Paywall and subscriptions

Charging inside the app you build, on phones and on the web.

Needs setup

Two separate payment paths

Buildr bills you for your own plan and credit top-ups with Stripe. That is unrelated to money your app collects.

For an iPhone or Android app, Apple and Google require their own in-app purchase system for digital goods. Buildr wires those subscriptions through RevenueCat, using your RevenueCat account.

Defining products

In the publishing screen, define each product: its identifier, the entitlement it unlocks, a display name, a billing period and an indicative price. With RevenueCat connected, your app is generated with a paywall wired to those products.

Purchases cannot complete in the web preview or in Expo Go. They only work in a build installed from a store or a test track.
