Still not sure if Stripe will work in native mobile

Do we have final word on whether Stripe will be allowed by Apple/Google to be used by native mobile apps?

I assume that if so, the stripe functionality would need to be housed in a bubble web page and served through a native mobile Web View component.

honestly, there isn’t a final, official Apple/Google statement that says “Stripe is allowed” the way there is for native in-app purchases. both platforms generally prefer you use their own billing systems for digital goods, but for services, subscriptions, and physical stuff Stripe is usually fine as long as you’re not trying to sidestep their in-app purchase rules.

in practice, most apps that need Stripe on mobile either wrap the Stripe pages inside a web view or hand off to the browser so the payment happens outside the app container. that keeps you in line with platform policies and avoids the native billing restrictions.

so yes, what you said about hosting the Stripe flow on a bubble web page and displaying it in a web view is exactly how most people handle it right now. it’s not that Apple/Google have explicitly blessed it for native payments, it’s just the common pattern that avoids any compliance issues.
