MStore API is a crucial WordPress plugin developed by InspireUI. It acts as the bridge between your WooCommerce store and a mobile app (specifically those built using FluxStore or FluxBuilder).
Think of it as the "translator" that takes your website's products, categories, and orders and turns them into a format that a native iOS or Android app can understand and display perfectly.
Data Synchronization: It ensures that your mobile app and website stay in sync. If you update a price on your WordPress dashboard, it updates on the app instantly.
No-Code Integration: You don't need to write API code. Once the plugin is active, you can use the FluxBuilder drag-and-drop tool to design your app.
Deep WooCommerce Support: It supports complex e-commerce features that the standard WordPress REST API often struggles with, such as Product Variations (sizes/colors), Shipping Methods, and Coupons.
Advanced User Features: Enables social logins (Facebook, Google, Apple), push notifications via OneSignal or Firebase, and real-time order tracking for your customers.
The MStore API is usually part of a three-step process to launch an app:
WordPress Side: You install the MStore API plugin (Free) on your website.
Design Side: You use FluxBuilder (Cloud-based tool) to customize the app's look and feel without coding.
App Side: You use the FluxStore source code (Premium) to compile and submit your final app to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
MStore API Plugin: Free to download on the WordPress.org repository.
MStore Pro / FluxStore: These are the premium mobile app templates found on CodeCanyon (Envato). They typically cost between $39 and $79 for a lifetime license with updates.
FluxBuilder: Offers a free tier for basic design and premium tiers for advanced features and cloud-build services.
