General Questions

Users can purchase gold coins through IAP in my app. How can I synchronize the gold coin balance across the user's devices (logged in with the same Google ID or Apple ID)? I don’t want to force users log in. In-app subscriptions are bound to the Google or Apple account and don’t require login. How can I achieve a similar functionality for gold coins? Can I obtain a unique ID representing the Google ID or Apple ID when the user makes a purchase? Then, when the user recharges or spends gold coins, the unique ID can be sent to my server to update the gold coin balance? (Essentially, using this unique ID as a credential for an invisible user system.)

Hi, I’m looking for a way to grant users of my app entitlements, such as one week of free premium access.The problem is that if a user has never interacted with Purchases, they don’t appear in the RevenueCat dashboard.I can get the user ID from Supabase, but I can’t find a way to manually add this user to the RevenueCat dashboard so I can grant them entitlements.I know there’s a way to do this through the API, but is there really no way to add a new user directly in the dashboard when I already have the user ID?

Hi RevenueCat team,I’m experiencing an issue where the Attribution dashboard no longer shows any Apple Search Ads (ASA) keyword data. All traffic is now being classified as “organic,” even though I can clearly see subscription conversions coming from Apple Search Ads in App Store Connect.The data displayed in RevenueCat seems incorrect or incomplete. My Apple Search Ads setup appears normal, and the app has shown successful conversions. However, RevenueCat has not shown any ASA attribution data for almost a month, and my app code has not changed during that time.Could you please help me troubleshoot this issue? Why is RevenueCat no longer receiving or displaying Apple Search Ads attribution data?Thank you!

I'm currently in the process of migrating from Stripe to Paddle for my web purchases. For the previous web checkout that was processed through Stripe, I would use redemption links so new customers (without an account) could purchase the product directly off our website. Now I have Paddle set up as a web payment option but the Web purchase links section does not include the option to enable redemption links. It does show up in the Stripe-powered web checkout settings. How can I enable redemption links for my new panel configuration? No place to activate Redemption Links on my Paddle settingsThe old web checkout has redemption links as an option. 

I’m using revenuecat for an app called Snap Tap Relax. I’ve doing a free trial and get over 130 free trials but more 85% results in billing errors. That doesn’t include people who cancel. Everything is set up correctly I still get some free trials converting so seems to be set up correctly. I hear others having similar problems.Just was curious if anyone ever solved this? This is on Google Play where it’s happening. I read on revenuecat yearly state of address billing errors for android are up to 29%.  Which is not adding up on my end or what I’m seeing others reporting even on IOS. And just so you know i’m running google app promotions campaigns and optimizing for people who do a free trial plus do a relaxation session.  So a better signal to send back to optimize for instead of just free trials. And get about 10 conversions per day. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

For our particular requirements, we need to render custom variables that are passed in at run time in the app, during the Paywall display call.Ideal Paywall Content:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------RechargeBalance: 0 8 Coins short[20 coins] [★ 50 coins]  [100 coins] … etc  PURCHASE button  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Where the user’s current balance and how many coins short are displayed, and the ★ recommended token pack is auto selected.Will RevenueCat ever support this type of use case? Or is it possible to do that now in React Native?  

I have a new-ish app that launched about 2 months ago. I launched the app without RevenueCat, but added it about a week later. I had done a few thousand installs and trial starts during that period. As a result of adding the RevenueCat SDK late, my early data on the platform is totally messed up (missing data, incorrect subscription retention metrics, etc).Can I simply import all of my purchases (server-side, using app store server notifications which I have stored) and expect RC to handle it seamlessly? This means creating the previously unseen customers, merging the seen customers with their newly received ASSNs, etc. Else, how can I fix the bad data I have for the first week of my app?

Hey everyone 👋We’ve recently moved to RevenueCat, and I’m trying to rebuild one of the key analytics workflows we used before- analyzing Trials, LTV, and Refunds broken down by Media Source.In our setup, the app sends attribution data using the $mediaSource field, following the RevenueCat documentation.I can see that this value (e.g. Traffic Source) is correctly displayed in each Customer Details page — so the attribution data is definitely being passed and received.However, I’m running into two issues: I don’t see a “New Chart” (+) button anywhere in the Charts section, even though I’m on the Pro plan and have the Admin role. I can’t find any way to filter or segment existing charts by $mediaSource.  I’ve already tried the usual troubleshooting st

I have added localization through RevenueCat which has updated the text content. I would like to change the main image for each language to help improve conversions by country. Is it possible to “localize” the image in addition to the text copy?This question was from another user, but has been closed for comments.. I need to know also?!

