Is it possible to activate a subscription for free? Or pay for it on the user's behalf? (Useful for bundles with physical objects)

Hello!I am evaluating whether to use RevenueCat or not into my next app, and it is my first time using a subscription model. I plan to sell a service subscription either:- As a standalone product (through the app)- Bundled with a physical product sold through ShopifyWhile the former is a common RevenueCat use case, I am not sure on how to achieve the latter. I understand that RevenueCat’s business model consists in withholding a percentage of the subscription cost encountered by the user on the app store, thus I don’t think I can simply create a new subscription for zero cost through the API (correct me if I am wrong).If that’s the case, what if I pay for a new subscription on a user’s behalf by using the revenues from the Shopify purchase? In my specific case, the user could use the app itself for activating the subscription after the purchase, but he should be able to activate it for free (as he already paid for it). Is it thus possible for my business to pay the subscription on his

FB app install events stop collecting after I integrated FB with RevenueCat

Hello,I integrated the FB SDK according to your documents and after the release I did not see AppInstall events in the FB Console.I assume this is because I disabled automatic FB event tracking and all RC sends is subscription events.I can't use the AppActivate event because it can't be related to ad campaigns.Can you explain if I might have made a mistake somewhere when linking FB and RC.

Purchase Transfer causing Revenuecat to report an anonymous user and loses firebase application id for the user

Hello everyone We are facing one bug with Revenuecat and firebase integration when reporting subscribed users. our system uses firebase and firebase assigned ids to the users, and we use the same ids to report a subscription, and revenuecat assigns it as an alias in the revenuecat dashboard. The bug show when a user transfers his entitlement to another account, like this example:here it’s transferring it to anonymous userin the attributes it’s showing fine the firebase app id then we move to the new account created after transferring the entitlements:it’s not showing firebase app instance id, and reporting the user as anonymous revenuecat user this is for the first time.the second time, for another user something similar happened and here what happened: the user transferred the entitlements to another user, so main account it was completely fine:the attributes for the main user had firebase app instance id there.in the transfer event it was as followsso it created an anonymous id for t

Has Anyone been successful integrating RevenueCat and Squarespace?

Has Anyone been successful integrating RevenueCat and Squarespace? I know squarespace is setup to use webHooks, however RevenueCat does not have an endpoint setup to receive Squarepace notifications. Has anyone had success integrating these? I’m not a web dev so I’m trying to better understand the workflow/integrations.

Apple Search Ads + Revenuecat Integration

Hello, we are working on apple search ads attribution and revenuecat integration. I can't create new api key in apple search ads. When I am on the "Search Ads" > "API" page, there is NO 'Create Certificate' button or something else ( I'm the admin and used safari). Is there any other method?.And i got email from Apple:Please note that new API certificate creation is no longer supported. Apple Search Ads now uses OAuth 2.0 to authenticate API requests.To access the Campaign Management API within your own organization, you’ll need to create or designate an API user:- Have an account admin sign in to your Apple Search Ads account.- Go to the User Management tab within Account Settings.- Edit or invite a new user and assign them one of the following roles: API Account Manager, API Read Only, or Limited Access API Read & Write or API Read Only.- After your API user is set up, have them sign in to your Apple Search Ads account and go to the API tab within Account Settings.- On the API

Subscription updates not reflected in Firestore

Using RC sub status for chat access

Hi folks,I’m interested in setting up a subscribers-only Circle or Discord community. Only users that have an active subscription (according to RevenueCat) will get access, and that access gets revoked if their subscription expires.Is anyone doing this? How? I don’t see any obvious integrations on RevenueCat’s side. Is this in RC’s roadmap? (By the way, RC’s “public” roadmap seems to be private, Trello says I need to request access??). Are tools like Circle or Discord set up to handle this if they’re sent RC’s web hooks or something?Cheers, Toby

Stripe subscription with future start date

We run into a use-case that seems like an edge case but ends up being more common that you’d expect.User subscribes via App Store, let’s say an annual plan that ends on 2023-01-01. In the middle of the subscription, user now wants to be billed through Stripe (receiving a promo code or something like that). It is too late for a refund. User cancels their App Store subscription, though it is still active until 2023-01-01. User wants to purchase their new Stripe subscription but only get billed once their App Store one ends in the future.There are a few ways to do this:Just not support this at all, and force users to wait until their App Store subscription expires before they purchase their Stripe subscription (less than ideal). Let the user purchase their new Stripe subscription, but with a really long trial duration so that during the overlap period, they have the canceled (but non-expired App Store), then on 2023-01-01 when the first one expires, their Stripe trial ends and they get bi

Can RevenueCat handle Stripe subscription upgrades/downgrades

I have a vanilla monthly/annual subscription plan on my app. In Stripe it’s 2 products, each with one price.I’m configuring the Stripe customer portal, where I will send customers to cancel their plans. Stripe allows me to let them “Switch plans”.Is this supported in RC or should I only let users cancel and start a new subscription?Thanks!

