How to create a subscription model in Adalo?

Step 1: Create a New App in Adalo

  • Go to Adalo: Head over to the Adalo website and log in to your account.
  • Create New App: Click on the "Create New App" button. Choose between a native mobile app or a web app, whatever floats your boat.

Step 2: Set Up Your Database

  • Access Database: Click on the "Database" icon on the left sidebar.
  • Create Collections: Add necessary collections like Users, Subscriptions, and Payments.
  • Users: Include fields like Email, Password, Subscription Status, and Subscription Start Date.
  • Subscriptions: Include fields like Subscription Type, Price, Duration, etc.
  • Payments: Include fields like User, Subscription, Payment Date, Amount, etc.

Step 3: Design the Subscription UI

  • Subscription Screen: Create a new screen to show subscription options.
  • Add Components: Drag and drop components like text labels, images, buttons, and forms to design the subscription screen.
  • Subscription Options: List the subscription types with descriptions and prices.

Step 4: Integrate Payments

  • Stripe Component: Use the Stripe component available in Adalo's marketplace.
  • Configure Stripe: Connect your Stripe account with Adalo by following the on-screen instructions. This includes entering your API keys and setting up redirection URLs for success and failure transactions.
  • Payment Workflow: Set up workflows to handle what happens after a user makes a payment, like updating the user's Subscription Status and recording a new entry in the Payments collection.

Step 5: User Authentication
