Turn your PrestaShop store into a mobile app

Build a PrestaShop app without writing code

Native iOS and Android apps built from the store you already run. Your theme, modules and PrestaShop checkout come with it, and push notifications are built in.

What carries over

Everything you’ve built on PrestaShop, working in your app

Nothing is rebuilt from the Webservice API, so no module gets left behind.

Your theme

Classic, Hummingbird and custom themes render as they do on the web.

Your checkout and payment modules

PrestaShop Checkout, Stripe, PayPal, Mollie and your carriers, on your real checkout.

Every module you run

Reviews, loyalty, search and marketing modules from PrestaShop Addons keep running as installed.

Combinations and features

Product combinations, features and customisation fields come through without re-modelling.

Cart rules and price rules

Vouchers, cart rules and catalog price rules apply exactly as on your site.

Accounts and customer groups

Order history and group pricing carry over, and shoppers stay signed in.

Step by step

How to turn a PrestaShop 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 your payment module and a voucher. 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 the PrestaShop back office reaches the app instantly.

Features to jobs

What a PrestaShop app needs, and which Twinr feature covers it

Drops and launches

Push lands on the lock screen and opens the collection itself, not your homepage.

Push campaigns and automations →

Cart recovery and restocks

Automated pushes for abandoned carts and back-in-stock items, with no cost per send.

App-only offers

Build app-only pages with native screens, pair them with PrestaShop cart rules, then promote them to app users only.

Native screens and app-only pages →

Shoppers who stay signed in

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

Native capabilities in every build →

Browsing without signal

Offline mode keeps visited pages readable and shows your brand instead of a browser error.

How the native shell works →

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

Email and SMS still matter. Push reaches the lock screen in seconds, opens straight into the product, and with Twinr it's included on every plan.

You run the store. Twinr runs the app.

No second CMS. Your team keeps working in the PrestaShop back office, and the app follows.

Good to know

What to check before you launch

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

Digital products through PrestaShop 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 PrestaShop checkout for physical products, which are exempt, and use in-app purchase for digital goods.

Multistore setups

With multistore, each shop can run on its own domain.

What Twinr covers: plan one app per shop you want in the stores, or point a single app at your main shop.

Caching and security modules

Caching, firewall or bot-protection modules can block the app or serve it a stale cart.

What Twinr covers: test in the preview build and exclude the app from those rules.

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 PrestaShop?

Yes. Twinr builds native iOS and Android apps that load your live PrestaShop storefront, so PrestaShop 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 PrestaShop theme work in the app?

Yes. The app loads your live store, so Classic, Hummingbird and custom themes render in the app as they do on the web.

03

Do my PrestaShop modules keep working?

Modules that run on your storefront keep working, because the app renders that storefront. That covers reviews, loyalty, search and marketing modules. Test anything unusual in the preview build.

04

Does my payment module work in the app?

Yes. Customers check out through your real PrestaShop checkout, with PrestaShop Checkout, Stripe, PayPal, Mollie or whichever module you use, plus your carriers and tax rules.

05

Does it work with multiple languages and currencies?

Yes. Languages and currencies work in one app, because the app follows the language and currency your store serves.

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 modules 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 PrestaShop mobile app cost?

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