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 and trial periods in App Store Connect, and design the paywall with us.
- 3
Build
Wanilla adds Apple in-app purchase (StoreKit) to your iOS app.
- 4
Publish to the App Store
Wanilla prepares the submission. You submit from your Apple Developer account; Apple reviews it and decides.
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.
