I have a nice little app that currently accept payments in Stripe. It's a desktop app for Windows that integrate into my website. Currently users purchase the desktop app on my website which payments are going directly to Stripe. I Do have a macOS version of the app and it uses RevenueCat which all of payments and data about payments show on the Revenuecat dashboard. I would like my Windows app sales to show on the Revenuecat dashboard. Is there a way that I can have my Stripe payments to show on the dashboard without the need to add code to my website or windows app. Is there a way I can just link Stripe and Revenuecat together

      Hi!

       

      I think you can follow this guide to set up Stripe Billing, that’s what allows your Stripe purchases to show up on the RevenueCat dashboard.

      However, doing that would mean there’s a discrepancy in the source of truth for your apps (MacOS coming from RevenueCat and Windows coming from Stripe). Because of that, the data on your RevenueCat dashboard could look weird if there’s an edge case.

      Also, you would probably need to manually handle the case in which a user already paid for one of the versions of the app (e.g. Windows) and wants to use the other version (e.g. MacOS).

        So my current workflow is My website hosted on Loveable. 

        The user press Get  Mac iOS it routes them directly to the app on the Apple App Store. 
        The user press Get Windows then it routes them directly to a Stripe checkout

        RevenueCat sdk is in my Apple build of the app. 
        For Windows it checks via api if there is a purchase from my website. if so they have access to use app. This is mainly coded. 

        I con’t allow users to from Mac to Windows or change versions (v1 to v2).


        Revenuecat does not have Windows version. If there is a method I could use RevenueCat for Windows or c++ it would make this much easier. I mainly need to check if there is a purchases for windows platform

          Hey ​@Jerry Seigle ,

           

          I'm Tarek from the support team, and I'll happily help you figure this out!

           

          If you only want your Stripe purchases to show up in your RevenueCat dashboard, as ​@cam said the first step is indeed to set up a Stripe Billing integration. You can then enable "Track new purchases from server-to-server notifications," and RevenueCat will automatically pick up new Stripe purchases.

          You also have the option of importing your historical Stripe purchase tokens if needed.

          You should pay attention to what is set as the app user ID, as it can have some consequences (more below).

           

          This would be enough if you don't want your Windows users to have their Stripe subscription recognized on macOS and vice-versa.

          If you do, then you would need to make sure that users have a stable and unique app user ID on each platform (with an account or social login for instance), and to associate the Stripe purchase to their specific app user ID.

          Then, on Windows, you would have an SDK-less integration, for instance by relying on RevenueCat's REST API to know if a user has an entitlement granted or not.

           

          Please do not hesitate if I can help you further.
