How to implement in-app purchases in Adalo?

Step 1: Set Up Adalo Account

  • First things first, sign up or log in to your Adalo account.
  • Head over to your existing project or, if you need to, create a new one.

Step 2: Prepare Stripe Account

  • If you don’t have a Stripe account yet, go ahead and sign up for one.
  • Complete the verification process that Stripe requires.
  • Grab your Stripe API keys (both publishable and secret keys) from the API section of your Stripe dashboard.

Step 3: Integrate Stripe with Adalo

  • In your Adalo project, navigate to the Settings, then find the Payments tab.
  • Enable Stripe integration by entering your Stripe API keys.
  • Choose your preferred currency for transactions.

Step 4: Create Products in Stripe

  • In your Stripe dashboard, go to the Products section.
  • Create new products for each in-app purchase item you want to offer.
  • Fill in the product details like name, pricing, and any other necessary information.

Step 5: Add Custom Actions in Adalo

  • In Adalo, create the screen where users will select in-app purchases.
  • Add a button component for each in-app purchase option.
  • Set up custom actions for these buttons to initiate a purchase.
  • Choose "Add Action" > "Link" > “Custom Action”.
  • Select Stripe as the integration and configure it to charge the user based on the product they chose.

Step 6: Handle Successful Payments

  • Set up a success screen that users will be redirected to after a successful purchase.
  • Use the custom actions to update the user’s data (e.g., unlocking features) upon successful payment.

Step 7: Test In-App Purchases

  • Test the entire purchase flow in Adalo using test card numbers provided by Stripe.
  • Make sure transactions are being processed correctly and that users are receiving the correct items or features.

Step 8: Publish Your App

  • Once testing is complete and everything is working as expected, publish your app.
  • Regularly monitor your Stripe Dashboard for transactions and potential issues.

Each step needs to be carefully followed to ensure a seamless in-app purchase experience for users.
