There have been multiple threads and questions about IAP, and “it’s our top priority” seems to have turned into “maybe a closed beta in October” and who knows how long after that. Fact: you cannot “just use Stripe” in the USA if you want users to pay for your iOS app. If you charge users for your a…

[image] Jici: could be possible I guess if you have access to also closed Beta mobile plugin editor… my understanding is that libraries with native code are required for IAP. I remember another topic saying that it’s currently not possible to install libraries with the plugin editor. Even if …

So your answer to the question is “use a wrapper or don’t use bubble?”

If you need your app to have IAP immediately I’m afraid you’ll have to find workarounds for now

[image] dan20: Is it possible to build IAP functions in a plugin? It could be possible I guess if you have access to also closed Beta mobile plugin editor… But I think you could wait for Bubble to release it too. In most case, when they say a specific month for Closed beta… you can expect thi…

I personally will pause my subscription until IAP are ready. There is no reason for me to have an app live that can’t be monetized. I’m afraid that ‘late summer’ will become late winter. So I will keep an eye on this forum and continue when IAP are ready.

Given what’s possible with plugins, it doesn’t look like that road leads anywhere. I’m going to proceed with “free” and sell premium support. I like Bubble way too much to look for the exit any time soon.

Hi, first of all, thank you so much for raising the topic, i’m in the same situation. A question for you, as you mentioned: what you mean exactly with “reading app”? and in case, how would the process and solution differ in that case? I’m asking you because i might fall in this case. I can say th…

You need in app payment. In general, if you want to make money with your mobile app, Bubble is not ready. Maybe end of year but to get in app payment right and easy is hard. Bubble will notice it and will delay full delivery. There is a reason there are companies like RevenueCat. But also in order t…

ok, thank you for the explanation. But what i don’t get is that i’m trying to create something that apparently works quite similarly to existing services like spotify, or babbel - where the payment is done in a webpage, and then you see content on the app according to the plan - if you have purchas…

[image] andrea.8.rossi: babbel If you can make a case that your app is just a means of viewing a main service that you offer online via various channels it might be just fine to use something like stripe. If you app IS the product and the app is selling digital goods that only live or can be …
