covers: native navigation, push, persistent login and offline browsing, which is what review looks for.

Competitor details as published on their own sites, checked 16 October 2026.

01

Does Twinr work with Dukaan?

Yes. Twinr builds native iOS and Android apps that load your live Dukaan storefront, so Dukaan stays the source of truth for products, pricing, checkout and content, while Twinr adds native navigation, push notifications, offline browsing and analytics on top.

02

Will my Dukaan theme work in the app?

Yes. The app loads your live store, so your theme, banners and custom sections look as they do on mobile today.

03

Do Dukaan plugins keep working?

Plugins that run on your storefront keep working, because the app renders that storefront. Test anything unusual in the preview build.

04

Do UPI and cash on delivery work in the app?

Yes. Customers check out through your real Dukaan checkout, with UPI, cards, wallets or cash on delivery, plus your delivery settings.

05

How is this different from Dukaan’s own app options?

Twinr builds a standalone app from your live store, published under your own name and your own Apple and Google developer accounts, with push notifications and analytics included.

06

Does Twinr take a percentage of in-app sales?

No. Twinr is a flat monthly plan with no revenue share and no per-order fee.

07

If I update my store, do I have to resubmit the app?

No. Products, prices, theme changes and new plugins appear in the app immediately, with no new build and no store review. Only changes to the native shell, such as the app name, icon or a new device permission, need a resubmission.

08

Who owns the app and the store listings?

You do. The apps are published under your own Apple Developer and Google Play Console accounts, so the listings, ratings, installs and customer data belong to you.

09

How much does a Dukaan mobile app cost?

Twinr plans start at $25 per month, with unlimited push notifications and no revenue share. A custom native Dukaan app built on the platform’s APIs typically costs tens of thousands of dollars per platform, plus ongoing upkeep.
