General Questions

I have an app that offers subscriptions on both the App Store and the Google Play Store. The user can subscribe to a monthly/3-month/annual plan in the app. I’m thinking about raising prices only for new subscribers, but after reading https://docs.revenuecat.com/docs/price-changes and questions posted in the community, I’m still not 100% sure how to proceed, especially when it comes to Google Play. My setup is pretty straightforward:RC:Single entitlement, associated with all products, that gives “unlimited” access to the app 3 products (1m/3m/1y) for the App Store 3 products (1m/3m/1y) for the Google Play Store 3 packages to group 1m/3m/1y products Single offering that contains the 3 packagesApp Store1 subscription group that contains 3 subscriptions (1m/3m/1y

Hi everyone,for the transparency in our privacy policy, we need to know how long the user related data is stored in the systems of RevenueCat. Of course, this depends on how long a subscription is, so I could imagine something like “12 months after a subscription has ended”.Unfortunately, I haven’t found anything in RevenueCats privacy policy, so I’m asking here for a helpful note :)Best,Ben

Hello, I have a question on how to implement RevenueCat in our react native app and would like to verify if i configured the products correctly. So i have 1 subscription group in the app store with product a monthly, a yearly, b monthly, b yearly, a+b monthly and a+b yearly.I added these 1 to 1 in products in RevenueCat. Then I made 3 entitlements: a, b and a+b and added their monthly and yearly product. These are the 3 levels of access. These 3 levels i want to show in the app. When a user already has subscription a and purchase b it needs to go to a+b. Now i get confused with offerings because i create a default one and can only add 1 monthly and 1 yearly product. What I do now to show the products in the app is with Purchases.getOfferings() and then made 3 off

I am making a test purchase for a monthly subscription. It happens correctly the first time and for the correct user. I am using the always accept visa card from google testers. There is exactly one renewal happening which is fine and the second time I get CANCELLATION with BILLING_ERROR on the sandbox. 

If a user subscribes to a free trial, cancels that free trial, and then later attempts to initiate a free trial again for the same product, they are immediately (and unexpectedly) charged by Apple. Our app has language around free trials, and we’d love to find a way to dynamically update this language to no longer mention the free trial once the user is no longer eligible under these conditions. Is there any way for us to know whether a user is, according to Apple, eligible for a free trial?

Hi TeamI have integrated RevenueCat InApp purchase. I created subscription details screen in mobile app. Like Current plan name, status, period etc. which are fetch the details from backend server. We are managing all events on backend side then mobile side, We are fetching those details from the server via REST API. So plan status is Active once cancel current subscription plan from App store. It should be receive cancel event in web hook and get updated status from backend api.What is solution for get web hook event on time. ?

Hello everybody!I've been working on a react-native project which already has a subscription flow that uses stripe on it's web version. The subscription is currently being managed in our back-end and basically, what we do, is to link an entity User (this one is generated in the register flow) to an entity Customer that is responsible for storing the payments data (this one is generated after a purchase is made through stripe). To keep the subscriptions status up to date, we have an endpoint that receives webhooks events from stripe and updates the data in our database. with that being said, the problem I'm facing right now is: As I'm using the revenuecat lib to perform the in-app purchase, how can I match each new purchase with a customer of my database?I've tried using the apple server notification service, which is working fine, but I don't know how to link the received payload to a user or a customer. If there is any data in there

Greetings,We have a product with subscription.  We offer 1-month, 6-month, and annual plans.  It’s already working on iOS and Android.On Web/Stripe, it can be done in two ways:Create one Product with 3 Price objects. Create three Products with one Price per Product.RevenueCat Doc says “In order for Stripe subscriptions to unlock entitlements, you must set a Product Identifier in the desired Offering to match a Stripe product ID exactly.”  Which, to us, means that it’s preferred to have 3 difference products (option 2 above).  That would also be in-line with Apple Store and Google Play.However, Stripe’s

Hi, I am developing an app in South Africa, can I use RevenueCat to accept payments / subscription payments in my country? ThanksBruno

