General Questions

Hello,url = f"https://api.revenuecat.com/v2/projects/{project_id}/customers/{customer_id}/active_entitlements"The above URL returns a list of active entitlements for my sandbox environment which is great - I noticed for some of the other endpoints there is an “environment” field which looks to toggle between sandbox/production - does the above endpoint have an equivalent ?Couldn’t find any reference on how to distinguish between the sandbox/production data for this particular endpoint - there was mention of their being a “sandbox” flag but I can’t seem to find it.Hope that makes sense!

I have a product linked to an entitlement. When making the purchase in sandbox mode, the entitlement only appears in the RevenueCat Dashboard when the ViewSandbox toggle is on. That’s fine as it is expected behavior.My question is how I can view those sandbox entitlements on the app?I’m assuming the best way to verify a user’s subscription status is to check their entitlements, which I believe is done with getCustomerInfo(). However, despite having the appropriate sandbox entitlement, the CustomerInfo.entitlements ALWAYS comes back empty in the app. I understand that the entitlements are in the sandbox, but I’d like to see the app’s behavior when fetching the entitlements.Is it possible to fetch sandbox entitlements without having to go through the purchase/restore purchase sequence?

Hello? First, I would like to thank you for your hard work. Thanks to Revenue Cat, we are able to make our payment flow more efficient. Thank you.I am working on synchronizing user subscription statuses using Revenue Cat's SDK and Web Hook. While working, I have some questions regarding the following:During the App's Life Cycle, when CustomerInfo changes, what is the relationship between the timing of this change and the timing when the WebHook event sends a request to the backend server? Is there no guarantee that the request for the WebHook event is sent before the CustomerInfo is updated? If there is no relationship between them, how can we manage the user's subscription status with the database?  Users can purchase products both <1> during the app's life cycle and <2> outside of the app's life cycle, with the latter case being when they can directly change their subscription products. How does Revenue Cat detect subscription-related action

We have integrated RevenueCat Android SDK with our native Android app. Almost all of the purchases are handled as expected but sometimes it doesn’t. I observed very few customers have been facing the below PurchaseError.PurchasesError(code=PurchaseInvalidError, underlyingErrorMessage=Couldn’t find existing purchase for SKU: {subscription_id}, message=‘One or more of the arguments provided are invalid.’) I read the source code of the purchases-android SDK, and if my understanding is correct, this error occurs when it fetches purchase history via BillingClient and there’s no record that matches with the subscription ID set by `PurchaseParams::oldProductId({subscription_id})`.I believe it is NOT something like network issue or service unavailable error, etc, since if there’s an issue between client and Google billing system, it should NOT go through the code that emits the PurchaseError in question. (should go onError route

Apologies if this post isn't directly related to RevenueCat. I'm aware that this community is highly interested in matters related to Google Billing, so I'd like to seek your valuable input on the following topic.Ever since the introduction of Google Play Billing Library 5, a concept of a 'base plan' has been included in Subscriptions.A single subscription can have multiple base plans. These base plans can be set up for either monthly or yearly billing.Currently, we have an existing monthly subscription plan.If we want to introduce a yearly subscription plan, here's what we need to consider."Add base plan" in existing subscription plan. Use ProductD

Hello. I'm testing in sandbox with AppStore. I was trying to test my some subscription plans yesterday.Almost of all are success.But one of them was failure, because I received a response below.I mean, "type" is "RENEW", but "price" and “price_in_purchased_currency" are null. Today I was re-try to test the same subscription plan.It was success. Which kind of cases, is the price will be null? response: yesterday{  "api_version": "1.0",  "event": {    "aliases": [      “hogehoge"    ],    "app_id": “hogehoge",    "app_user_id": “hogehoge",    "country_code": "JP",    "currency": "USD",    "entitlement_id": null,    "entitlement_ids": [      "Subscriptions"    ],    "environment": "SANDBOX",    "event_timestamp_ms": 1649142391767,    "expiration_at_ms": 1649144185000,

