General Questions

when the user downloads the app, I want the App Store to display the subscription options there, which have to be selected to download.  I don’t have any “freemium” options, either you’re subscribed and access or not. Ideally there is no paywall. can this be achieved?

Hi RevenueCat community,We are going to open part of our application to unauthorised users.And we want our users to be able to purchase a Pro subscription before they even sign up.Customuse backend handles RevenueCat webhook events and tracks user subscriptions to control access to features. But it works with real user id’s only.Our thought was that after signing up, we could restore/transfer purchases made by anonymous user to the registered user (with a custom user ID) so that webhook event would be sent to our backend and we could assign the subscription. But it seems that instead of transferring, a simple aliasing takes place, and no webhook events are being sent.We're sure this is a typical scenario, and would appreciate it if you could advise how to approach this?How can we check on the backend side whether the user has active subscriptions in RevenueCat at the time of registration?Sincerely,Dmitry,

Hi,I’ve researched the subject for some time but I can’t quite figure out how is RevenueCat able to compute the takehome_percentage value for a certain transaction. I do understand that when somebody pays for a subscription the sdk knows the value + currency and it can extract the receipt then pass the actual transaction information to the api. What makes me wonder is how accurate is the takehome_percentage that RevenueCat’s webhook passes forward. In my mind the only way this would be possible is by looking inside the unified receipt and determine if that user was subscribed for more than a year, then apply the reduced percentage to the next transaction.Thank you

Inb4 great platform and docs ✋Hi, I’m almost finished with my iOS app and i’m at the point where i want to integrate in-app purchases. So far so good with settings up my project in revenuecat. My in app purchases is a common case of ​​​​​consumables - coin packages non-consumable - lifetime access auto-renewal subscriptions - silver / gold - monthly / yearlyI’m using firestore and cloud functions as db and backend, and i’ve also set up the revenuecat extension for firebase.  And let’s say on the user profile in firebase I have a field calledactive_subscription = silver / gold / free / lifetime Even though i’ve read lots of article about this, official documentation, examples etc, I still have some questions about certain flows especially Refunds I’m not sure how to handle them. If a refund is accepted by apple for a transaction, the ca

Hi,I want to ask is there any possibility to connect Stripe payment with RevenueCat subscription? I mean do stripe can create new user with subscription linked with stripe user base on webhook subscription?I have configured Stripe and Revenue cat like here.Also I want to ask where I can see request or events from `incoming-webhooks/stripe` endpoint?Or I can create in RevenueCat subscription by send request below?curl -X POST \ https://api.revenuecat.com/v1/receipts \ -H 'X-Platform: stripe' \ -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_REVENUECAT_API_KEY' \ -d '{ "app_user_id": "my_app_user_id", "fetch_token": "sub_xxxxxxxxxx" }' 

Hello. For the life of me, I cannot get the completion block to fire when making a purchase. Purchases all have gone through successfully but RevenueCat is not letting me know so that I can do post-transaction clean-up. [[RCPurchases sharedPurchases] purchasePackage:package withCompletion:^(RCStoreTransaction *transaction, RCCustomerInfo *customerInfo, NSError *error, BOOL cancelled) { NSLog(@"SUBSCRIPTION PURCHASED"); }];Notes: Running iOS 17.0.1 (have tried 15 as well). Testing in sandbox, multiple devices. Have created new sandbox user(s), logged out of device, deleted app, restarted device, restarted Xcode, cleaned build folder. Several times. Using Objective C.  Completion block for getOfferings and restorePurchases does work properly.  I know I’m new to RevenueCat, but everything else seems to be working fine, all except this all-important feature

Any chance to get offering metadata as JSON String? It’s fine when it’s only JSON object but not with JSON array. It’d be nice to map JSON to models if we can get it as String instead of map. 

Hello. As above really. We’ve been selling a product for a few months and have 50-60 customers who have bought it. We’ve realised we need a new entitlement for this product, which I've created, and I now need to update everyone who has bought this product to give them this new entitlement. Is this possible? Thank you, George

Hello, is there an API  to get all the subscription infos of our our customers? Our goal is to connect it to a google sheet where we would display all the neccesary data to run some analytics. One issue that we currently have is that we cannot filter the people that cancelled due to a billing reason and the once that opted out. Getting all the subscriptions with their related info would be a good way to solve this. Thank you very much 

My iOS/Android app was hacked by some users and now they can bypass the payment process and access all the pro content of my app.Does Revenuecat help to prevent that by double authenticate before unlocking the pro content? 

One of my customers is getting this error: “Failed to connect to api.revenuecat.com/54.92.158.15:443” When I try to ping the IP address from my local machine, the request times out. Any ideas what might be causing this issue? Is the revenuecat API down? Or perhaps API IP changed but DNS issue?

