Evaluating Nami

Nami provides two products, both of which save engineering teams a ton of time.

No-Code Paywalls

Nami moves control of your app's paywalls to a cloud-based CMS.

From a developer perspective, this means you can shift day-to-day management to the non-developers on your team, freeing your time to work on other critical work.

Our paywall solution works regardless of whether you have your own purchase management code, use a third-party subscription management vendor, or want to use us for subscription management.

There are two supported use cases to use Nami as your Paywall solution:

Choose a Template from our Paywall Gallery Nami has created a growing library of off-the-shell paywall templates based upon common patterns and industry best practices.

Create your Own Paywall We provide a no-code paywall builder that allows you build your own paywall templates based upon our library of components.

Eliminate Hard-Coded Rules Many apps depend on hard-coded rules to govern when a user is presented your paywall screen. Nami allows you to shift these rules to the cloud, so they can be easily managed and updated in real-time. Read more about managing business rules by creating a campaign.

In-App Purchase & Subscription Management

In-app purchases and subscriptions are notorious for being a hassle to implement, let alone test and maintain. We want to help developers stay focused on building a great app experience.

To start, Nami eliminates all of the platform-specific client-side and server-side purchase integration points.

For instance, if you're building an iOS app this means we simplify your use of StoreKit, handle receipt validation, and stand-up the backend to consume Apple's Server-to-Server notifications.

For Android apps, Nami takes care of the complexity of working with the Google Play Billing library, validating purchase tokens, and consuming the real-time developer notifications to make sure your app users' purchase state is up to date.

That's just the beginning! In this article, learn more about how Nami helps developers.

Adopting In-App Purchases on Apple Platforms

Nami helps make it easier to adopt in-app purchases (including subscriptions) on Apple's App Store platform.

Apple's StoreKit is well-known to be one of the more complex developer frameworks to incorporate into your app. Additionally, new App Store Connect server-side APIs are both necessary and complex to integrate for subscription apps.

Both can be quite frustrating to implement and test, leading to App Review pitfalls.

Nami solves this, by simplifying the integration points to one (the Nami SDK) allowing you to follow Apple requirements and best practices without the pain.

Specifically, Nami automatically handles three key integration points:

StoreKit Purchase Flow The Nami SDK abstracts away much of the complexity required to utilize StoreKit. For example, the Restore Purchase flow or getting In-App Purchase SKProduct details are handled for you automatically.

Receipt Validation Nami interfaces with the App Store's receipt validation APIs so you don’t have to do any client or server-side receipt validation.

Server-to-Server Notifications Nami listens for Apple's Server-to-Server notification events on your behalf so you don't need to stand up a server. This provides on-going monitoring of key lifecycle changes so your app can adapt accordingly.

Easier Purchase Testing Besides implementation details, the Nami SDK helps simplify your purchase testing so you can test purchase flows without managing test users or running up against tedious system prompts just to see how your app reacts to purchase state changes.

Adopting In-App Purchases on Android

Nami helps make it easier to adopt in-app purchases (including subscriptions) on Google's Play Store platform.

Working with the Google Play Billing library can be tricky. Google releases major updates to the library every year and staying on top of all the latest changes and requirements can take a lot of effort.

Additionally, an implementation of IAPs that meets all of Google's recommendations includes having a server for both purchase token validation and processing of real-time developer notifications.

Nami solves this, by simplifying the integration points to one (the Nami SDK) allowing you to follow Google's requirements and best practices without the pain.

Specifically, Nami automatically handles three key integration points:

Google Play Billing Purchase Flow The Nami SDK abstracts away much of the complexity required to utilize the Play Billing Library, including dealing with acknowledging purchases, pending purchases, and other complex cases.

Purchase Token Validation Nami interfaces with Google's APIs to validate the purchase token so you don't have to write any client or server-side code. Nami validates purchase tokens server-side to help reduce fraud in your app.

Real-Time Developer Notifications Nami listens for Google's Real-Time Developer Notifications (RTDN) events on your behalf so you don't need to stand up a server. This provides on-going monitoring of key lifecycle changes so your app can adapt accordingly.

To have Nami listen to RTDN events on your behalf, see our RTDN setup guide .

Easier Purchase Testing Besides implementation details, the Nami SDK helps simplify your purchase testing so you can test purchase flows without managing test users or running up against tedious system prompts just to see how your app reacts to purchase state changes.