Hej -- so I’ve read several topics here about the best way to increase pricing of existing subscriptions in both iOS and Android, and wanted to make sure if I got this right, because it all feels very complicated for what should be a very common use case.Let’s say we want to increase price from 1.99 to 2.99 for a monthly subscription, and 19.99 to 29.99 for a yearly subscription, both in the same “Subscription Group” in iOS, and in the same “Subscription” in Android.We want to grandfather existing users; so ideally everybody paying 1.99 right now, will keep paying that amount until they cancel, and will still be able to upgrade to the 19.99 yearly subscription.There seem to be two strategies:Option 1:Increase the price of the existing plans in the App Store and Google Play, choosing to keep the existing customers at the same price.Pro:The “official” way -- easy to later let people opt-in / transition to the price chang

Multiple subscriptions? How?Although rare, it's possible for a user to have multiple active subscriptions. On iOS, this could be done by accident if a user has multiple devices using different Apple accounts and purchased on each one. On Android, a user may have tried to upgrade/downgrade a subscription but instead purchased a duplicate. If using RevenueCat to make purchases on Android, you need to specify in the purchasePackage method whether it is an upgrade/downgrade, or else it will be treated like a regular purchase.If neither of the above cases apply, or you see a lot of subscriptions on the same user in RevenueCat, you may have hardcoded an App User ID instead of using a unique identifier for each user. Each subscription is actually associated with a different Apple or Google account, but each one is tied to the same hardcoded App User ID in RevenueCat. In order to separate these users out, you should release an update to your app that clea

Hello. I would like to ask for help. I have a problem integrating purchases with RevenueCat in FlutterFlow. I searched the documentation, but it is very poorly and unclearly covered regarding sales. For subscriptions, I found a lot of information, but for sales, it is very sparse and unclear. My app is already running on a website, and I use Stripe for payments there, which works fine. When I started with RevenueCat to set up the app on Google Play, I thought it would be similar, but it does not work. I am selling credits, like lives in games that get consumed later. After a purchase, the credits should be added to the profile of the user who made the purchase. I am using Firebase as the database. My main problem is with sales. I have connected RevenueCat and Google Play Console, and I think that part is okay. I believe the problem is on the FlutterFlow side, but there is very little documentation, or it is too general. Does anyone know where I could look? Has anyone had a similar p

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

I don't understand why I have to regenerate service credentials. I already have a project at console.cloud.google.com with everything defined. Can't I just give permission to the new Google account that will receive the app in this project?The app is transferred to the Google Play console, I don't understand this part about generating new credentials? Would it be a new project on Google cloud?

I understand that in IOs and Android if your App is consider a reader App you can direct user outside the App store to get a subscription?Do this reader classification exists? What characteristics do reader Apps have to have? Taking into account the terms from the Apple and Android store, can I take this users from an 'Reader App' and direct them to a Stripe base payment? Thank you, 

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, 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?

useEffect(() => {    const init = async () => {      try {        if (Platform.OS === "android") {          await Purchases.configure({ apiKey: APIKeys.android });        } else {          await Purchases.configure({ apiKey: APIKeys.ios });        }        Purchases.setLogLevel(LOG_LEVEL.DEBUG);         Purchases.addCustomerInfoUpdateListener((customerInfo) => {          console.log(            "CustomerInfo update received:",            JSON.stringify(customerInfo, null, 2)          );          updateCustomerInfo(customerInfo);        });         await loadOfferings();      } catch (error) {        console.error("Error initializing Purchases:", error);      } finally {        setLoading(false);      }    };     init();     // Cleanup function    return () => {

 I’m using the Web Billing in Product catalog but when I use the production web purchase link (https://pay.rev.cat/[ID]/[USERID]), the form is missing to input the payment info.  When I use the sandbox purchase link (https://pay.rev.cat/sandbox/[ID]/[USERID]), it works as expected showing the payment info form.I’m using Stripe as the payment processer I have Products, Offerings, and Entitlements setup  Things I’ve tried with same result:

Assuming that we have 2 (or more) apps, and each app has each own Firebase project, we have:Play Console Google Cloud Project (GCP) (auto-created for the Play Store Developer Account); 2 (or more) GCP (auto-created for each Firebase project)According to the guide (https://www.revenuecat.com/docs/creating-play-service-credentials), we have to create service account credentials in Play Console GCP.And according to the another guide (https://www.revenuecat.com/docs/google-server-notifications), Pub/Sub Topic ID is autogenerated.So, with this prerequisites, questions are:Is it allowed to use Service Account credentials for each app from the auto-created Firebase GCP?

