I have set up an subscription product in play console with the intention to evoke the offer with the revenuecat paywall in app. The paywall works correctly, but the problem is that the subscription must be bought before download. How to developers configure their apps to be free for download with in-app subscription purchases?

Hi ​@jesplind,

Do you mind explaining what you mean with the subscription must be bought before download?
The subscriptions are sold and purchased in the paywall - the app can either be free to download or with a price. You can find here how to configure the subscription products in Google Play.

 

Best,

Thank you for the reply Joan. I thought the setting the app to free in play console affected in-app purchases as well but figured out that setting only consider at download and thus should be set to free (problem solved).
