SDK Initialization

kotlin
// Minimum setup
Purchases.configure(
    PurchasesConfiguration.Builder(context, "api_key").build()
)

// Full options
Purchases.configure(
    PurchasesConfiguration.Builder(context, "api_key")
        .appUserID("user_id")                    // null for anonymous
        .showInAppMessagesAutomatically(true)    // default: true
        .purchasesAreCompletedBy(PurchasesAreCompletedBy.REVENUECAT) // default
        .entitlementVerificationMode(EntitlementVerificationMode.INFORMATIONAL)
        .diagnosticsEnabled(false)               // default: false
        .pendingTransactionsForPrepaidPlansEnabled(false) // default: false
        .build()
)

Purchases.logLevel = LogLevel.DEBUG // before configure()

Core Operations (Coroutine)

kotlin
// Fetch offerings
val offerings: Offerings = Purchases.sharedInstance.awaitOfferings()

// Fetch specific products
val products: List<StoreProduct> = Purchases.sharedInstance.awaitGetProducts(
    listOf("product_id"),
    type = ProductType.INAPP // or SUBS, or null for all
)

// Purchase
val result: PurchaseResult = Purchases.sharedInstance.awaitPurchase(
    PurchaseParams.Builder(activity, packageOrStoreProductOrSubscriptionOption).build()
)

// Purchase upgrade/downgrade
val result = Purchases.sharedInstance.awaitPurchase(
    PurchaseParams.Builder(activity, newPackage)
        .oldProductId("old_product_id")
        .googleReplacementMode(GoogleReplacementMode.WITH_TIME_PRORATION)
        .build()
)

// Get customer info
val customerInfo: CustomerInfo = Purchases.sharedInstance.awaitCustomerInfo()
val fresh: CustomerInfo = Purchases.sharedInstance.awaitCustomerInfo(
    fetchPolicy = CacheFetchPolicy.FETCH_CURRENT
)

// Restore
val customerInfo: CustomerInfo = Purchases.sharedInstance.awaitRestore()

// Log in / log out
val loginResult: LogInResult = Purchases.sharedInstance.awaitLogIn("user_id")
// loginResult.customerInfo, loginResult.created (Boolean)
val customerInfo: CustomerInfo = Purchases.sharedInstance.awaitLogOut()

Offerings Structure

kotlin
val offerings: Offerings
offerings.current          // current Offering
offerings.all              // Map<String, Offering>
offerings["my_offering"]   // by identifier
offerings.getCurrentOfferingForPlacement("placement_id") // targeting

val offering: Offering
offering.identifier
offering.monthly           // Package? (shortcut)
offering.annual            // Package?
offering.weekly            // Package?
offering.availablePackages // List<Package>
offering.metadata          // Map<String, Any>

val pkg: Package
pkg.identifier             // "$rc_monthly", "$rc_annual", custom
pkg.packageType            // PackageType enum
pkg.product                // StoreProduct
pkg.webCheckoutURL         // URL? (RevenueCat web billing)

val product: StoreProduct
product.productId
product.title
product.description
product.price.formatted    // "$4.99"
product.price.amountMicros
product.price.currencyCode
product.period             // Period? (null for INAPP); use period.iso8601 for "P1M", "P1Y", etc.
product.subscriptionOptions // List<SubscriptionOption>? (null for INAPP)
product.defaultOption       // SubscriptionOption? best available offer

Entitlements

kotlin
val customerInfo: CustomerInfo
customerInfo.entitlements.active         // Map<String, EntitlementInfo> (active only)
customerInfo.entitlements.all            // Map<String, EntitlementInfo> (all)
customerInfo.entitlements["pro_access"]  // EntitlementInfo?
customerInfo.activeSubscriptions         // Set<String> of "productId:basePlanId"
customerInfo.nonSubscriptionTransactions // List<Transaction>
customerInfo.managementURL               // Uri? to Play Store management

val entitlement: EntitlementInfo
entitlement.isActive                     // Boolean, the main access gate
entitlement.willRenew                    // false if canceled
entitlement.expirationDate               // Date? (null for lifetime)
entitlement.periodType                   // NORMAL, TRIAL, INTRO, PREPAID
entitlement.billingIssueDetectedAt       // Date? (non-null = grace/hold)
entitlement.unsubscribeDetectedAt        // Date? (non-null = canceled)
entitlement.store                        // PLAY_STORE, APP_STORE, etc.
entitlement.productIdentifier            // subscription product ID
entitlement.productPlanIdentifier        // base plan ID (Google only)
entitlement.verification                 // VerificationResult

Error Handling

kotlin
// Purchase errors
try {
    Purchases.sharedInstance.awaitPurchase(params)
} catch (e: PurchasesTransactionException) {
    e.userCancelled     // Boolean
    e.error.code        // PurchasesErrorCode
    e.error.message     // description string
}

// Other errors
try {
    Purchases.sharedInstance.awaitOfferings()
} catch (e: PurchasesException) {
    e.error.code        // PurchasesErrorCode
}

// Key error codes
PurchasesErrorCode.PurchaseCancelledError
PurchasesErrorCode.ProductAlreadyPurchasedError
PurchasesErrorCode.PaymentPendingError
PurchasesErrorCode.NetworkError
PurchasesErrorCode.StoreProblemError
PurchasesErrorCode.IneligibleError
PurchasesErrorCode.ConfigurationError

Listeners

kotlin
// CustomerInfo updates
Purchases.sharedInstance.updatedCustomerInfoListener =
    UpdatedCustomerInfoListener { customerInfo -> }

// Show in-app messages manually
Purchases.sharedInstance.showInAppMessagesIfNeeded(activity)
