Unifi Apps
How to build Unifi Apps?
This guide explains the required integration architecture and the sequential steps for deploying Unifi Apps across LINE and Web environments.
Please follow each step based on the specific platform or integration type you plan to support.
1. LINE Version Development — LIFF SDK Integration
Unifi Apps can provide a LINE-based experience in two ways:
- LINE MINI App
- LINE Login LIFF
Both run inside the LINE mobile app and are implemented using the LIFF SDK, but they use different channel types and are onboarded through different tracks.
Key Differences
| Item | LINE MINI App | LINE Login LIFF |
|---|---|---|
| Channel | LINE MINI App Channel | LINE Login Channel |
| App Store policy | Compliance with App Store policies | - |
| LIFF SDK Usage | Yes | Yes |
| Unifi Apps SDK Usage |
|
|
- Refer to LINE Integration documentation for detailed instructions.
- LINE MINI App and LINE Login LIFF are technically implemented by first integrating the Unifi Apps SDK into a base Web service, and then adding the LIFF SDK on top of it. Therefore, the Web and Unifi Apps SDK environment is inherently included from a technical perspective.
2. Web Version Development
Development of a web browser version for Non-LINE users is recommended.
To support the following features, the Unifi Apps SDK must be integrated into the web version:
- WalletProvider
- PaymentProvider (Crypto / Stripe Fiat)
3. Web3 Integration (WalletProvider)
Unifi Apps SDK enables wallet features such as account creation and ownership verification.
| Version | Supported Wallet Types |
|---|---|
| LINE MINI App |

| LINE Login LIFF |
|
| Web |

4. Payment Integration (PaymentProvider)
To support monetization, all Unifi Apps must provide in-app item purchases.
| Version | Supported Payment Methods |
|---|---|
| LINE MINI App | IAP payments |
| LINE Login LIFF | Crypto & Stripe (Fiat) payments |
| Web | Crypto & Stripe (Fiat) payments |
Refer to Payment Provider documentation for detailed instructions.

| Version | Demo Submission/Review Authority |
