AppNatively

Description

AppNatively is a powerful, modern plugin for WordPress that bridges your website with the AppNatively mobile app builder. It automatically generates high-performance REST API endpoints for your WordPress data, enabling you to build premium, fast, and fully-synchronized native mobile applications.

Whether you run an online store, collect leads through forms, or publish a directory of listings, AppNatively detects the plugins you already have active and integrates deeply into your setup to power mobile cart operations, product catalogs, order tracking, form submissions, listings, and customer accounts natively.

Key Features

• AppNatively Integration: Connect your site once, then design and customize your mobile app in AppNatively Studio with your live WordPress content.
• You stay in control: A settings screen under AppNatively in your dashboard lets you switch the API off entirely, rotate the key that authorizes Studio, and sign out every app user at once — without deactivating the plugin.
• Automatic Plugin Detection: AppNatively scans your site for supported plugins and lists only the integrations you have active, so you simply pick which one powers each category in your app — e-commerce, forms, and directory.
• Unified E-Commerce API: Standardized endpoints for products, categories, shopping carts, and order details.
• WooCommerce, FluentCart & SureCart Support: Full support for listing products, managing cart actions (add, update, remove, clear), and placing/retrieving orders.
• Form Integrations: Render and submit your existing forms natively inside the app.
• Directory & Listing Integrations: Bring listing directories to mobile with native browsing and detail screens.
• Extensible: Developers can register additional integrations through the craf_appna_integrated_plugins filter.

External Services

This plugin does not send your data anywhere on its own. It publishes REST endpoints on your own site that your mobile app and AppNatively Studio read from. You choose when to connect Studio by giving it the connection key from the settings screen, and you can revoke that key at any time.

Minimum Requirements

• WordPress 6.5 or higher
• PHP 7.4 or higher
• Pretty permalinks enabled (Settings → Permalinks), required by the REST API

2. In your WordPress dashboard, open AppNatively and copy your connection key.
3. Visit AppNatively Studio and sign in.

If you activate a supported plugin after connecting, reload the Website Connection page so the new integration appears in the plugin list.
