Question

iOS user not charged immediately when switching to discounted plan during trial

Hi, I’m using RevenueCat’s showPaywall() in Flutter on iOS.

  • Plan A: 1-year with 7-day free trial ($89.99)

  • Plan B: 1-year discounted ($39.99), no trial

I want users to start the trial, but if they choose the discounted plan during the trial, they should be charged immediately.

Instead, RevenueCat on iOS just updates the renewal preference. No charge happens, and if they cancel before trial ends, they’re never charged.

Is there any way to force an immediate charge on iOS using the built-in paywall?

Thanks!

Doesn’t look like this is possible

Hey ​@lewisbui, 

Thank you for reaching out. I'll be happy to help!
 
As stated in the threads shared, when a customer upgrades products during an introductory period (including a free trial), Apple does not cancel the introductory offer but keeps it active in addition to the upgraded product. So, in these cases, you can expect two products in the same Subscription Group to be active simultaneously.
 
There's no way to force an immediate charge on iOS as Apple does not allow it, and handles product changes itself.