Hi RevenueCat Team,I’m using RevenueCat in my Flutter app for Apple in-app purchases. I noticed the following behavior: In RevenueCat (and when fetching offerings), the price is displayed in USD. When I actually make a purchase, Apple converts it to my local currency (AUD) and charges correctly. I understand that Apple handles the final purchase currency, but I’d like the price displayed in my app to reflect the localized currency rather than USD.Currently, I’m fetching the product and showing the price like this:final Offerings offerings = await Purchases.getOfferings();monthlyPrice.value = offerings.current?.monthly?.storeProduct.priceString ?? "";Is there a recommended way in RevenueCat to display the localized price (AUD) in Flutter so it matches what the App Store will charge?Thanks for y

My terms of service URL in the Paywall template I’m using is currently Apple’s https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Now I’m working on the Android app and I don’t know how I can specify in the Paywall template to use a different Terms of service in the Android app than the iOS app.Could I use Apple’s Terms of service URL in my Android app? Might look strange but if it’s valid I will use that for now

According to the docs, fetching a list of customers should include an active_entitlements hash. However, when I paginate and pull our list of customers, none of them have this object. Is this a bug with the API, or an issue with the docs?We’re calling https://api.revenuecat.com/v2/projects/<PROJ_ID>/customers, so if there’s an ?expand= I’m missing I’d appreciate some clarification! 😄 Our use-case requires us to fetch the entitlements of our customers and filter the list based on their status, so if active_entitlements isn’t meant to be returned, this means we’ll be round-tripping thousands of customers to the respective expansion route (projects/{project_id}/customers/{customer_id}/active_entitlements).

Refunds are issued differently depending if the subscriber purchased through the App Store or the Play Store.  App StoreApple does not allow developers to issue refunds on behalf of users. Users will need to contact Apple customer support directly for a refund. RevenueCat will automatically detect when a refund has been issued by Apple.If a user requests a refund, you can direct them to the Apple support page: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204084 Play StoreThere are multiple ways to refund a customer that purchased through the Play Store:(recommended) Active Android subscriptions may be refunded directly through the RevenueCat dashboard. Click on the respective transaction event on the customer page and hit "Refund" in the upper right. 

Hi,Im having a hard time getting my app through ios review.Specifically failing it because my rc pay wall shows Error 23 and I get this message in the log…Your products are configured in RevenueCat but aren't approved in App Store Connect yet. This prevents users from making purchases in production. Please ensure all products are approved and available for sale in App Store Connect But I think Im seeing error 23, because apple are not approving my Monetization section.Specifically the app store localization keeps being reject. Is the good hypothesis? That in order to stop error code 23, I need to apple approve the localizations?Im just going round in circles with them

Hi everyone,I’m currently integrating RevenueCat with Firebase Analytics and Google Analytics 4 (GA4). The setup seems fine, but after checking in Firebase Analytics and GA4, I don’t see any RevenueCat events coming through.A couple of questions: Is there a list of the event names that RevenueCat sends to Firebase/GA4? How long does it usually take for events to appear after integration? Is there any specific configuration required on the Firebase or GA4 side (other than linking the SDKs)? I couldn’t find any documentation that clearly lists which events RevenueCat pushes to Firebase/GA4, so any guidance or experience would be appreciated.Thanks in advance!

I’ve setup my payments with various subscriptions in Play and Apple store. All working fine. I need to however change the description that is displayed in my payall. I am using flutter and get offering fromofferings = await Purchases.getOfferings();I cannot see where, I can update the description of each offering? Is this in revenue cat, or the app store(s).. eitherway I can’t see where to set it? 

We’re working into creating an experiment but it looks like it would affect the usage of offer codes. We create an offer code under a subscription and since an Experiment requires a separate subscription, we would also need to create a separate code. As I see it, it’s unavoidable so maybe offer code doesn’t work well with Experiments?
