Overview

Anything’s built-in Stripe integration lets you easily add payments to your web app without complex setup. You can collect payments for:
  • Monthly subscriptions (like $20/month for Pro access)
  • One-time purchases (like $100 for lifetime access)
  • Multiple pricing tiers (Basic, Pro, Enterprise)
  • B2B invoicing (for custom work or consulting)
Mobile Apps: Stripe is for web apps only. iOS mobile apps must use RevenueCat (Beta) for all payments and subscriptions.

​
Setup

1

Connect Stripe Account

Complete your Stripe onboarding in your Anything dashboard. This links your app to your Stripe account so you can receive payments.
2

Enable Authentication

You’ll want users to sign in so you can track who has paid for what.
"Allow users to login so we can track free vs paid customers"
3

Update the builder with your desired pricing model or pricing system

"Setup a Pro plan, allow them to create 50 to-do tasks after paying 19.99 a month in Stripe, keep free users at 10."

​
How It Works

Simple Version:
  1. User clicks “Upgrade” button in your app
  2. Stripe checkout page opens in a popup window
  3. User enters payment info and completes purchase
  4. Your app automatically detects they’ve paid and unlocks features
