What is Shipper Cloud?

Shipper Cloud is the backend that powers apps built with Shipper.

In plain terms, it’s what lets your app remember things.

Without Shipper Cloud, an app is mostly static. With it, your app can store data, update over time, and react to what users do.

What Shipper Cloud actually does

Shipper Cloud gives your app a built-in database. This database can store things like:

• Form submissions
• User accounts and profiles
• App-generated content
• Lists, records, and structured data
• Anything your app needs to save and retrieve later

Whenever a user submits a form, creates something, or logs in, that data lives in Shipper Cloud.

Credits & Usage

Shipper Cloud runs on Cloud credits.

Credits are used when your app stores, reads, or updates data. Apps that don’t save anything won’t really use credits. Apps that behave like real products usually will.
