Build a Professional Split Bill App with FairPay and Metronic

Have you ever found yourself fumbling to split the bill after a group dinner or a fun trip with friends? As a developer who’s sold over 2,000 products on CodeCanyon under the name thirteendev, I know firsthand how time-consuming it can be to build a mobile app from scratch to solve this problem — unless you’ve got the right tools. In this guide, I’ll show you how to pair my FairPay — Split Bill React Native UI Template with Metronic — Bootstrap Admin Dashboard Theme to create a sleek, professional split bill app in just a few hours.

FairPay: Your Ready-Made Mobile UI Solution

FairPay is a React Native UI template built with Expo, making it a breeze to develop a cross-platform mobile app (iOS and Android). Priced at just $19, it offers:

  • A clean, intuitive bill entry screen.
  • Automatic bill-splitting functionality for groups.
  • A modern design that’s easy to customize.

I created FairPay to help developers like you skip weeks of UI coding and jump straight into building something useful. You can grab it now on CodeCanyon here and get started today.

Metronic: Elevate Your App with a Pro Dashboard

What if you want more than just a mobile app — say, a powerful dashboard to track bill history or analyze group spending? That’s where Metronic comes in. Metronic is one of CodeCanyon’s top-selling admin dashboard themes, built with Bootstrap, featuring a polished interface and hundreds of pre-designed UI components. Why pair it with FairPay? Because it:

  • Offers a control panel to manage user data.
  • Integrates seamlessly with a backend (if you expand FairPay).
  • Costs only $49 for a tool worth months of design work.

How to Combine FairPay and Metronic in 4 Steps

Step 1: Set Up FairPay with Expo

Download FairPay from CodeCanyon, unzip it, and run:

bash

npm installexpo start

Within 10 minutes, you’ll have a working split bill UI on your emulator or device.

Step 2: Customize FairPay’s Look

Head to src/screens/SplitBillScreen.js and tweak the colors or layout. For example:

javascript

const styles = StyleSheet.create({  container: {    backgroundColor: '#ffffff', // Crisp white to match Metronic’s vibe  },});

Add your logo to assets/images for a personal touch.

Step 3: Add a Backend with Metronic

While Metronic isn’t React Native, it’s perfect as a web-based admin dashboard to manage FairPay’s data. Here’s how:

  • Build a simple API (using Node.js or Firebase) to store bill data from FairPay.
  • Download Metronic and customize its html/index.html to display split bill history.
  • Connect FairPay to your API with a quick fetch call:

javascript

const saveBill = async (billData) => {  await fetch('YOUR_API_URL', {    method: 'POST',    body: JSON.stringify(billData),  });};

Step 4: Launch and Monetize

  • Publish FairPay to the App Store or Google Play via Expo.
  • Deploy Metronic on a hosting service (like Netlify) for web access.
  • Promote your app with this powerful duo to attract users!

Why This Combo Works

  • FairPay: Delivers a fast, user-friendly mobile experience.
  • Metronic: Adds a robust web dashboard for deeper management.
  • Time-Saving: Both are pre-built templates, letting you focus on functionality rather than design.

If you’re just after a mobile app, FairPay alone is a gem. But if you’re dreaming of a full ecosystem (mobile + web), Metronic is the perfect partner — I’ve seen developers transform their projects with this combo.
