If for some reason your payment fails, or we are unable to process your subscription, we will make several attempts to contact you and try to process your payment again to make sure there is no disruption to your service.
If after several attempts we are still unable to contact you, and a reasonable grace period has passed, your license will be deactivated, you will lose access to support and updates, and your App will be disabled.
If that happens, you will be able to re-enable your app at any time by paying off any unpaid balance owed and reactivating your subscription.
Your BuddyBoss App subscription is billed once every month, every year or every 3 years from the date of your purchase date depending on which plan you purchased.
Your on-boarding & publishing package is a one time fee, which is paid upfront or split over 2 to 3 months depending on which plan you choose.

If you are selling courses or a membership, you’ll want to pay particular attention to the Apple in-app purchases, as those would normally be required, and involve a commission to the app store.
We have a history of getting 100% of apps we submit for publishing approved, so unless your content or business model violate the app store guidelines, it’s unlikely that your app will not be approved into the app stores. However since we have no control over the third party company, app store or marketplace, we cannot provide you with a guarantee that your mobile app will be approved.
No, your mobile app connects directly to your WordPress database and uses its own native layout. The theme you use on your site has no impact on the look and feel of your mobile app. So feel free to keep your current theme or to change it up and it will not affect how your mobile app looks. However, you may want to optionally display web pages in your mobile app, and add them to the navigation. When you do, the web pages will show the responsive version of your website, which will be based on the theme you have installed. This only applies to the web pages you link to from the app. The BuddyBoss App native screens will not be impacted by the theme you are running.
The BuddyBoss App is built with performance and scalability in mind. Generally, if your BuddyBoss Platform powered site is running properly on your current hosting setup, then you should have no problem adding the BuddyBoss App to the setup.

Yes, at any moment you can upgrade to a higher plan. You will pay a prorated amount for the current billing period and your payment amount will be adjusted for the next billing period. For the on-boarding and publishing package, you will simply pay the difference in price between the plan you are currently on and the plan you are upgrading to.

We understand that the process of customizing an app, configuring it, branding it and preparing it for publishing into the app stores can be a bit of a learning curve for the non-techie.
This is why we created the Done For You service and built a team around it so we can go through the process of creating, customizing, configuring, branding and preparing your mobile app for publishing for you, so you can save time and focus on your business.
Following is what’s included in the Done For You App service:
We will install the BuddyBoss App on the WordPress site of your choice. We will create your mobile app and connect it to your WordPress site.
The purpose of the rebranding is to make the App’s styling match with your brand.
To do this, we gather information about your existing brand identity and use that to modify the styling of the App.
After we gather the info needed, our design team will use the BuddyBoss customizer to make your new mobile app to match with your brand. We use professional designers to do this so we can get the best result in terms of esthetics, as this will be the first impression you give to your users. An esthetically pleasing design is important to the end user.
Our design will also design your app icon, launch screen and login screen background.
The BuddyBoss App customizer allows for changes to:
The designer will work with the available options to create an esthetically pleasing rebranding for your mobile app. Any requests that fall outside of the options that the product provides will be considered out of scope. These can still be achieved through custom development, after the completion of your Done For You project.
Our team will configure your app for you. This includes setting up the push notifications service, configuring your iOS App and your Android App.
We’ll also enable and configure the features you need and disable the features you don’t need.
When preparing your app for publishing we will gather the information we need from you, create the screenshots and graphics needed and generate your mobile app build.
Our design team will take the screenshots and copy you provide us with and turn them into beautiful graphics so you can impress your app store visitors with a nicely presented and compelling product page on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
Our team will also create other necessary graphics for publishing into the App stores.
Your app will then be ready for our publishing team to submit to the app stores.
The Done For You App service does not include customizations, custom development outside of what is described in the above scope of work.
