Hey
I took a look at your transactions, and noticed that these issues are occurring for users in India.
On April 29th, Google sent out a notice to Android developers offering subscriptions in India that new auto-renewing subscriptions, free trials, and introductory prices will be paused for the foreseeable future on May 4, 2021. This is why your subscriptions are being cancelled immediately. Note:
- This change affects subscriptions in India only.
- Any existing auto-renewing subscriptions in India will continue to renew as expected.
- Any new auto-renewing subscriptions in India will not auto-renew after Google rolls out the changes in May. This means users who subscribe will need to subscribe again once their subscription expires.
- Free trials and introductory prices won't be redeemable after Google rolls out the changes because they can't renew.
For now the only action items for you, the app developer, are:
- Adjust your wording on your paywall to remove any mentions about free trials, introductory pricing, or auto-renewals for your users in India. While this can be done in various ways, one potential way is to check the currency of the SkuDetails using getPriceCurrencyCode (https://developer.android.com/reference/com/android/billingclient/api/SkuDetails#getpricecurrencycode) The currency code of the rupee is INR. You can potentially also use the device's locale to change the wording on your paywall.
- You may optionally offer different skus in India that don't include any free trials or introductory pricing. RevenueCat can help you here - just create an offering for your Indian users and display it in your app accordingly.
