Key Takeaways

- The prompt applies only when the app sells a product that needs shipping.
- The app's backend can read the address from the purchase.
- This covers a basic gap for apps selling physical goods.
- The address is collected inside the existing checkout, with no separate form to build.
- Base44's payments documentation, in the payment flow setup section, is the reference for configuration.
Shipping addresses collected at checkout
Base44 updated its Stripe checkout so that it asks the buyer for a shipping address when the app sells a product that needs shipping. Before this change, an app selling a physical item had no built-in way to capture where it should be sent. The checkout now asks for the address as part of the purchase.
Reading the address from the backend
The app's backend can read the shipping address from the purchase. This gives the app the information it needs to fulfil an order, for example by passing it to a fulfilment process built in a backend function. The page does not describe any specific fulfilment tooling beyond making the address readable from the purchase.
