How it’s built

A real app, not a prototype.

  • One codebase

    React Native and Expo, shipping to iOS and Android from the same TypeScript.

  • Real payments

    Stripe’s native payment sheet in the app, with a fallback for the web build.

  • An existing back end

    The app talks to a Magento marketplace, so the catalogue, orders and sellers stay where they already live.

  • Guest-first

    Signing in is optional. When you do, the session is kept in the phone’s secure storage.

Questions

Good to know.

Do I need an account to book?

No. You can browse, book and pay as a guest. Signing in is optional.

Which phones does it run on?

iOS and Android, from one codebase. It also runs in a browser.

How do customers pay?

By card, through Stripe, inside the app.

Do sellers need a separate app?

No. The Seller Hub is a tab in the same app: sales, orders, products, customers, store profile, tax settings and invoice templates.
