What platform this template is built on?
This template is built without code on Bubble - the most advanced visual programming platform that allows creating web and mobile apps up to 10 times faster and easier.
When you buy a template, you receive the Bubble app configuration which you can then customize through the Bubble visual editor.
How to start building an app after purchasing the Rapid Dev template?
Once you purchase the template, please do the following:
- Go to your Bubble.io account and click the "New app" button;
- In the "Start from the template" drop-down, choose the purchased template and continue with creating your new app;
- You can create as many app copies from the template as needed (following the same steps above).
- Use Our Templates Installation Guide for more details.
We recommend having an intermediate experience with Bubble to easily tweak this template, or at least a basic understanding to be able to work with embedded functionality.

How can I customize this template?
Everything in the template configuration can be customized - design, workflows, database, and all the settings like domain, SEO parameters, etc. There is no source code for these templates per se because they are built without code :)

1. You can customize it by yourself.
Make the first steps in using the template with our Templates Installation Guide.

Can I translate template content to other languages?
By default, all our templates are in English. However, if you wish to change the language or create a multi-lingual website, it will require a manual adjustment.
We recommend exploring the following resources, as they should prove quite helpful:
- Weglot: Integrations for translating Bubble websites - https://www.weglot.com/integrations/translate-bubble-website
- Bubble's manual guide on customizing language and app communications - https://manual.bubble.io/help-guides/customizing-an-application/language-and-app-communications
- YouTube tutorial on language customization for Bubble applications - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSz8F0Pcxj0

Once the app is being used where the data will be stored?
When you create a Bubble app based on the template it will have its database and all the data will be stored there.
Is it possible to combine a few templates?
It's doable and still easier than creating from scratch. Copying visual elements is simple, but copy-pasting workflows would require manual manipulation as they are tied to the database structure.
Even if you recreate the same database structure Bubble won't automatically match the new DB fields and would show an error, so you would need to manually reconcile each occurrence where it doesn't see the DB field.
The same would have to be done with visual elements that refer to the DB in the data source or the conditional formatting tab.
What's the difference between a Standard and a Developer license?
If you’d like to build client apps based on this template, please purchase the Developer license - it would allow you to build unlimited apps for any of your client projects (but not for resale as a template).
The Standard template license - allows creating applications only for your use (business or personal) and cannot be used for creating applications for third parties.
In case of failure to comply Bubble reserves the right to delete the incompliant applications on short notice.
Learn more about Bubble template licenses.
Can I upgrade a Standard license to a Developer one?
Just follow these simple steps and you should be good to go:
- Login to your Bubble account
- Navigate to the Marketplace. Once in the marketplace, find ‘Purchased templates’ and go into its ‘details’ page.
- On the template or the plugin page, there will be an ‘upgrade’ button instead of a ‘buy template’ button.
- Click the button and checkout will pop-up.
- Go to the checkout through the pop-up and it will show you the additional price you’ll have to pay for the upgrade.
- It will also show the type of license to which the template will be added. Make sure it’s the upgrade you want.
- Choose the upgrade with the price to pay and you should get an updated version of your current standard template.
After the update to a developer license, you should be able to access the default version of the template. Use the default version of the template to create as many copies of it as you want. You can later edit and customize each of those copies and resell them to your clients.
When you’re done creating a unique application with the template and selling it to the client, you provide full admin access to the application to the client. At this point, you should still be able to have full access to the original, default template.
What's the difference between a template’s full and lite version
Let us take for example the Fundstarter template:
- Full version: https://bubble.io/template/crowdfunding-like-indiegogo-1532088432830x237190167448518660
- Lite version: https://bubble.io/template/fundstarter-lite|-crowdfunding-1648705893653x850398723141795800
The dashboard page within the Fundstarter’s full version template allows managing Users and Fundraisers as well as tracking Contributions, Discussions, and Payouts, allowing also setting the platform commission.
Within the Lite version - this page is removed. This way, after a comparison, users can decide if they would like to purchase the full version with all features included or to get the Lite one, but without the admin dashboard page and develop their own admin page.
Can I host the template on my servers?
Before we answer that, you must know that all the templates you get on Bubble are built by default on the Bubble platform in the first place.
You must also realize the fact that Bubble is a platform that specializes in no-code development. This means that the templates built intrinsically on the Bubble do not, technically speaking, come with a source code. Because if they did, then what’s the point of calling it a no-code development platform in the first place.
With that in mind, you should know that there is no source code for these templates per se. And that is mainly due to the fact they are built without one in the first place.
Hence, to answer your question:
⚠️ You cannot host templates on your own servers. And since the templates do not have a code in the first place, you cannot get the code for the templates either.
Essentially, Bubble hosts everything as a part of its business model.
This is to say that you purchase your own, personal, domain name but you point it to the Bubble servers instead of pointing it to your own server which you created from scratch. The Bubble server, in turn, runs your Bubble Application.
Will the Bubble branding be removed after purchasing the template?
Once you buy the template, create an app based on it, and subscribe to one of Bubble's paid plans - the Bubble branding will disappear. Check out more about pricing plans.
What are the other monthly fees I would have to pay other than buying a template?
You would need to set up an account with Bubble. You can start for free, and when you need to assign a custom domain to your app and remove the Bubble banner then you would need to sign up for one of Bubble's paid plans. Please find the details here.
I want a refund for the purchased template
Kindly note that all the Template and Plugin sales go through the Bubble Marketplace, so Rapid Dev cannot influence the payment flows or make a refund, unfortunately.
Anyway, in this case, would be better to contact the Bubble team directly at https://bubble.io/contact and describe your case, they are quite responsive and might help you.
