Quickstart

Get up and running with BasePrice in 5 minutes. Create a project, add a product, and publish your first localized prices.

This guide walks you through the core BasePrice workflow end-to-end. By the end, you'll have localized prices calculated for 175+ markets.

Prerequisites

  • A BasePrice account (sign up free)
  • At least one of:
    • Apple App Store Connect credentials (.p8 API key)
    • Google Play Console credentials (service account JSON)
💡Don't have store credentials yet?

You can explore BasePrice without connecting a store — just skip the credential step and manually create products. You'll need credentials when you're ready to publish.

1. Create a Project

After signing in, click New Project from the dashboard. Give your project a name (usually your app name) and save.

A project represents a single app and contains all its products, pricing configurations, and publish history.

2. Connect Your Stores

Navigate to the Platforms section in your project and add your store credentials:

Apple App Store Connect

You'll need three pieces of information from App Store Connect:

  1. Issuer ID — Found in Users and Access → Integrations → App Store Connect API
  2. Key ID — The ID of your .p8 API key
  3. Private Key — The .p8 file contents

For detailed instructions, see Connect Apple.

Google Play Console

You'll need a service account JSON key file with the appropriate permissions.

For detailed instructions, see Connect Google.

3. Add Products

Go to the Products tab and either:

  • Import from stores — Click "Import" to pull your existing IAPs and subscriptions from Apple/Google
  • Create manually — Click "New Product" and fill in the details

Each product needs a name, type (consumable, non-consumable, or subscription), and platform mappings that link the Apple and Google product IDs together.

4. Configure Pricing

Select a product and open its pricing configuration:

  1. Set your base price in your home currency (e.g., $4.99 USD)
  2. Choose a pricing strategy (start with Exchange Rate if you're unsure)
  3. Optionally enable charming prices to round to .99 or .x9 endings
  4. Review the calculated prices in the pricing table

5. Publish

Click Publish to open the review panel:

  1. Review the price changes for each country
  2. Confirm you're ready to publish
  3. BasePrice pushes prices to Apple and/or Google
  4. Check the results — green for success, red for any failures
You're all set!

You've just published localized prices to 175+ markets. BasePrice will track these prices and alert you if anything changes externally.