RevenueCat and Stripe one-time purchases

I am struggling to get RevenueCat to automatically sync/recognise one-time purchases from Stripe Checkout.I have a Flutter app for both iOS and web (Firebase backend), and after significant work (writing custom conditional code for the Web logic...) have subscriptions working for both iOS and Web, integrated with RevenueCat. Customers can subscribe either as an IAP on iOS or using Stripe if on the Web app, and the subscription entitlement is managed by RevenueCat.But… user’s also need the ability to make one-time purchase of consumable credits. On iOS this is handled as an IAP that RevenueCat syncs, pushing the successful transaction event to my Firestore Function so I can track the credit balance.For one-time purchases via the Web app, Stripe Checkout successfully completes yet ReveneCat appears unaware of the transaction! Unlike for Stripe-managed subscription transactions there does not seem to be any automatic syncing or notification to RC of the one-time purchase.So far I have tri

Google Analytics integration for web events

Hi, We are using RevenueCat to centralize all payment-related events for our app and our website. For web, we connected Stripe, and it’s working well. We can see the web events activity in RevenueCat Dashboard and Amplitude but we would like to track them in Google Analytics and we can’t find a proper way to do it. We have tested the Segment integration but Google Analytics is not attributing the events to users. It is just sending all the events from RevenueCat (app+web) without the right parameters (i.e: browser = segment.io instead of the right browser, no source attribution,...). Are we missing something or is it just not possible to send web RevenueCat events to Google Analytics? Thanks for your help

Cancellation Webhook too ealry?

So I configured Webhooks and used the recommended approach of calling the RevenueCat API to handle logic.This works for all events tested so far. Except for the Cancellation event (I canceled Platinum):As shown in the image. The function is called at 11:38:35 with the cancellation event and after calling the RevenueCat API to check the expiration date, the platinum membership is not yet expired and thus my logic to remove the enitlement is not triggering as I am checking if the expiration date is in the past.Did I oversee something here?

RevenueCat doesn't know about VAT in some countries

Platform: AndroidStore: Google PlayProduct Type: Monthly SubscriptionRevenueCat Purchases Version: com.revenuecat.purchases:purchases:5.1.0 A customer of our app from Moldova (Republic of Moldova) reported today that the price displayed in the app (9.49 USD) was not the price that he ended up paying (11.39 USD).  Looking at the email receipt he sent us from Google, the extra 1.90 USD is labeled as Tax. I went in the Google Play Console where we can set our price for each country, and the price there is 9.49 USD → no sign of any VAT. I did a Google Search and the default VAT for Moldova is 20%, which matches the extra Tax from the transaction.I then checked RevenueCat, including the webhook for that specific transaction, and there is no trace of tax. The price is 9.49 and also, in the webhook, the `tax_percentage` field is 0. Then I found out that this is the case for all transactions made from that country, RevenueCat doesn’t know about the tax there. The biggest problem now is that fo

Firebase Integration - please send rc_trail_converted event as well

Currently the firebase integration sends both trial conversions and renewals as the same event to firebase (purchase), and this is a problem when it comes to running google ads.  In google ads, we wish to see how many trials converted from a campaign, but since this isn’t a separate event, renewals and trial conversions are combined and its not possible to see the number of new paying subscribers that we obtained by a google ads campaign.  Can RevenueCat please add the ability to also send the the trial converted event as rc_trial_converted ? This would be a great help.  Below is the current Firebase event mapping. Currently trial conversions are mapped to ‘purchase’.

Webhook came with huge delay (question for revenuecat it)

Please have a look at this customer:https://app.revenuecat.com/customers/64393e08/044c7fb8-183a-4928-be54-44b513ccd58aAccording to the history he bought a subscription with us on 19th August. But the webhook was fired today. This is a delay of 5 days which is totally unacceptable for an in app payment.Please verify whether the buy date (19th Agust) is really true or an errorAnd if it is true, you have to make sure such delays won’t occur anymore. Such huge delays can make customers get really mad and make them want their money back.

Integrate RevenueCat with Firebase causes wrong Ecommerce Revenue

Like the title said, we suffer a wrong data in eCommerce Revenue (expected 0 but we receive 7.5K in the below image), which then causes wrong total revenue also. The actually revenue should be 31K-7.5K. All of previous month (which we haven’t integrated RevenueCat with Firebase yet), this number should be 0 (I’ve checked again)It looks like happen on iOS only because we has this value only on iOS, is this SDK bug?

Include VAT in proceeds calculation

TL;DR: For 3rd party integrations, please update proceeds to take into account VAT so that it matches Apple’s proceeds and what the developer actually gets.  --We've been using our RevenueCat integration with AppsFlyer and Amplitude to calculate LTV and track marketing campaign profitability, however I just realized that proceeds reported by RevenueCat does not match Apple’s.  If you choose 'report proceeds' in RevenueCat, it doesn't take into account VAT when sending the revenue which results in RevenueCat over reporting proceeds by up to 20% , which throws off marketing campaigns and LTV calculations.  😔 Here's an example of a sale in the UK:  I've converted everything to US dollars for convenience.  Price of product: $4.11Proceeds reported by RevenueCat to Amplitude: $2.88ACTUAL proceeds reported by Apple: $2.36Difference = ~20% FORMULAS: It looks like RevenueCat is using this formula:  proceeds = price * 0.7 Please update this to what Apple is using: proceeds = price * (1-{VAT Rat

Short Expiration Windows

Hello,We noticed when testing the RevenueCat subscription, the expiration window is very short. Here's an example of a webhook payload registering a successfully initial purchase. Note that the event time is "Thu Jun 16 2022 10:45:08 GMT-0700 " and expiration time is "Thu Jun 16 2022 11:45:02 GMT-0700". What seems to happen is that after that window, we are forced to go through the subscription user journey again.
