Paddle Billing is the developer-first merchant of record. We take care of payments, tax, subscriptions, and metrics with one unified API that does it all.

This is a Next.js starter project for implementing marketing pages, including a pricing page, and Paddle checkout on Web for an iOS app.

As of April 30, 2025, Apple's updated App Store rules allow app developers to use third-party payment processors like Paddle for in-app purchases. This starter shows you how to implement a web-based checkout that can be opened from iOS apps.

Even though you're redirecting users to Web to complete their purchase, Apple pay is still supported.

This starter project provides a fully functional implementation of a Paddle checkout within a Next.js application that can be easily embedded into iOS apps.

• Global tax compliance — As a merchant of record, Paddle handles all tax calculations, collections, and remittances so you don't have to.
• Chargeback protection — Paddle manages chargebacks, combats fraud, and prevents card attacks, keeping your business secure.
• Lower fees than IAPs — Connect directly with your users to reduce fees while increasing customer lifetime value.
• Integrated with Paddle Retain — Minimize churn and maximize revenue with our comprehensive suite of retention tools.
• Buyer support included — Customers can self-serve through our portal, while Paddle handles all order inquiries.
• All-in-one payment platform — Enable new payment methods instantly without additional code or merchant accounts.

• Next.js 15
• @paddle/paddle-js for launching a checkout
• React 19
• TypeScript
• Tailwind CSS

First, run the development server:

npm run dev
# or
yarn dev
# or
pnpm dev
# or
bun dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the checkout page.

Create a .env.local file based on .env.example with the following variables:

• APPLE_TEAM_ID - Your Apple Team ID (for Universal Links)
• NEXT_PUBLIC_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER - Your iOS app's bundle identifier
• NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_REDIRECT_URL - The redirect url back to your app
• NEXT_PUBLIC_PADDLE_CLIENT_TOKEN - Your Paddle client token
• NEXT_PUBLIC_PADDLE_ENV - Paddle environment (sandbox or production)
