The Problem with Base44 and Native Monetization
Base44 is incredible for rapid "vibe coding" — but integrating RevenueCat or Adapty SDKs requires native Swift knowledge that most AI-builder developers don't have.
90% of all trial starts happen on Day 0. If your onboarding paywall isn't native, you're leaving money on the table.
The Wanilla Solution: Zero-Code Apple Small Business Program
- 1
Connect your Base44 project
Link your Base44 build or repository to Wanilla.
- 2
Configure Apple Small Business Program
Set up pricing tiers, trial periods, and paywall design in the visual dashboard.
- 3
Wrap & Build
Wanilla injects native StoreKit frameworks automatically.
- 4
Publish to the App Store
Push directly to Apple App Store with managed submission.
Code Integration Example
Wanilla bridges your Base44 webhook directly to Apple's StoreKit. Here's how a typical purchase verification flow works:
// Example: Verifying a Apple Small Business Program purchase from Base44
fetch("https://api.wanilla.co/v1/verify-purchase", {
method: "POST",
headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
body: JSON.stringify({
platform: "base44",
receipt: transactionReceipt,
product_id: "pro_weekly"
})
})
.then(res => res.json())
.then(data => {
if (data.valid) {
enablePremiumAccess();
}
});Related Guides
Once you've set up Apple Small Business Program, you might also want to add Adapty Alternative to Base44 or add App Store Publishing to Base44.

How to publish your Base44 app with Apple Small Business Program
- 1
Connect your Base44 app
Share the live URL of your Base44 app. Nothing is rebuilt — the existing build stays the source of truth.
- 2
Wire up native Apple Small Business Program
Wanilla wraps the app in a native iOS shell and injects real native Apple Small Business Program support, so the app is not a thin web wrapper under Apple Guideline 4.2.
- 3
Prepare the App Store listing
Bundle ID, App Store Connect record, privacy nutrition labels, screenshots, description and keywords are prepared for submission.
- 4
Configure pricing and paywall
Subscriptions and in-app purchases are created in App Store Connect and wired to StoreKit 2, with the paywall configured remotely so pricing changes need no new review.
- 5
Submit to Apple and go live
The build is submitted to App Review — typically within 24 hours of kickoff — and Wanilla handles any reviewer feedback until the app is approved.
