Issues Handling landscape paywalls (Android 16 / Web Paywall Editor)?

Hi,

I’m using the RevenueCat Web Paywall Editor and would like to keep using it (no custom paywall in code).

With Android 16, forcing portrait is no longer allowed → I now need proper landscape support.

Current challenges:

  • Paywall is optimized for portrait, but breaks in landscape (height constraints)

  • Editor only provides FIT / FILL / FIXED — no responsive rules

  • No way to:

    • show/hide elements based on orientation

    • adjust layout/spacing per orientation

  • Tried switching images from FILL → FIT, but still not getting good results

Questions:

  • What are the best practices to design a paywall that works well in both portrait & landscape using the Web Editor?

  • Is the expected approach:

    • one responsive layout?

    • or multiple paywalls handled in the app?

  • Any docs / examples for landscape optimization?

Thanks

Update / Solution (in case it helps others):

I found that the issue was mainly caused by the Footer not being scrollable. All the important actions (packages, CTA, etc.) were inside the footer, so in landscape they could get cut off while the rest of the content was scrollable.

What worked for me:

  • I moved the purchase actions (packages + CTA + related text) out of the Footer
  • Placed them inside the main scrollable content stack

This way:

  • The whole paywall becomes properly scrollable
  • No more content getting stuck in a non-scrollable footer
  • Works well in landscape without needing a custom paywall

Not a perfect “responsive” solution, but a solid workaround with the current Paywall Builder
