Stripe Setup

Once you've created a Stripe app, you'll need to connect it with Stripe and fill in a few settings. This is a one-time setup that connects Superwall to Stripe. The easiest way to get started is to click on the link in your overview page, which will take you to your app's Settings page:

Application settings

Fill out metadata about your iOS app in this section.

1. Icon: An icon to represent your app, we recommend using the same one that your iOS app does. This will appear on the checkout and subscription management pages.

2. Application Name: The name of your app, we recommend using the same name as your iOS app.

3. Support URL: A URL to your support page. This will be shown on the checkout and subscription management pages.

4. Support Email: An email you provide customers for support questions and general reach out

5. Redeemable on Desktop: If your app is an iPad app on Mac, enable this option so that users can redeem products on their Mac. If you aren't using iPads Apps on the Mac, you can disable this. If this is disabled, Superwall enforces redemption on an iOS device.

Once you've filled out this information, click on the Update Application button.

Post-Purchase Behavior

Configure what happens after a user completes a purchase on the web:

Redeem (Default): Superwall manages the entire redemption flow. Users are automatically deep linked to your app with a redemption code, with fallback to the App Store/Play Store if the app isn't installed. This is recommended for most apps.

Redirect: Redirect users to your own custom URL with purchase information passed as query parameters. Use this when you need to:

• Show a custom success or onboarding page
• Perform additional verification or actions before redemption
• Integrate with your own deep linking infrastructure

When using Redirect mode, you'll need to provide a Redirect URL (must start with https://). Purchase data will be appended as query parameters:

• app_user_id - User's app identifier
• email - User's email address
• stripe_subscription_id - Stripe subscription ID, or Stripe Checkout session ID for one-time purchases
• Any custom placement parameters you've set

Learn more about post-checkout redirecting.

Web Paywall Domain

This is the domain your paywalls will be shown from. This was set when the Stripe app was created, and cannot be changed.

Apple Pay domain setup

If you want Apple Pay to appear in Stripe Checkout, add your Superwall web paywall domain as a Stripe payment method domain. Stripe requires the exact domain that hosts checkout to be registered before domain-based payment methods such as Apple Pay can appear.

For a Superwall web checkout app, register the domain shown in Web Paywall Domain. For example, if your Superwall checkout links use https://caffeinepal.superwall.app, register caffeinepal.superwall.app in Stripe.

1. 1

   Open payment settings in Stripe

   In Stripe, open Settings, then select Payments.

   
2. 2

   Open payment method domains

   In the Payments settings, open Payment method domains.

   
3. 3

   Add your Superwall domain

   Click Add a new domain, enter your Superwall web paywall domain, then save it.

   

After Stripe validates the domain, it should appear as enabled. Apple Pay may still be hidden if the customer is not using a supported device, browser, card, country, or currency.

For more details, see Stripe's payment method domain registration docs.
