Prerequisites

  • App Management is only available to Recurly customers.
  • Recurly does not require customers to implement a SDK within their mobile app.
  • Important access requirement: To access Recurly App Management, you need Configuration access permissions within Recurly. To confirm or set these permissions, consult this comprehensive guide.

Limitations

  • Recurly currently focuses on auto-renewing subscriptions. For Apple, non-renewing subscriptions, consumable in-app purchases, and non-consumable in-app purchases are not supported. For Google, one-time products (aka: managed products) are not supported.
  • Recurly processes all real-time notifications coming from Apple and Google, to ensure that Recurly customers have full visibility into the complete subscriber lifecycle for all subscribers. Apple does include an optional consumption request which Recurly does not currently process. This request requires customers to build a new workflow to submit several details back to Apple to assist with refunds. In addition, it requires customers to manage consent from subscribers, which can be complicated.
  • If you want visibility into mobile app subscriptions created prior to connecting Recurly, a migration of the historical events will need to be initiated as described here.
  • Recurly offers API endpoints to support several different types of integrations. As of today, there are pre-built integrations for the Apple App Store and Google Play.
