Paywalls in Botsi

In Botsi, a paywall functions as an in-app storefront, enabling users to explore and purchase products or subscriptions directly within your application. Paywalls are dynamically configurable, allowing you to modify their appearance and behavior without requiring app updates. This flexibility makes it easier to create targeted experiences for different user segments through placements.

Using Paywalls​

Paywalls are strategically displayed within your app using placements. A placement is a specific location or context in your app where a paywall is shown, allowing you to targeted experiences based on user segments or app areas.

The usage of paywalls can impact:

  • Monetization: Offering in-app purchases and subscriptions to generate revenue.

  • User Engagement: Providing clear pathways for users to access premium features and content.

  • Personalization: Tailoring offers and content to individual user preferences.

How Paywalls Work​

The typical workflow on how a paywall works in Botsi is as follows:

1

Request​

The app requests the appropriate paywall configuration based on the user's context (e.g., segment, location, A/B test group).

Configuration Retrieval​

Botsi retrieves the relevant paywall configuration, which defines the layout, content, and product offerings.

Display​

The app renders the paywall UI using the provided configuration data.

Interaction​

Users interact with the paywall, browsing products, selecting subscriptions, and initiating purchases.

Transaction​

Botsi manages the purchase process, integrating with app stores for payment processing and subscription management.

Analytics​

User interactions with the paywall are tracked, providing insights into conversion rates, revenue, and behavior.

Designing Paywalls​

Botsi offers two primary methods for designing paywalls:

Visual Builder​

The Visual Builder is a no-code tool for creating engaging paywalls using pre-built templates and drag-and-drop elements. Customize the look and feel to align with your brand and preview changes in real-time.

Remote Configuration​

For advanced customization, Remote Configuration enables you to define paywalls using JSON. This approach provides complete control over the paywall's appearance and behavior while using Botsi's transaction processing and analytics.

  • Draft: Under development and not visible to users.
