SubKit developer platform

SubKit

SubKit is the source of truth for product catalog, commerce, and access. Apps and backends read entitlements; store and payment providers are verified inputs.

SubKit owns versioned products and offerings, normalized subscriptions, purchases, contracts and payments, distributable access capacity, invitation reservations, allocations, and the resulting app-user or organization entitlements. Apple, Google, and payment providers feed SubKit through verified inputs — they never hold a competing license state.

Pick your path

Build a mobile app

Integrate purchases and access in Expo / React Native with the @piparotech/subkit-expo SDK. Render offerings, run purchases, and gate features on entitlements. Start here

Build a backend

Drive commerce and access from trusted server code with @piparotech/subkit-node: customers, contracts, payments, seats, and entitlement checks. Start here

Operate the platform

Connect stores, manage the catalog, and go live safely with verified reads and confirmed writes. Store setup

The one rule that shapes everything

App code never asks “does this user have a subscription or license?” It asks “does this access subject have this entitlement?” Every cause of access — free enrollment, store subscription, purchase, contract, trial, promotion, or manual provision — resolves through the same path:

Access Source → Access Pool → Reservation/Allocation → Entitlement Grant

Read Access model to understand why this keeps app logic stable across single subscriptions, club seats, and every commerce cause.

Architecture in one minute

SubKit architecture: consumers use authenticated Runtime and Server interfaces; canonical catalog, commerce, and access domains derive grants from verified provider inputs and persistent state.

Mobile apps use the Runtime API with public, app-bound keys. Trusted backends and operators use the capability-scoped Server API. Both meet the same canonical Catalog, Commerce, and Access domains. Store and payment systems remain outside that boundary: adapters verify their evidence, then SubKit persists normalized Sources and derives Pools, Allocations, and Grants. No consumer or provider maintains a parallel license truth.

Built for machines too

Every page is available as clean Markdown, and SubKit publishes curated /llms.txt context files so coding agents can load the smallest useful context instead of scraping HTML.