Hi all, I am currently migrating to RevenueCat. My current user subscription details are stored in DB. I have used rest to migrate those over using the uuid for the user. But when a user registers on my platform, they get a 1 month free trial. This trial is basically a exp date set in the DB for the user without any interaction with Stripe, Google or Apple. My question is, how can I set this user up on revenuecat with a custom trail exp date if they without interaction with the Stripe, Google or Apple. Essentially adding a customer with a trail expiry date. Is this possible and if so how can I achieve this? Thanks

Is it possible to share in-app purchases between two different apps of the same platform? For example, I have an app that I want to phase out and rebuild a new one from the ground up, but I want my users purchases to transfer over without having to repurchase. I’ve added the two apps to a project and it seems like it can be done in entitlements, but haven’t figured out how to get it to work. The purchases just restore to their respective apps and won't share between. If so how? Or is there any documentation I can be pointed towards.

Getting a 429 on the https://api.revenuecat.com/v1/subscribers/app_user_id request. The response body has this:    {"code":7638,"message":"There is another request in flight trying to perform the same action."}The requests are made from backend webhook code where two webhook events for the same user get load balanced to two completely different servers. So, I do have 2 outstanding requests for the same user. I'm wondering if there is a way around this since the amount of work to coordinate a single outstanding request per user isn't trivial.Thanks,Ken    

Hello,We are looking for ways to integrate RevenueCat to our payment process but we are having a bit hard time to understand why payment verification in the server side is so hard or are we missing something?For the context, we are selling digital goods and our backend server needs to verify payments before completing the purchase flow and unlock the items for use of the client. The only way to achieve this at the moment [1] is using RestAPI and calling ` /subscribers` endpoint [2] but this seems a bit fragile because:SDK returns all purchases (historically) for a product as an array, so client needs to iterate this array and find the corresponding revenueCatId of the purchase that is being made. Lets assume that the last item is the last purchase, so sending that to our backend-server. Our backend calls ` /subscribers` endpoint which returns all purchases for all products for a subscriber. So the logic is the find the revenueCatId sent from client

Hello there, I’m currently trying to search for webhooks that have been missed due to server outage and I cannot find any past sent webhook that either got received or missed. Is there a way to look up the history of webhooks sent by RevenueCat or to recover the lost ones that didn’t get delivery confirmation? This is necessary because I use webhooks as a trigger to handle permission state changes that could affect our subscribers negatively if not handled. Is there any workaround?

Greetings, It seems like the only “Free Trial” option for Subscriptions on Android (Google Play) that RC supports is “Eligibility Criteria: New Customer Acquisition” in Play Store’s offers.  That’s the only backward-compatible offer that RC is accepting, per docs. This offer, on the Google Play side, is only limited to the new customers (either never had this, or never had any subscription(s)).  Now, consider that a user gets this package and cancels the renewal.  After a while, they come back and want to resubscribe to the same package.On the Google Side, the user is not eligible to the offer. So no 14 days trial

Hi, I am trying to dynamically display the trial duration of my annual product. I have found `trialDuration` on RC framework but I don’t know to use it? I am getting products like this:private var offering: Offering? = SubscriptionManager.shared.offerings?.currentand then need to access trial duration to display it via a text label. some thing like getting localizedPriceString.Any help would be great!

Hello, I have multiple subscription offers, but only need to see if a user is subscribed to at least one to give them access to premium features. Since I’ve started using RevenueCat years ago, I check `purchaserInfo.activeSubscriptions.isEmpty` but RevenueCat’s documentation says to use `purchaserInfo.entitlements.active.isEmpty`.  What’s the difference between the two methods?

I don’t understand in practice what this part of the documentation really mean:https://docs.revenuecat.com/docs/restoring-purchases#google-play-on-androidGoogle Play on AndroidDue to platform limitations, purchases will be transferred as soon as you call configure if a user's purchases are already associated with another app user ID.This may cause unexpected transfers of purchases between app user IDs, especially for apps with optional logins or users with multiple devices. To prevent this behavior, you should wait to call configure until you have the appropriate app user ID for your customer. My app is developed in Flutter, and I couldn’t find a “configure” method on the RevenueCat SDK for Flutter. Is it referring to the “setup”

Since you can have multiple apps inside one project, I’m wondering what the structure should look like?If I have two different apps, one game “Fighter”, and another unrelated app “MySocial”.Do I make these under the same project, or do I put them in seperate projects? Is the multiple-app thing meant for iOS & Android version of the same app?
