Template369 supports in-app purchases (IAPs) that allow you to monetize your app by selling digital content or unlocking premium features. We've integrated with two popular IAP platforms to provide a seamless purchasing experience across different platforms:
Mobile (Android & iOS) and macOS
For mobile (Android & iOS) and macOS platforms, we use RevenueCat, a powerful subscription management platform that simplifies the implementation of in-app purchases and subscriptions. RevenueCat abstracts away the complexity of integrating with the underlying platform-specific purchase SDKs (Google Play Billing Library and App Store), providing a unified cross-platform API for managing purchases, subscriptions, and customer data.
Some key features of RevenueCat integration include:
- Simplified IAP setup: RevenueCat provides a streamlined process for configuring and setting up your in-app purchases, reducing the time and effort required for integration.
- Subscription management: Easily manage and track active subscriptions, including free trials, introductory offers, and subscription lifecycle events.
- Server-to-server receipt validation: Ensure the integrity of purchase data by leveraging RevenueCat's server-to-server receipt validation, minimizing the risk of fraud or tampering.
- Customer data synchronization: Seamlessly synchronize customer data across devices and platforms, enabling a consistent user experience.
- Analytics and reporting: Access detailed analytics and reports to gain insights into your app's revenue, subscriber metrics, and user behavior.
Web
For the web platform, we've integrated with Stripe, a popular online payment processing platform that supports in-app purchases and subscriptions. Stripe provides a robust and secure infrastructure for handling online payments, offering advanced features like fraud protection, customizable checkout experiences, and extensive documentation and developer resources.
Some key advantages of using Stripe for web in-app purchases include:
- PCI-compliant payment processing: Stripe adheres to strict PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) compliance, ensuring the secure handling of sensitive payment data.
- Seamless checkout experience: Customize the checkout flow with Stripe's embeddable payment forms and UI components, tailored to your app's branding and user experience.
- International coverage: Stripe supports a wide range of currencies and payment methods, making it suitable for businesses operating globally.
- Detailed reporting and analytics: Access comprehensive reports and analytics to gain insights into your app's revenue, payment metrics, and customer behavior.
- Robust developer tools: Leverage Stripe's extensive documentation, libraries, and APIs to streamline the integration and testing of in-app purchases in your Flutter web app.
In the following sections, we'll dive deeper into the implementation details, configuration steps, and best practices for integrating in-app purchases using RevenueCat (for mobile and macOS) and Stripe (for web) in your Flutter app.
Now Let’s start configuring both tools and app platforms.