Hello,We are currently utilizing the API to track purchased products and the total balance of virtual currencies.We have noticed that detailed virtual currency transaction history is not available through the API, only via the UI.Are there any plans on the roadmap to expose the full transaction log? Additionally, it would be extremely valuable to include a reference ID field for each virtual currency transaction made through the API, allowing us to connect the transaction directly to a specific action or event, rather than relying solely on timestamps for correlation.We look forward to hearing about your API development plans.Thank you.

Hey,sorry but I can not wrap my head around how people manage to not exceed their rate-limit of the API v2 if they have a lot of users on their app?Imagine this:I have 10.000 Users, a VERY low user-base in terms of possibilities in Google Play Store AND Apple App Store. I also use the Currency Function of RC, so I not only need to update the Currency via API v2 but I also need to check sometimes if the user still has enough credits on his RC-Account to either stop him from accessing token-based functions or allowing him to do so.So 1 User does 2-3 API v2 Calls to RC for accessing a Tool in my App.You see the problem? 10.000 Users but only 30 of them can use the app per Minute, since the rate-limits exceeds otherwise. How should I manage a Delay-Function in my Backend, if 1000 Users try to API-Call and Update their currency on RC? It would take 30min, till the 1000. User has done his API call.For 2000 Reque

Recently Google introduced one time products. Do we need to update any libraries? Asking for react-native purchases specifically.

We are using the Keep with original App User ID option for the restore behaviour, as it seems to be the best option for our business logic. We are handling the RECEIPT_ALREADY_IN_USE error when the user tries to restore a purchase, which indicates that the subscription is already associated with another App User ID.If this error is thrown, we show a popup asking the user to log in with the email they were logged in with when they purchased the subscription. However, there doesn’t seem to be an easy way to tell the user which email that was, and it’s quite likely they might not remember.So my question is, how can I get the conflicting App User ID that’s causing the error? We use the RC Firebase extension, so I should have the account details (email) for any App User ID available to share with the user, but how can I get the relevant App User ID?My guess is that the original_transaction_id wo

Hi there! I’m Jon. I’m building an app for the Play Store and I was wondering if it’s possible to set up a non-renewing free trial on Android. On iOS, it’s pretty straightforward since I can just create a $0 non-consumable as the free trial. However, I don’t think it’s possible to do the same in the Play Store.I want to post on here to see if anyone else is wondering the same thing as me and what are the different ways I can set up this kind of free trial on Android.Thanks and I look forward to hearing from everyone soon! :D

Hi RevenueCat Team,I'd like to suggest an improvement to the feature request process.From what I've observed, new feature ideas are currently posted as regular forum topics. While the team is responsive in acknowledging them, the threads are often closed after the request is "forwarded to the team."This process can feel like a bit of a black box for users. We don't have a way to see if a feature is being actively considered, its priority, or an estimated timeline. I personally suggested two features about a year ago, and the lack of a clear status update makes it discouraging to contribute new ideas.I propose creating a dedicated feature request portal/page. A system like this would be a huge win-win: Prioritization: It would allow users to upvote and comment on requests, giving your team a clear signal of what the community needs most. Transparency: A status (e.g., "Planned," "In Progress

Please, help. We need the answer for android and IOS.  

Hi I’d like to check whats the best practice / what are developers doing to figure out what people actually payed for after using the paywall.I have two products users can choose from.A one off payment to pay for “tokens” (Consumable)  A monthly subscriptionWhen a Customer pays for something, this triggers an event on  `addCustomerInfoUpdateListener` To figure out If they subscribed I check ‘activeSubscriptions’ .. If a subscription is in the array then I know thats what they bought  But if they choose a consumable, im looking at  `nonSubscriptionTransactions` I can see a purchaseDate for each one. Do I look at the date to figure out if they just made the purchase? Whats best practice here? Thanks  

In App Store Connect, I’ve set up one subscription group that contains the following four auto-renewable subscriptions: PREMIUM – Monthly PREMIUM – Weekly SIGNATURE – Monthly SIGNATURE – Weekly   im currently testing my application in Sandbox and Testflight but when user upgrade from one plan to another as long as its not the same plan the auto renew turns off automatically im confused is it just a sandbox and testflight thing? coz the autorenew keep working 5 6 times if its the same subscription but when user upgrade or downgrade to another plan it turns off   

