Turn your WooCommerce store into a mobile app

Build a WooCommerce app without writing code

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

What carries over

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

Nothing is rebuilt from the REST API, so no plugin gets left behind.

Your theme and page builder

Block themes, Elementor, Divi and custom templates render as they do on the web.

Your checkout and gateways

WooPayments, Stripe, PayPal and your tax and shipping rules, on your real checkout.

Every plugin on your store

Subscriptions, memberships, bookings, reviews and product add-ons keep running as installed.

Variations and custom fields

Variable products, ACF fields and size guides come through without re-modelling.

Coupons and pricing rules

Coupons, bulk discounts and dynamic pricing apply exactly as on your site.

Customer accounts

Order history and saved addresses carry over, and shoppers stay signed in.

Step by step

How to turn a WooCommerce 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 gateway and a coupon. If a caching or security plugin blocks the app, it shows 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 WordPress admin reaches the app instantly.

Features to jobs

What a WooCommerce 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 WooCommerce coupons, 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.

Good to know

What to check before you launch

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

Digital products through WooCommerce checkout

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

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

Caching and security plugins

Firewall, bot-protection and page-caching rules can block the app or serve it stale cart pages.

What Twinr covers: test in the preview build, and allowlist the app in tools such as Wordfence or Cloudflare.

Your hosting sets the speed

The app loads your live pages, so a slow host means a slow app.

What Twinr covers: page caching, image optimisation and a CDN speed up the site and the app at once.

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 WooCommerce?

Yes. Twinr builds native iOS and Android apps that load your live WooCommerce store, so WordPress and WooCommerce stay 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 WordPress theme work in the app?

Yes. The app loads your live store, so block themes, page builders such as Elementor and Divi, and custom templates render in the app as they do on the web.

03

Do my WooCommerce plugins keep working?

Plugins that run on your storefront keep working, because the app renders that storefront. That covers subscriptions, memberships, bookings, product add-ons, reviews and wishlists. Test anything unusual in the preview build.

04

Does my payment gateway work in the app?

Yes. Customers check out through your real WooCommerce checkout, with WooPayments, Stripe, PayPal or whichever gateway you use, plus your tax and shipping rules. 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.

06

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.

07

Will caching or security plugins cause problems?

Usually not. If a firewall, bot-protection or caching rule blocks the app or serves it stale pages, allowlist the app in the plugin or CDN settings. You will see it in the preview build, before launch.

08

Does it work with multilingual and multi-currency stores?

Yes. Plugins such as WPML, Polylang and currency switchers work in one app, because the app follows the language and currency your store 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 WooCommerce mobile app cost?

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