RevenueCat Billing Integration
RevenueCat subscription architecture for entitlements, paywalls and cross-store billing workflows.
We use RevenueCat where mobile subscription products need coordinated entitlement state across Apple and Google stores while backend access control, store policy and customer-support responsibilities remain explicit.

What We Build
What We Build
01
Subscription Access Locks
Mobile client locks that block or display premium views based on entitlement states.
02
Multi-Tier Paywall Layouts
Flexible layouts presenting dynamic billing packages configured from the cloud.
03
Centralized Billing Integrations
Linking purchases from Apple StoreKit and Google Play Billing to shared database accounts.
04
Webhook Notification Pipelines
Sending subscription renewal and cancellation events to backend APIs.
Architecture System
Examine package groupings, local status caching, and server webhook boundaries.
Layer 01: Device SDK Wrapper
The RevenueCat SDK monitors system transactions on iOS and Android devices, caching purchase statuses locally.
Layer 02: Centralized Entitlements
Receipt data is processed by the cloud engine, mapping transactions to user IDs.
Layer 03: Backend API Sync
Webhooks notify your database when a user renews or changes their subscription state.
This component maps RevenueCat configurations: Offerings & Packages, Dynamic Paywalls, and Custom Parameters Map.
Offerings & Paywalls Mapping
Select a mapping area to review store product alignments configurations.
Configuration Detail
Maps a standard subscription identifier (e.g. 'gold_tier') to corresponding platform product IDs inside Apple StoreKit and Google Play Console datasets.
This panel explains how purchase webhooks synchronize subscription entitlement records with custom APIs.
Backend webhook synchronization
Switch tabs to review how user accounts are synchronized with store transactions.
RevenueCat servers catch purchase receipts directly from Apple and Google consoles, parsing updates, and posting structured JSON webhook payloads (e.g. renewal or expiration events) to your database endpoints.
This diagram maps RevenueCat restore steps: Query Store Accounts, Match Receipts, Evaluate Entitlements, and Sync Database Access.
Entitlement Restore Pipelines
Select a step to inspect transaction restore and renewal synchronization loops.
Step 01: Query Store Accounts
User triggers 'Restore Purchases'. Device SDK queries active Apple ID or Google Play credentials schemas.
This panel explains sandbox test purchases and manual support entitlement override procedures.
Testing & Support Operations
Switch tabs to review billing diagnostics workflows and customer override setups.
Transactions are verified using platform sandbox accounts. We verify subscription state changes, upgrade logic, and expired states systematically by simulating accelerated store renewal periods.
Ecosystem Comparisons
Qualitative fits across development dimensions.
Platform Coverage & UI Customization
FlutterStrong fit
Compiles directly to native code, utilizing its own Skia/Impeller graphics engine to facilitate uniform interfaces across platforms.
React NativeConditional fit
Uses native UI components, matching platform styles by default but requiring bridge configurations for custom layout parity.
Apple Ecosystem Integration
FlutterRequires native support
Accesses iOS sensors through custom platform channel code packages, adding bridging layers.
SwiftStrong fit
Direct access to Apple SDKs, biometric features, Secure Enclaves, and widget layouts without any wrapper overhead.
Android Lifecycle Operations
FlutterRequires native support
Relies on platform channels to connect background tasks to Android lifecycle loops.
KotlinStrong fit
Direct integration with Android system resources, background threads, and customized device scanner ports.

connected-mobility-logistics-platformFrequently Asked Questions
What problem does RevenueCat solve?
RevenueCat wraps complex iOS StoreKit and Google Play Billing APIs behind a unified SDK, managing entitlement states and webhooks.
Does RevenueCat replace Apple and Google billing systems?
No. All credit card operations and payouts remain managed by Apple and Google. RevenueCat acts as an orchestration and check layer.
What is an entitlement?
An entitlement represents access to a specific feature or tier (like 'premium_access') granted to a user when a purchase check is active.
How are application access and backend access coordinated?
The device SDK updates layout flags immediately. Simultaneously, server-to-server webhooks notify your database to update user permissions.
How do restore-purchase workflows work conceptually?
When a user clicks restore, the SDK queries the device store for active transactions and links them to the active user profile.
How are subscription workflows tested?
We test transactions in StoreKit and Google Play sandbox environments, verifying that entitlement states change correctly.
What backend responsibilities remain?
Your database must listen to webhooks, update backend access permissions, and manage user profile tables.
When should a team use direct store billing instead?
When you only target a single operating system (e.g. iOS-only) and do not need cross-platform entitlement sharing.
