About AppNatively
From the official readme · v0.0.8Description
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_pluginsfilter.

External Services

Frequently asked questions
Which e-commerce systems are supported?

Which form plugins are supported?
FormGent, Fluent Forms, Contact Form 7, WPForms, Ninja Forms, Formidable, Forminator, Everest Forms, SureForms, WeForms, HappyForms, Gutena Forms, and Bit Form.
Which directory plugins are supported?
Directorist, GeoDirectory, HivePress, Business Directory Plugin, Classified Listing, and aDirectory.
How do I connect my site to AppNatively Studio?
Open AppNatively in your dashboard and copy the connection key, then go to AppNatively Studio, open your app, and visit Settings → Website Connection. Select WordPress, enter your site URL, paste the key, click Check Connection, and save.
What is the connection key for?
It authorizes AppNatively Studio to read which of your plugins are active, so it can offer you the right integrations. Without it that list is not exposed to anyone. Treat it like a password. You can issue a new one at any time from the settings screen — Studio will need the new key pasted in before it can read your site again.
How do I turn the API off?
Open AppNatively in your dashboard and uncheck Answer requests from the mobile app. Every endpoint stops responding immediately and your settings are kept, so you can switch it back on without reconfiguring anything.
Someone has an app session I want to end. What do I do?
Two options. Changing an account’s password signs that one account out of the app everywhere. To end every session on the site at once, use Sign out all app users on the settings screen.
Do I need to configure the integrations?
Barely. AppNatively detects the supported plugins that are active on your site automatically. All you do is choose which one to use for each category on the Website Connection screen — handy when, for example, you have more than one form plugin installed.
The plugin list is empty or my plugin is missing. What should I do?
Confirm the connection first — the plugin list only loads once your site URL has been verified and Studio has a valid connection key. If the connection is fine, make sure the plugin is active on your site and that it appears in the supported integrations list above, then reload the Website Connection page.
Can I add support for another plugin?
Yes. Use the craf_appna_integrated_plugins filter to register your own plugin with a slug, category, label, and (if the plugin folder and main file names differ) a file path. Add its slug to the matching category with craf_appna_ecommerce_integrations, craf_appna_form_integrations, or craf_appna_directory_integrations so requests naming it are accepted.
Where can I find the plugin repository?
The source code and public repository for this plugin is available on GitHub at AppNatively.
