General Questions

If I post a receipt to RevenueCat when a Stripe customer begins a subscription (as described here), will I receive webhooks from RevenueCat the same as for the App Store (i.e., trial start, payment made, subscription cancelled events)?

Hi,On iOS (and eventually Mac)I would like my app to **immediately begin a free trial the first time it is used** without prompting the user to subscribe.  During the trial I would like the UI to show how long is left before the trial expires.  During and after the trial I would like the user to be able to purchase a subscription.(I want to do this because I believe there is a barrier to starting a free trial that rolls in to a subscription, even though it can be freely cancelled.) Is this use scenario possible? Or do I need the user to actively choose to start a trial?  If the user does have to start a trial, do trials have to automatically subscribe, or can they just run out, and then the user can choose to subscribe? If this is documented, I’d be very happy to be referred to a link, but I’ve not found a description of exactly which scenario

Hello everyone, I am completely new to RevenueCat.I have an iOS-app, which has 2 different monthly subscriptions:    - The Silver Subscription (Monthly, a few premium features)    - The Gold Subscription (Monthly, all premium features).Fairly simple. Under Offerings → Default Offering, I created a package with the monthly Gold Subscription: I now want to add the Silver Subscription (which is also monthly). But when I try to add a new monthly package, it gives me an error saying: The package's display name or identifier already exists for this app.And if I try to attach the Silver Subscription to the already created package with the identifier $rc_monthly, it replaces the Gold Subscription, instead of “adding” the Silver Subscription to the Products. My Questio

Hello support team,I have setup yearly subscription in google play and getting that offer by revenue cat. I created yearly package for 60 usd. I usually offer discount code to users. So I want when user apply discount code in yearly package, they will get 20% discount on 60 USD. is it possible to do? Please let me know.

I'm currently facing an issue with implementing promo codes in my app. Currently, my app has only one subscription, but we would like to provide different "promo codes" that offer discounts on the subscription based on the code entered. After reading the documentation on promo codes for Android, I discovered that the Play Console promo codes don't exactly meet our requirements. They only allow for providing free trials to users and don't directly support subscription discounts. However, I came across the "subscription offers" feature and had an idea of creating a subscription offer with the criteria "developer determined." This way, I could create an offer with a discount and maintain a list of valid codes within the app. When a user enters a valid code on the app paywall, the offer with the discounted price should be applied to their purchase. With this plan in mind, I created a developer-determined offer yesterday. Today, I'm trying to find a way to ret

If I submit a payment profile in the Google Play Console and it is declined, will the payment not go through?It works fine in the sandbox test, but when I try to make a real payment, it returns an OR-FGEMF-20 error.

I’d like to use RevenueCat’s open source SDK for handling subscriptions in a React Native expo app. It’s not clear to me from the docs which features are paid or free. My goal is to use RevenueCat for two reasons: To avoid creating a bridge for both Apple and Google without having to use native code To have the above with a single API for both platforms within a React Native Expo appI would like to start by implementing free features first, and then slowly add paid features on top when needed. Could you point me to any relevant resources that may explain these differences? 

I created this app with Expo and made a couple of offerings with Revenuecat. Now I want to test it. The packages appear,I hit subscribe, The popup appears, I write password and hit subscribe, It says done (without the tick appearing, just a circle) and the whole popup disappears, but after 3 seconds, the purchase popup (Sandbox) reappears again and again. No matter how many times I hit subscribe, it says done and re-appears. There is no record of subscription in my Revenuecat account (yes the sandbox checkbox ticked), and I have registered a sandbox user (valid email with a password) on App Store users. I’m very new to Sandbox testing and I use iOS simulator (17). Does anyone know what to do form here? Checked the Internet and not much was found. By the way, the code does not seem to go through anything after the purchase, it does not show the `console.log` after the function: Here’s the purchase function: 

I have React Native project. How do we prevent a user from creating multiple accounts and sharing the logins with different users Example: Someone subscribe to the app. The have a monthly subscription and access to entitlement ALets say I have a login process that the user create and sign into an account (Account A). Now lets say that account A purchases an in app purchase and I am using the id of Account A as the sign in user for RevenueCat. If Account A purchase a subscription they will have access to content with Entitlement Pro. Now lets say that this same user logout. From my understand is that RevenueCat create an anonymous user and also create alias between the Account A and anonymous user. Now let say from the same device register a new account (Account B) if they press the restore purchase button RevenueCat will give access to this user and create an Amuse between the accountsNow if a person share the login information of account B

I feel like a simple, but valuable update to the web paywall links would be the ability to change the subscribe button colors. The black is universal, but kind of flat and unappealing. Being able to set the hex code for those buttons ourselves would be a simple way to enhance the checkout experience. 

I have set up the RevenueCat Paywall. The Paywall works correctly on my iOS app but Android app does not show the paywall.No matter what paywall I choose in RevenueCat, it only show the one below. Do I miss any setup process? 