I’ve recently migrated my React Native application from using react-native-iap for handling in-app subscriptions to RevenueCat.I’m wondering how this migration affects existing users who already purchased a subscription through the old react-native-iap setup. Specifically: Will those users automatically retain access to their premium features once I switch to RevenueCat? If not, what steps do I need to take to ensure their previously active subscriptions are recognized in RevenueCat? Do I need to do anything special (such as syncing historical purchases or importing users) for RevenueCat to detect their old subscriptions? Additionally, my app already includes a “Restore Purchases” button that previously worked with react-native-iap.If I now connect that button to RevenueCat’s restore method (Purchases.res

The iOS sandbox is all messed up on my user/device - constantly hanging while getting offerings resulting in paywalls not being shown 99% of the time & if it does, should I try to subscribe it just hangs… So i try to work around this by granting entitlements from the RC dashboard.  I choose SANDBOX environment, grant a subscription, and after the success message, I reload the page.  Nothing there...if I toggle OFF the sandbox, the entitlement I granted is there!?  Is that expected?

Hi everyone,I'm facing two critical subscription issues that are happening only on Android, and I'm hoping to find a solution. Our iOS implementation is working perfectly with the same RevenueCat setup.The Setup: I'm using RevenueCat's built-in Paywalls. My app has two tiers: "Plus" (lower) and "Pro" (higher). Both the Plus and Pro packages are correctly configured within the same Offering in the RevenueCat dashboard. Both products are set up in the Google Play Console with a 7-day free trial. Problem 1: Concurrent Subscriptions on Upgrade (Android Only)If a user with an active "Plus" subscription tries to upgrade to "Pro", they end up with both subscriptions active at the same time. The old "Plus" subscription is not replaced.On iOS, the same action correctly performs an upgrade, so I

Hello, this is all about Android, iOS works fine.The title sums it all basically. Little code environment context - I do launch a new activity upon purchase under singleTop launchmode. So it’s separated from my singleTask Main Activity.Now the issue. When user gets a bank redirect to verify payment, it all goes well, everything works, they confirm. But once they go back via the hardware button, the purchase gets cancelled. If they background the bank verification and bring my app forward, it all works as expected. What should about it? Thank you. <activity android:name=".PurchaseActivity" android:theme="@style/AppTheme" android:launchMode="singleTop" android:taskAffinity="cz.erudita.app" android:excludeFromRecents="true" android:alwaysRetainTaskState="true" android:clearTaskOnLaunch="false"

Hello, I’ve successfully setup webhooks, and it works if i send test webhook from the dashboard (i receive webhook event payload on my backend). However, from my app (expo react native), I am using a test store (ios for now), and when I make a purchase (purchase is successful and appears on the dashboard transaction list) webhook never triggers? What could be the issue here?

I have a couple of products that require Web Billing :Mobile App (Apple & Android) Mapped app store products for RC Web Billing with the Stripe integration, but using RevenueCat Web to handle the user flow. RevenueCat has the “Stripe Account” in my project ✅ The products “disappeared” from Stripe when I upgraded the stripe environment. As far as i can tell, everything is working…   I see the subscription active in my user’s sandbox details within RevenueCat NOW, I am adding a new tier of products - for WEB ONLY - there is no mobile app reference for this I did not setup products in St

​Hello RevenueCat Team,​I am facing an issue where users in the United States (iOS/Android) and potentially other non-TRY regions are being shown the incorrect currency and pricing. Although the user is entering from the US, the app displays prices in Turkish Lira (₺).​The Problem:​Expected Behavior: US users should see prices in $ USD (e.g., $4.99/month).​Current Behavior: US users are seeing ₺ TRY prices (e.g., ₺38.99/mo) which are likely pulled from the default Offering or used as a fallback price in my Dart/Flutter code.​Technical Details and Observations:​RevenueCat Offering Targeting Setup:​Default Offering (default): Set up as the default for Turkey and other regions (likely containing TRY prices).​Custom Rule: I have defined a specific targeting rule for the US and UK: IF Country = US, UK -> Show Offering for US, UK.​Suspected Issue (Fallback): I suspect that the user in the US is failing to receive the specific "Offer
