The Payments tab brings your app’s payment data into Base44, so you can see how your app is selling in one place. You can follow your revenue over time, review every transaction, and keep track of the customers on a recurring plan.
Your Payments tab appears as soon as you connect a payment provider, either Base44 Payments or Stripe.

​
Opening the Payments tab

To open the Payments tab:
  1. Click Dashboard in your app editor.
  2. Click Payments.

​
Completing your setup

You can accept real payments as soon as you connect. Complete your account setup to release your payouts. Anything your customers pay in the meantime is held until you do, so nothing is lost.Finish setting up at any time from your Base44 Payments dashboard, or click Complete setup under Get paid in your Payments tab.
Claim your Stripe account to switch your app to live payments. Stripe verifies your business details and bank account, then your payouts start. Until then your app runs on test keys, so you can try your checkout freely without any real money moving.Pick up where you left off at any time from your Stripe dashboard, or under Get paid in your Payments tab. The button there reads Claim your account, or Complete application if you have already started.

​
Running a test transaction

Run a test transaction before you start selling, so you experience checkout exactly as your customers will.
Under Test your checkout in your Payments tab, click Test with $1 to buy a sample product with your own card.Refund it at any time from your Base44 Payments dashboard, which is also a good way to see how refunds work.
Publish your app first, then click Open checkout under Test your checkout in your Payments tab. Add a product to the cart, continue to checkout, and pay with Stripe’s test card:
  • Card number: 4242 4242 4242 4242
  • Expiry date: any future date
  • CVC: any 3 digits
  • Postal code: any valid postal code
While your app is in test mode, every payment behaves this way, so you can test freely without any real charges.
You can also ask the AI chat to check your app for you. Click Review under Ask the builder to check it, and it reviews your products, your checkout, and what happens after a payment, then fixes anything that would stop a customer from paying.

​
Viewing your payment overview

The Overview tab summarizes how your app is selling over a period you choose. It shows:
  • Net revenue for the selected period.
  • Transactions, with a breakdown of how many succeeded, were refunded, and failed.
  • A revenue chart for the selected period, calculated net of refunds.
  • Recent transactions, with View all to open your full list.
To change the period:
  1. Open the Overview tab.
  2. Select 7 days, 30 days, or 90 days.
When your app takes payments in more than one currency, a Currency picker appears on the Overview tab. Use it to choose which currency to report, so your Net revenue and your chart always show a single currency.

​
Viewing your transactions

The Transactions tab lists every transaction for your app, with the newest first. Each row shows the Customer, the Amount, the Status, and the Date.
The Transactions tab showing payments with customer, amount, status, and date columns.

​
Viewing your subscriptions

Ask the AI chat to add subscriptions to your app, so you can sell recurring plans through either Base44 Payments or Stripe.

Each row shows the Plan and its billing cycle, the Customer, the Amount, the Status, and the Next charge date. A subscription has one of these statuses:
  • Active
  • Canceling, for a plan that stays active until the end of the current period and then stops renewing
  • Past due
  • Canceled
  • Paused
View and manage subscriptions sold through Stripe in your Stripe Dashboard. See Setting up payment flows.
