Funiq – Modern Furniture App with Payload CMS (Expo version)

Launching an e-commerce mobile app often gets bogged down in backend setup and UI state management. Funiq provides a ready-to-deploy React Native codebase paired directly with a headless Payload CMS instance, streamlining mobile store creation across iOS and Android platforms.

Funiq is a full-stack React Native Expo mobile e-commerce template designed specifically for online furniture stores and home decor retailers. Powered by Expo 54, TypeScript, Redux Persist, and an integrated Payload CMS admin panel, this template bridges mobile UI design and backend content management. It is best suited for mobile developers, digital agencies, and startup founders looking for a structured cross-platform storefront foundation. It is not intended for non-technical users seeking a web-based drag-and-drop site builder.

Frequently Asked Questions

What technology stack is required to run and build Funiq?

Funiq requires Node.js, the Expo CLI, and standard React Native development tooling. The codebase uses TypeScript (.tsx), functional components, and React Hooks, making it compatible with standard mobile development toolchains for iOS and Android.

How does Payload CMS connect with the mobile application?

Payload CMS serves as the headless administration backend where products and discounts are managed. The React Native front-end interacts with structured data models such as products.json and promocodes.json to serve content to the app.

Does the template save user cart items when the app closes?

Yes. The state management setup includes Redux Persist alongside Redux, which saves active cart data and app states to the device’s local storage automatically.