In my desktop app, I use Stripe, connected to my RevenueCat account, to display a web page with a Stripe paywall (I use a Payment Link to keep it simple), and then call the RevenueCat REST API to:list my offerings purchase a product through Stripe check if a user has purchased my one-time payment product or not recover a one-time payment purchaseI want to interact with those APIs directly from my app, since I don’t have any back-end.So in order to test that, I tried for example to call the following endpoint, in order to get my offerings, using Postman:https://api.revenuecat.com/v2/projects/{project_id}/offeringsAs described in the documentation, I use the “Authorization” header.And here is my problem:if I use my secret API key (that I created with the right au

I want to experiment when I show the paywall to users. For example, I want to start with 3 experiments - show it immediately after they sign up, or one week later, or one month later. Making the game free completly without a trial period or subscription until that moment. I already setup 6 offerings with different price points and presentations of price options. I suppose I can create 18 offerings which are the same 6 offerings but on the 3 different time delays, but that seems like a lot. Is there a simpler way to experiment with when to show the user the paywall?

I have some apps in Brazil and I'm starting the process to receive payments with payment methods outside of Google Play, but in the RevenueCat documentation I didn't find any way to receive payments with Google Play's Alternative Billing, with the help of RevenueCat.  Is it possible or will I need to use Google's official means for this. Using flutter.

Hi guys, We have the following scenario : - User is anonymous in the app, purchase subscription.- RevenueCat associates subscription with that anonymous user ID.- Our backend receives webhooks for the INITIAL_PURCHASE associated with the anonymous user id.- User signs up with our backend. User is attributed a unique user ID.- Our backend is unaware that the user has a subscription.- When the mobile apps tries to access some features (let's say GET /documents), they get an unauthorized error. Currently, the strategy we plan to use is to explicitly refresh a user subscription when the user tries to access the feature (GET /documents) and has no associated subscription. This means the feature is not paywalled in the mobile app, so the mobile app is aware of a subscription but not the server. Do you have any other stra

I understand that RevenueCat Flutter SDK does not support web, only mobile devices.  Our payment provider is Stripe.  I see you do have a REST API that I can use in Flutter.  So my question is how do I design a complete checkout process with Stripe and RevenueCat?  I don’t see any examples of this online.

Hi Does RevenueCat already handle Apple’s Win-back offers on React native? I can’t find any information about this new type of offer. https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=8utnewzk Thanks!   

We’re currently at the testing phase for subscriptions, and are running into some challenges. We’ve made sandbox user accounts on our devices, but when we test subscriptions in our apps, the default apple ID is used. It’s not billing us, but it throws the subscription into a weird state of limbo where it’s not a real subscription that shows up on my personal apple ID, and it’s not a sandbox purchase which shows up under that subscription listing. We do see the sandbox purchases in Revenue Cat, but we’re unclear how to delete a subscription that doesn’t appear under our personal apple ID or the sandbox ID?I’m seeing one work around is to logout with the personal Apple ID, and then make a sandbox purchase, logging in with the sandbox ID. However, logging out of an iPhone totally jacks up the device as that’s connected to like everything -- not an ideal solution.The real #1 question is how to delete subscriptions so we can retest, ideally without having to log out of our

Hello,I’d like to request for a possibility to add the OR operator when defining rules in Targeting.Currently it is only possibly to add the AND operator for matchers.It’s really cumbersome to create a single rule that can match Android app versions 2.2+ and iOS app version 2.3+ and in the same time adding a test versions of the app regardless the version.We’d need to create 3 rules in order to achieve that, duplicating all the placements we have in each rule.Adding the OR logical operator would allow us to do this in a single rule.Here’s an exampleAny chance for that soon?

Hi, our team is currently planning to use Unity-Polyspatial to develop apps to Vision Pro devices, and I would like to know if the SDK for unity currently supports Unity apps on Vision OS!

I want to be able to find the sum of the total amount spent among some users. I see that total spent is available in the dashboard, but I don't see it in the rest API. I would really appreciate some suggestions.  Sondre Sørbye

Hi community, We started an in-app subscription pricing experiment following Revenue Cat’s best practices.  All is going smoothly except we see that the control and experiment subscription group pricing are both visible in the App Store under “in-app purchase”.  Some similar apps with subscriptions also have duplication in the price listing like we do, but not all of them. Is this unavoidable?  Are there other best practices around experiments to manage display of experimental and control pricing in the App Store?   Advice appreciated!

In the Apple App Store, we’re currently offering a 1-week free trial for our annual subscription, and I was wondering what is the best practice for monthly? Perhaps a 3-day trial, or no trial for monthly in order to encourage annual? Thanks!

Hi,We’re developing an app for iOS and Android with React Native. We want to use RevenueCat as payment provider. Our test with Android works fine. But on iOS an error occurred:Error 23 on iOSWe understand that something in our configuration is causing an issue. But we can’t get the error handling correctly on React Native. We looked at:https://www.revenuecat.com/docs/test-and-launch/errorshttps://www.revenuecat.com/docs/test-and-launch/debuggingBut both of these pages doesn’t show React Native examples.Can someone show us an ex
