Build a Shopify app without writing code
Native iOS and Android apps built from the store you already run. Your theme, your Shopify apps and Shopify Checkout come with it, and push notifications are built in.

Your theme and Liquid
Sections, blocks and custom code your team or agency wrote render as they do on the web.
Shopify Checkout
Shop Pay, your payment methods, tax setup and checkout extensions, on your real checkout.
Every app on your store
Reviews, loyalty, subscriptions, upsells and support widgets keep running as installed.
Metafields and metaobjects
Size guides, ingredient panels and custom content come through without re-modelling.
Discounts and Functions
Automatic discounts, cart transforms and delivery rules apply exactly as on your site.
Customer accounts
Order history and loyalty balances carry over, and shoppers stay signed in.
Step by step
How to turn a Shopify store into an app
Five steps from store URL to a live app. Your team keeps selling throughout.
-
Start from your live store
Open your storefront 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.
-
Add the native layer
Paste your Shopify domain into Twinr. It reads your logo, colours and menu, and adds a native tab bar, push, persistent login, offline browsing and analytics.
-
Customize and test a real order
Set your icon, splash screen and tabs, then install the preview build and place a full order with Shop Pay and a discount code. App-specific issues show up here, not in store review.
-
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.
-
Engage and grow
Send drops, back-in-stock alerts and abandoned-cart reminders by push, and track push-driven orders in Twinr analytics. Every change in Shopify admin reaches the app instantly.

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

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.

Good to know
What to check before you launch
A few things don't carry over automatically. Here's what they are and how to handle each.
Digital products through Shopify Checkout
Apple requires in-app purchase for digital goods consumed inside an iOS app, so selling downloads through Shopify Checkout can be rejected.
What Twinr covers: keep Shopify Checkout for physical products, which are exempt, and use in-app purchase for digital goods.
Desktop-only scripts and pop-ups
Anything your theme only loads above a desktop breakpoint won't run inside the app.
What Twinr covers: test in the preview build and serve a mobile equivalent from your theme.
Fonts in native screens
Fonts set in Twinr apply to native UI. Pages served by Shopify keep your theme's fonts.
What Twinr covers: set the same family in your theme settings so the two match.
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 Shopify?
Yes. Twinr works with Shopify. Twinr builds native iOS and Android apps that load your live Shopify storefront, so Shopify 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 Shopify theme work in the app?
Yes. The app loads your live storefront, so your theme, sections, blocks and custom Liquid render in the app as they do on the web. A theme change you publish today is in the app today.
03 Do my Shopify apps keep working inside the app?
Apps that run on your storefront keep working, because the app renders that storefront. That covers reviews, subscriptions, loyalty, upsells, returns and support widgets such as Klaviyo, Yotpo, ReCharge, Rebuy, Loop and Gorgias. Test anything unusual in the preview build.
04 Does Shopify Checkout work in the app?
Yes. Customers check out through your real Shopify Checkout, with Shop Pay, your payment methods, tax setup, discounts and subscription flows intact. No payment routing moves to a third party.
05 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. Some Shopify app builders charge a share of in-app revenue on top of their monthly fee, so check that before you compare prices.
06 If I update my Shopify store, do I have to resubmit the app?
No. Products, collections, prices, theme changes and new Shopify apps 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.
07 Can I run app-only products or discounts?
Yes. You can build app-only pages with Twinr native screens, and use Shopify discount codes or collections reserved for app customers, then promote them by push.
08 Does it work with Shopify Markets?
Yes. Multi-currency and multi-language storefronts work in one app, because the app follows the market your storefront serves.
09 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.
10 How much does a Shopify mobile app cost?
Twinr plans start at $25 per month, with unlimited push notifications and no revenue share. A custom native Shopify app built on the Storefront API typically costs tens of thousands of dollars per platform, plus ongoing upkeep.
