Flutter E-commerce App with Laravel Backend & Full API Automation
Wimtorq is a mobile-first e-commerce platform built with Flutter and powered by a custom Laravel backend. Designed for speed, clarity, and ease of use, it allows users to shop, track deliveries, and manage orders with minimal friction. The app integrates Firebase for session control, Twilio for notifications, Stripe for payments, and Google Maps for address selection and delivery tracking. Both mobile and web versions were developed with performance, scale, and user experience at the core.

Challenge
We set out to build a mobile shopping experience that was both frictionless and fully automated — something off-the-shelf platforms couldn’t offer. Wimtorq had to handle user authentication, cart logic, payments, shipping details, and real-time updates — while feeling fast, intuitive, and reliable. Ensuring consistency across web and mobile without bloating either side of the stack was key.
Process
Built with Flutter for both iOS and Android
Custom Laravel REST API for all business logic and product data
Firebase Auth and local DB for persistence, offline access, and fast state reload
Stripe integrated for seamless checkout
Twilio for SMS notifications
Google Maps API for precise delivery input
Modular codebase for fast updates and future integrations
Responsiveness
Flutter’s native-like performance gave Wimtorq a fluid, fast UI that adapts to screen sizes effortlessly. We focused on micro-interactions, swipe gestures, and touch-optimized cards to make shopping feel quick and intuitive. The mobile experience is tightly synced with the Laravel-powered web backend, ensuring real-time updates and smooth transitions between platforms.
Problem - Site and Service Improvement
Wimtorq was born out of the need to eliminate the friction found in existing local commerce platforms. Too many apps overloaded users with clunky UX or lacked real-time capabilities. We solved this by building a system that felt fast, stayed in sync, and handled payment, logistics, and user flow out of the box — with zero reliance on third-party storefront platforms.
Site and Service Improvement
Simplified checkout using Stripe
SMS alerts and login via Twilio
Fast product search, filtering, and cart flow
Address selection and delivery coordination using Google Maps
Backend built to scale with clean API endpoints and modular Laravel controllers
Local DB caching for faster reloads and offline tolerance
Solution - Communication and Deployment
We maintained a streamlined dev cycle using Git-based CI/CD pipelines and weekly internal sprint reviews. All updates were tested across Android and iOS simulators, then staged through Firebase App Distribution before final submission to the app stores. With clear documentation and team-wide async updates via Loom and Slack, our delivery was smooth and fast, with zero post-launch rollbacks.
Communication
Wimtorq was developed entirely in-house by the Yoodule team, with smooth internal collaboration across development, design, and QA. We ran weekly internal sprint reviews, shared progress via Slack and Loom, and pushed test builds through Firebase App Distribution for feedback before going live. Git-based CI/CD ensured clean deployment to both app stores, and Laravel Forge handled backend rollouts. Every feature — from Twilio alerts to Stripe checkout — was documented, demoed, and validated across both platforms before production release.
