# 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.

# Consumable Products

Set up consumable products for Superwall paywalls on iOS.

Use consumable products when a purchase should grant a quantity that can be used up, such as credits, coins, boosts, or tokens.

> **Note:** This guide assumes purchases are made from Superwall paywalls and that you are not using a `PurchaseController`.

Consumable products are one-time purchases that users can buy repeatedly, such as credits, tokens, boosts, or packs. Non-consumable products are also one-time purchases, but they grant permanent access, such as a lifetime unlock.

Superwall uses entitlements to decide whether a user has ongoing access. Because consumables are meant to be used up, they should usually not grant entitlements. Your app should listen for the purchase, grant the consumable benefit in your own system, and treat Superwall's purchase history as a record of what happened.

## Dashboard Setup

1. Create the consumable in App Store Connect.
2. Add the product in Superwall from **Products**.
3. Use the App Store product identifier.
4. Set **Period** to **None (Lifetime / Consumable)**.
5. Leave **Entitlements** empty.
6. Add the product to any paywall that should sell it.

> **Warning:** Do not attach an entitlement to a consumable unless the purchase should also unlock ongoing access. If a consumable has no entitlement, buying it does not make the user's subscription status active.

## Include Consumables In Purchase History

Apple excludes consumable purchases from App Store purchase history unless you opt in. Add `SKIncludeConsumableInAppPurchaseHistory` to your app's `Info.plist` as a Boolean set to `YES`.

```xml Info.plist
<key>SKIncludeConsumableInAppPurchaseHistory</key>
<true/>
```

> **Note:** When this key is present and set to `YES`, Superwall uses StoreKit 2 on iOS 18 and later. On earlier iOS versions, the SDK falls back to StoreKit 1 for purchase history support.

## Grant The Consumable Benefit

Superwall does not maintain balances for consumables. Grant credits, tokens, or other benefits from your app or backend after the `transactionComplete` event. Make this operation idempotent so retries do not double-credit the user.

## Tab

```swift Swift
import SuperwallKit

final class SWDelegate: SuperwallDelegate {
  func handleSuperwallEvent(withInfo eventInfo: SuperwallEventInfo) {
    guard case let .transactionComplete(transaction, product, _, _) = eventInfo.event else {
      return
    }

    guard product.productIdentifier == "com.example.credits_100" else {
      return
    }

    Task {
      await ConsumablesService.shared.grantCredits(
        count: 100,
        productId: product.productIdentifier,
        transactionId: transaction?.storeTransactionId
      )
    }
  }
}

Superwall.shared.delegate = SWDelegate()
```

## Tab

```swift Objective-C
#import <SuperwallKit/SuperwallKit-Swift.h>

@interface SWDelegate : NSObject <SWKSuperwallDelegate>
@end

@implementation SWDelegate

- (void)handleSuperwallEventWithInfo:(SWKSuperwallEventInfo *)eventInfo {
  if (eventInfo.event != SWKSuperwallEventTransactionComplete) {
    return;
  }

  NSString *productId = eventInfo.params[@"primary_product_id"];
  if (![productId isEqualToString:@"com.example.credits_100"]) {
    return;
  }

  NSString *transactionId = eventInfo.params[@"store_transaction_id"];
  [[ConsumablesService shared] grantCredits:100
                                  productId:productId
                              transactionId:transactionId];
}

@end

[Superwall sharedInstance].delegate = [SWDelegate new];
```

## Read Purchase History

Consumable and non-consumable purchases appear in `customerInfo.nonSubscriptions`. Use `isConsumable` to distinguish consumables from lifetime purchases.

## Tab

```swift Swift
let customerInfo = Superwall.shared.customerInfo

let consumables = customerInfo.nonSubscriptions.filter { $0.isConsumable }
for purchase in consumables {
  print("Consumable purchased: \(purchase.productId)")
}
```

## Tab

```swift Objective-C
SWKCustomerInfo *customerInfo = [Superwall sharedInstance].customerInfo;

for (SWKNonSubscriptionTransaction *purchase in customerInfo.nonSubscriptions) {
  if (purchase.isConsumable) {
    NSLog(@"Consumable purchased: %@", purchase.productId);
  }
}
```
