Step by step
How to turn a Sharetribe marketplace into an app
Five steps from your marketplace URL to a live app. You keep running the marketplace in Console throughout.
-
Start from your live marketplace
Walk both sides on a phone: search, a listing, the inbox, a booking or purchase, and a provider creating a listing. Sharetribe is mobile-ready, so most marketplaces need no fixes here.
-
Add the native layer
Paste your marketplace URL into Twinr, ideally on your own custom domain. It adds a native tab bar, push, persistent login for both sides, camera uploads for listing photos and analytics.
-
Customize and test both sides
Set your icon, splash screen and tabs, then install the preview build with a customer and a provider account. Book, message, pay with a Stripe test card and publish a listing from the phone.
-
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.
-
Bring both sides in
Start with your most active providers, who gain most from instant alerts, then your regular customers. Promote the app with a banner on your landing page, Sharetribe email notifications and your newsletter.

Good to know
What to check before you launch
A few things need a check on a Sharetribe marketplace. Here's what they are and how to handle each.
Stripe checkout is for real-world transactions
Rentals, bookings, services and physical products can be paid through Sharetribe's Stripe checkout. Digital goods used inside the app usually need in-app purchase.
What Twinr covers: we review your listing types and payment flow with you before submission.
User content needs reporting and blocking
Apps with listings, messages or reviews from users must let people report content and block users, and you must act on reports.
What Twinr covers: Sharetribe's user and listing moderation in Console carries over. Make sure reporting is reachable from listings and profiles.
Accounts must be deletable in the app
If people can sign up in the app, Apple requires a way to start account deletion from inside it.
What Twinr covers: account deletion from user settings is available in Sharetribe. We check it's reachable in the app before you submit.
A website 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 camera access, which is what review looks for.

Columns describe what each route is, not figures Twinr has measured. Checked 25 October 2026.
01 Does Twinr work with Sharetribe?
Yes. Twinr builds native iOS and Android apps that load your live Sharetribe marketplace, so Sharetribe stays the source of truth for listings, transactions, payments and content, while Twinr adds native navigation, push notifications and analytics on top.
02 Does it work with both the no-code and Developer Platform versions?
Yes. Twinr works from your marketplace URL, so a no-code marketplace managed in Console and a customized web template on the Developer Platform both work the same way.
03 Do bookings, purchases and Stripe payouts work in the app?
Yes. Customers book or buy through your real Sharetribe transaction process, Stripe handles the payment and your commission, and providers are paid out as they are on the web.
04 Can customers and providers use the same app?
Yes. Both sides sign in to the same app and see what your marketplace shows them, from a customer's bookings and inbox to a provider's listings, calendar and payouts.
05 Can providers create listings and upload photos in the app?
Yes. Sharetribe's listing editor works in the app, and providers can add photos from their camera or photo library.
06 How do message and booking notifications work?
Sharetribe's email notifications keep working. In the app, you can send campaign and segmented pushes from the Twinr dashboard, and on the Developer Platform we can connect event pushes, like a new message or booking request, to your marketplace during setup.
07 If I change something in Console, do I have to resubmit the app?
No. Listing fields, branding, content pages and settings appear in the app immediately, with no new build and no store review. Only changes to the native shell, such as the app name or icon, need a resubmission.
08 Who owns the app?
You do. Apps are published under your own Apple Developer and Google Play Console accounts, so the listings, reviews, users and data belong to you.
09 How much does a Sharetribe mobile app cost?
Twinr plans start at $25 per month, with unlimited push notifications and no share of your transactions. A custom native app built on the Sharetribe APIs typically costs tens of thousands of dollars per platform, plus ongoing upkeep.
