Web-Only Checkout

You can use Superwall's web checkout links without an iOS or Android app. It's suitable for things like a web app, SaaS products, or any scenario where you want to handle the post-purchase flow yourself.

All that's required is creating a web app in Superwall. Then, for its post-purchase behavior use Redirect mode instead of Redeem mode:

After a user completes checkout from a paywall, they get redirected to your URL with purchase data as query parameters:

For example, if your redirect URL is https://amazingwebproduct.com/welcome, then after a successful purchase the redirect URL would be the following:

https://amazingwebproduct.com/welcome?
  app_user_id=user_123&
  email=user@example.com&
  stripe_subscription_id=sub_1234567890

Setup

1. Create a Superwall Web App

Create a new app in Superwall for your web product in a new or existing project. Follow the steps in Creating an App.

2. Configure Your Payment Provider

Set up your Stripe:

• Stripe Setup

You can skip any iOS/Android related configuration sections since you won't be using a mobile app.

3. Enable Redirect Mode

In your app's settings under Post-Purchase Behavior, select Redirect and enter your custom URL.

Your URL will receive the following query parameters after checkout:

Example redirect:

https://amazingwebproduct.com/welcome?
  app_user_id=user_123&
  email=user@example.com&
  stripe_subscription_id=sub_1234567890

4. Handle the Redirect

When users land on your redirect URL, use the query parameters to:

• Verify the purchase with your backend.
• Create or update the user's account.
• Grant access to your product.
• Show a success or onboarding page.

What's Next

• Creating Products to add products to your checkout.
• Creating Campaigns to show paywalls via web checkout links. Remember, you use these URLs in any way you wish, but the checkout link itself is derived from two things:

1. The web paywall domain you created for the web app (found in Settings -> General).
2. And, the placement which is housed in a campaign.
