Context:

  • I have a custom payments backend that is hooked up directly with Apple.
  • I now want to migrate to Revenue cat so I have setup Apple server to server notifications and have linked Apple to RevenueCat. I have also setup the Apple Server Notification Forwarding towards my own backend so my backend continues to function properly.
     

My question is this: When RevenueCat receives a renewal event or a cancellation event for a customer that does not exist yet on RevenueCat it will ignore that request (As specified at the end of this section). Will it also not forward the request to my custom backend?

Hi Haris,

When RevenueCat receives an Apple server notification for a customer that doesn't exist yet in our system, such as a renewal or cancellation event, it will indeed ignore that request in terms of processing it. However, it will still forward the notification to your specified Apple Server Notification Forwarding URL, which means your custom backend should still receive the notification even if RevenueCat doesn't process it.

Let me know if there’s anything else I can assist you with!

Best,
