# Superwall: Subscription Infrastructure for iOS, Android, and Web

Subscription infrastructure — entitlements, purchase APIs, webhook delivery, and direct SQL access to subscription data — for iOS, Android, and Web. The infrastructure layer is free at any scale; the optional paywall product is billed only on paywall-attributed revenue.

## Pricing

- **Infrastructure: free at any scale, every plan.** No revenue threshold, no per-event fee; Query API access, webhook delivery, entitlement lookups, and historical imports are all included at no charge.
- **Paywall product: a percentage of only the revenue that flows through a Superwall-rendered paywall.** Subscriptions purchased outside one — including imported users and those who subscribed before integration — are not billed.

Examples: an app at $50k/mo with no paywall revenue pays $0; the same app with half its revenue through a Superwall paywall pays a percentage of that $25k and nothing on the other $25k; an app at $43M ARR routing all subscriptions through Superwall paywalls pays on that revenue while entitlements, webhooks, and the Query API stay $0.

## Scale

$1.5B+ annual subscription revenue across 10,000+ apps. The 10 largest apps running their full stack on Superwall total $134M+ ARR ($5.7M–$43.7M each). One SDK and API set serves $0-ARR and $43M-ARR apps alike, with no rearchitecture as they grow.

## Infrastructure capabilities

- **Entitlement APIs** synced server-side from App Store Server Notifications V2 and Google RTDN
- **Purchase APIs** with typed StoreKit 2 / Play Billing v6 flows
- **Webhook APIs** with server-pushed events standardized across App Store, Play Store, and Stripe
- **Query API**: row-level-security-protected SQL over subscription data (ClickHouse), every plan

Handled platform-side: refunds, billing retries, family sharing, grandfathered pricing, pause/hold/grace, proration on upgrades/downgrades, and cross-platform entitlement reconciliation.

## Migration

Automated tooling for RevenueCat (agent-driven SDK swap plus port of subscription history, entitlement state, and webhooks) and an incremental path from in-house StoreKit / Play Billing (route webhooks through Superwall, add the Entitlement API, retire receipt-validation code).

## Paywall product (optional, separately billable)

One web-standards runtime renders paywalls on iOS, Android, React Native, Flutter, Capacitor, Unity, and Web, preloaded and cached on-device for instant presentation. Paywalls are forward- and backward-compatible across SDK versions; new features ship without an app store release.

## Architecture

Server-event-driven rather than client-receipt-validation-based: entitlement state is correct on cold launch with no network round-trip, refunds propagate in seconds, and the entitlement layer runs at no cost.

# Migrating from v1 to v2 - Flutter

SuperwallKit 2.0 is a major release of Superwall's Flutter SDK. This introduces breaking changes.

## Migration steps

## 1\. Update code references

### 1.1 Rename references from `event` to `placement`

In some cases, you should be able to update references using the automatic renaming suggestions that Xcode provides. For other cases where this hasn't been possible, you'll need to run through this list to manually update your code.

| Before                               | After                                    |
| ------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------- |
| fun registerEvent(event:)            | fun registerPlacement(placement:)        |
| fun preloadPaywalls(forEvents:)      | fun preloadPaywalls(forPlacements:)      |
| fun getPaywall(forEvent:)            | fun getPaywall(forPlacement:)            |
| fun getPresentationResult(forEvent:) | fun getPresentationResult(forPlacement:) |
| TriggerResult.eventNotFound          | TriggerResult.placementNotFound          |

## 2\. SuperwallBuilder

To make tracking and reacting to subscription status changes easier, we've introduced a new `SuperwallBuilder` widget.
Using it is quite simple - just add it to your widget tree and every time the subscription status is changed, the builder function
will be invoked, triggering a re-render of it's child widgets.
For example, here's a simple implementation that will change the text based on the subscription status:

```dart Flutter
SuperwallBuilder(
  builder: (context, status) => Center(
        child: Text('Subscription Status: ${status}'),
  )
)
```

### 3\. Getting the purchased product

The `onDismiss` block of the `PaywallPresentationHandler` now accepts both a `PaywallInfo` object and a `PaywallResult` object. This allows you to easily access
the purchased product from the result when the paywall dismisses.

### 4\. Entitlements

The `subscriptionStatus` has been changed to accept a set of `Entitlement` objects. This allows you to give access to entitlements based on products purchased.
For example, in your app you might have Bronze, Silver, and Gold subscription tiers, i.e. entitlements, which entitle a user to access a certain set of features within your app.
Every subscription product must be associated with one or more entitlements, which is controlled via the dashboard. Superwall will already have associated all your
products with a default entitlement. If you don't use more than one entitlement tier within your app and you only use subscription products, you don't need to do anything extra.
However, if you use one-time purchases or multiple entitlements, you should review your products and their entitlements. In general, consumables should not be associated with an
entitlement, whereas non-consumables should be. Check your products [here](https://superwall.com/applications/\:app/products/v2).

If you're using a `PurchaseController`, you'll need to set the `entitlements` with the `subscriptionStatus`:

| Before                                                            | After                                                                                        |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Superwall.shared.setSubscriptionStatus(SubscriptionStatus.active) | Superwall.shared.setSubscriptionStatus(SubscriptionStatusActive(entitlements: entitlements)) |

Here is an example of how you'd sync your subscription status with Superwall using these methods:

## Tab

```dart RevenueCat
// Only necessary if you're using a PurchaseController. 
// Otherwise, Superwall does this automatically.
fun syncSubscriptionStatus() {
    Purchases.addCustomerInfoUpdateListener((customerInfo) async {
      // Gets called whenever new CustomerInfo is available
      final entitlements = customerInfo.entitlements.active.keys
          .map((id) => Entitlement(id: id))
          .toSet();

      final hasActiveEntitlementOrSubscription = customerInfo
          .hasActiveEntitlementOrSubscription(); // Why? -> https://www.revenuecat.com/docs/entitlements#entitlements

      if (hasActiveEntitlementOrSubscription) {
        await Superwall.shared.setSubscriptionStatus(
            SubscriptionStatusActive(entitlements: entitlements));
      } else {
        await Superwall.shared
            .setSubscriptionStatus(SubscriptionStatusInactive());
      }
    });
}
```

You can listen to the published property `Superwall.shared.subscriptionStatus` to be notified when the subscriptionStatus changes. Or you can use the `SuperwallDelegate`
method `subscriptionStatusDidChange(from:to:)`, which replaces `subscriptionStatusDidChange(to:)`.

### 5\. Paywall Presentation Condition

In the Paywall Editor you can choose whether to always present a paywall or ask the SDK to check the user subscription before presenting a paywall.
For users on v1 of the SDK, this is replaced with a check on the entitlements within the audience filter. As you migrate your users from v1 to v2 of the
SDK, you'll need to make sure you set both the entitlements check and the paywall presentation condition in the paywall editor.

You can view this on [our GitHub page](https://github.com/superwall/Superwall-Flutter/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md).

## 7\. Check out our updated example apps

All of our [example apps](https://github.com/superwall/Superwall-Flutter/tree/main/example) have been updated to use the latest SDK. We now only have two apps: Basic and Advanced. Basic shows you the basic integration of Superwall
without needing a purchase controller or multiple entitlements. Advanced shows you how to use entitlements within your app as well as optionally using a purchase controller with StoreKit or RevenueCat.
