This quickstart shows you how to set up, preview, and go live with an AI-editable Helium paywall in your app.

Create your account on Helium

Create your Helium account at app.tryhelium.com. This will take you to the Helium dashboard, where you can create paywalls, manage api keys and integrations, run A/B tests, view analytics, and more.

Connect your products

Visit Integrations → Products and sync your products from the App Store and/or Google Play store.

Create a new paywall

  1. Click on the Paywalls tab in the sidebar (or go here).
  2. Click New Paywall and complete that flow
    You can swap products in and out as desired. Just remember to have your products linked in the paywall before going live!

Create a workflow and trigger(s)

Once you have published a pawyall, visit Workflows to create your first workflow. Once created, add a trigger. Triggers are what you use in your app to determine which workflow (and its associated paywall/s) to show to a user. A workflow is a configuration of trigger(s) that should point to the same paywall, or that share the same targeting or experimentation setup.

Install and set up the SDK

Choose your mobile platform and follow the integration quickstart:

Set up revenue reporting

Follow our guide on revenue reporting to connect Helium to your app’s revenue events via webhooks.
Revenue reporting enables Helium to provide detailed analytics about your app’s monetization. It’s a must to get the most out of Helium!

Set up fallbacks to guarantee 100% paywall uptime for your users

Follow our guide on fallbacks to guarantee that you’ll have 100% uptime of your paywalls even if a user doesn’t have a network connection.

Pre-launch and go live!

Before going live, here’s a quick checklist. As always, reach out via your Helium slack channel or to founders@tryhelium.com if you’d like any help with testing.

Testing Checklist

  • Paywall created with products
  • Workflow + trigger created
  • SDK set up and paywall displays
  • Purchases can be completed from your paywall(s)
  • Fallbacks are configured
🎉 Congratulations! You now have a live Helium paywall and are ready to take your app’s monetization to new heights!
