Blockli supports native in-app purchases (IAP) on both iOS and Android via the BMA_IAP module. IAP lets you sell subscriptions or one-time purchases directly inside the app, with entitlements tied back to WordPress user accounts.

​
How it works

  1. You create products in App Store Connect (iOS) and Google Play Console (Android)
  2. You define the same products in Studio → Monetization
  3. The plugin maps purchased product IDs to WordPress capabilities or membership levels
  4. When a user completes a purchase in the app, the plugin verifies the receipt and grants the appropriate access

​
Plugin configuration

IAP settings are managed primarily in Studio. The plugin side (BMA_IAP) handles:
  • Receipt verification — validates purchase receipts against Apple/Google servers
  • Entitlement assignment — maps verified purchases to WordPress user meta
  • Restore purchases — handles the restore flow when a user reinstalls the app

​
Product types

​
Connecting to membership plugins

You can link IAP products to membership levels in these plugins:
  • Paid Memberships Pro
  • MemberPress
  • Restrict Content Pro
  • BuddyBoss membership levels
After a successful IAP purchase, the plugin activates the corresponding membership level on the user’s account. This gives them access to the same gated content on both web and mobile.

​
Testing

Apple and Google both provide sandbox environments for IAP testing:
  • iOS: Create sandbox tester accounts in App Store Connect. Use a development or TestFlight build.
  • Android: Add test accounts in Google Play Console. Use an internal testing build.
The plugin’s IAP endpoint (/wp-json/blockli-mobile/v1/iap/verify) accepts a sandbox flag for test receipts.

​
Admin panel

Go to Blockli → In-App Purchases in WordPress admin to:
  • View recent purchase events and their verification status
  • Manually grant or revoke entitlements
  • Check the current entitlement status for any user
