Integrating apply and google into my bubble app

Need help
1

Once I’ve deployed my bubble app to web and app and I get it in the apple and google play stores, I’m wanting to know how do I get the in app purchase for membership setup for my app, so that when a user buys a membership through the app, it then get’s the app to set the membership type for that user.

Do I also have to use a wrapping service to get my app onto the apple and google play store? or does bubble do that now with the deploy to web and app function?

Thanks

In-app purchases is not available yet in the native mobile builder, but it’s being developed as we speak, as revealed at Bubble Tour and this community update about a week ago.

You can use a wrapping service to get your app to the app stores, but using the native mobile builder means it’s not needed unless you specifically want the web version of your app to be available as a downloadable app. So to clarify, a native mobile app and a web wrapper is not the same thing: a native app is built specifically for iOS and Android using native frameworks, and a web wrapper is essentially a native shell that loads your web app inside a webview (i.e. “a fullscreen web browser”).

Hey @bacchus_100, Yeah, Petter’s right, Bubble’s native builder doesn’t support in-app purchases just yet, but it’s on the way.

If you want to get your app live sooner, you can use a wrapper like Natively or BDK Native. They’ll let you publish to both stores while still using Stripe for memberships or one-time payments (and you can stay clear of Apple’s 30% cut if you set it up right).

I’ve helped a few founders do this before, getting the app wrapped and connected with Stripe. If you want, I can walk you through how to set it up.

Thanks mate, I’ve just had a look on Natively and got myself setup on there with the free version to see how it looks. This looks like a much better way to go at the moment for me.

Thanks

Glad to hear you’re trying out Natively, it’s a solid choice, especially if you want to get things rolling fast.

Once you’re set up there, you’ll still need to handle a few things like connecting Stripe properly and setting up your membership logic inside Bubble so it syncs smoothly with the wrapped app.
