How to Build an Ecommerce Website/App Using Thunkable Without Coding?

Questions about Thunkable

I’m trying to build an ecommerce website (or mobile app) using Thunkable, and I want to understand the best approach to create a fully functional online store without coding.

I’m looking to include features like product listings, cart functionality, user login, and payment integration, but I’m not sure how to structure everything using Thunkable’s drag-and-drop components.

Here are a few specific questions I have:

What is the best way to design product listing pages and dynamic content in Thunkable?
How can I implement a shopping cart and manage user sessions?
Are there any recommended APIs or third-party services for payment integration (like Stripe or PayPal)?
How do you handle backend data (products, orders, users)? Should I use Firebase or Airtable?
Can Thunkable handle a scalable ecommerce website development project, or is it better suited for MVPs?

I’d really appreciate if anyone could share sample projects, tutorials, or best practices for building ecommerce platforms using Thunkable.

Hello, i share my experience on this, but you won’t like it very much.

First very important information is that for everything sold in the app, Apple Stores and Google Play takes up to 30% (this was a couple of years back, not sure if still stands but worth a check on internet).

There is in Thunkable the possibility to use a block for in-app purchases which is working well, even tough is a bit complex to set if you dont have much experience (very good docs are provided anyway).

I think that Airtable or Google Sheets can do the job - on listing dynamic contents, but it’s a matter of trying what the best suits you.

Last but not least, as far as i remember, i dont think Paypal is allowed into the apps as Apple and Google only accepts Apple Pay or Google Play as payment method (please have a doublecheck on this too, this was a couple of years back).

Hope it helped, i’m sure you will get more info from other thunkers