Hi, I have a xamarin app and am testing on a physical device.I can make a purchase in the sandbox environment, and would like to test if the unsubscribedetected flag get’s correctly set.unfortunately after having made a succesfull purchase, and navigating to the subscriptions screen, I see no subscriptions are shown (and thus can’t be cancelled) is this scenario available for testing?Since I use xamarin I can’t test on the simulator (as far as i know)

I use RevenueCat in my app, I wanted to know how I can proceed to connect with Stripe through payment links, in the Stripe form I have a custom field where the user enters his code, the one necessary for RevenueCat to pick up the user (USER ID). Any idea how I can do that?

In my app, I am trying to use Purchases.setAttibutes() to capture user settings and store them in Firestore. I had hoped that the attributes would appear in a document generated by the Firebase RevenueCat extension, but the attributes do not appear. Is this possible? If not, where are these attributes actually stored?

During testing, when the subscription expires, the user still appears to have premium status in the iOS app, even though the RevenueCat server has already updated its status. The app seems to remain in premium status until I close and reopen it multiple times.I understand this might be an issue with my app. I've implemented a ViewModel and set it to refresh when the subscription status changes. However, it doesn't recognize when the subscription has expired.How can I address this problem? Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hello! I wanted to transfer my application to another developer account. what actions should I take in RevenueCat?

I'm currently working on an application project with FlutterFlow and would like to ask for your advice and expertise. The aim of my application is to enable users to create online training courses, while other users will be able to subscribe and pay monthly for access to these courses.However, I'm facing a major challenge. I'm looking to see if it's possible to implement a feature that allows users to dynamically create products on the RevenueCat platform. RevenueCat is mainly used to manage subscriptions and revenues in mobile applications, but it doesn't seem to offer any functionality to allow users to dynamically create products or training courses.So, I'd like to gather your knowledge and experience in this area. Have you already worked on a similar project, or do you have any ideas on how to handle this functionality? Are there alternatives to RevenueCat that could meet this need? I'm open to any suggestions, ideas or advice you may have.Thank you for your

From webhook docs: With webhooks integrated, you can:Remind subscribers of the benefits of your app when they decide to unsubscribe, or let them know when there are billing issues   And… that’s it. No more bullet points. Is that really all RC webhooks are for? Feels like someone accidentally trimmed the list of use cases. I’m looking to change my users documents in my database after certain events: subscription, cancellation, etc. Am I looking in the right place? PS: Now, I’m pretty sure I’m looking in the right place, but hopefully the team can take this feedback to improve that particular section of the docs.

The Google Play Services credentials documentation from Revenue Cat walks through a step (1) in the API Access page of the Google Play Console. However, that page no longer exists: Can step 1 be ignored now? PS: Google Play docs definitely need to be updated.

Good afternoonWe would like to understand better what you consider “Unsubscribe Detected At” in the documentation here: https://www.revenuecat.com/docs/customer-info If a user turn-off auto-renew, does that property gets enable with the date when the user turned it off? Thank you 

After I implement RevenueCat with Swift Package Manager, everything works fine till user verification process. I create a checkStatus function: class SettingsController: UIViewController {static var subscriptionStatus = false Purchases.shared.getCustomerInfo {(customerInfo, error) in            if let error = error {                print("Get Customer Status Error: \(error.localizedDescription)")            } else {                if customerInfo?.entitlements[RevenueCatAPI.entitlementID]?.isActive == true {                    DispatchQueue.main.async {                        SettingsController.subscriptionStatus = true                        print(SettingsController.subscriptionStatus)                    }

I am getting the following warning in my application.

Hello! New RC user here. 👋Regarding the practice of offering a default “standard” price on a paywall during onboarding only, and then offering a discount price when the paywall is triggered elsewhere within the app: 1st question: Obviously I can use the “current” offering for the onboarding process. However, after that I will need to hard-code the “discount offering” title into the app, correct? 2nd question: If I want to remotely remove the “discount offering” at a later time (and show default only), is it safe to delete the offering in the RC dashboard and just code my app to show the “current” offering on default?I would appreciate any thoughts or suggestions on this strategy. Thanks! Note: on iOS, using separate Subscription Groups for each product. 

When creating multiple offerings (ie. for sales or A/B testing), I understand it’s recommended that iOS devs use separate subscription groups so that users only see one offering in iOS subscription management page. HOWEVER...Question: What happens when a current user reinstalls on a new device and hits “Purchase” instead of “Restore Purchases”? With the separate subscription groups approach, there is the chance they will be double-charged if get the “B offering” when they originally purchased the “A offering”, correct? 😬Comments? Suggestions? Thx.
