The upgraded Commerce platform manages user access across the Apple App Store, Google Play, Amazon Appstore, and web checkouts powered by Stripe and Paddle. Purchases unlock entitlements across iOS, Android, desktop, and web through unified access rules validated by an internal clock. Developers can remotely test dynamic, locale-specific paywall designs via a console without releasing app updates. Furthermore, the newly integrated customer center empowers end users to manage cancellations, retrieve past purchases, and receive configurable retention offers directly.

If you sell subscriptions in an app, you already give Apple or Google up to 30%. The usual next step is a subscription platform, because store receipts are miserable to validate and a paywall you can’t change without an app update is a paywall you’ll never test. The best known of those platforms charge a percentage of your revenue on top of the store’s. The more you earn, the more you pay them, for the same API calls.
A percentage is the wrong price for this. Validating a receipt costs the same whether it’s for a $2 app or a $200 plan, so a fee that grows with your revenue is a tax on success. In July we shipped Commerce as receipt validation and entitlements. This release adds offerings, remote paywalls, experiments, a customer center and invites, and keeps the rule that matters: the money goes from the store, or your own Stripe or Paddle account, straight to you. Codename One never touches the money, so there’s no commission to take.
