# 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.

# Using the Superwall Delegate

Use Superwall's delegate to extend our SDK's functionality across several surface areas by assigning to the `delegate` property:

:::ios
## Tab

```swift Swift
class SWDelegate: SuperwallDelegate {
    // Implement delegate methods here
}

// After configuring the SDK...
Superwall.shared.delegate = SWDelegate()
```

## Tab

```swift Objective-C
// In its own file...
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
@import SuperwallKit;
@interface SWDelegate : NSObject <SWKSuperwallDelegate>
@end
@implementation SWDelegate
    // Implement delegate methods here
@end

// After configuring the SDK...
[[Superwall sharedInstance] setDelegate:[SWDelegate new]];
```

:::

Some common use cases for using the Superwall delegate include:

* **Custom actions:** [Respond to custom tap actions from a paywall.](/docs/sdk/guides/advanced/custom-paywall-actions#custom-paywall-actions)
* **Respond to purchases:** [See which product was purchased from the presented paywall.](/docs/sdk/guides/advanced/viewing-purchased-products)
* **Analytics:** [Forward events from Superwall to your own analytics.](/docs/sdk/guides/3rd-party-analytics)

Below are some commonly used implementations when using the delegate.

### Superwall Events

Most of what occurs in Superwall can be viewed using the delegate method to respond to events:

:::ios
## Tab

```swift Swift
class SWDelegate: SuperwallDelegate {
  func handleSuperwallEvent(withInfo eventInfo: SuperwallEventInfo) {
    switch eventInfo.event {
    case .transactionComplete(let transaction, let product, let paywallInfo):
      print("Converted from paywall originalTransactionIdentifier: \(transaction?.originalTransactionIdentifier ?? "")")
      print("Converted from paywall storeTransactionId: \(transaction?.storeTransactionId ?? "")")
      print("Converted from paywall productIdentifier: \(product.productIdentifier)")
      print("Converted from paywall paywallInfo: \(paywallInfo.identifier)")
    case .transactionRestore(let restoreType, let paywallInfo):
      print("transactionRestore restoreType \(restoreType)")
    case let .customPlacement(name, params, paywallInfo):
      // Forward Mixpanel/Ampltiude/etc
      print("\(name) - \(params) - \(paywallInfo)")
    default:
      // And several more events to use...
      print("Default event: \(eventInfo.event.description)")
    }
  }
}
```

## Tab

```swift Objective-C
// SWDelegate.h...
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
@import SuperwallKit;

NS_ASSUME_NONNULL_BEGIN

@interface SWDelegate : NSObject <SWKSuperwallDelegate>

@end

NS_ASSUME_NONNULL_END

// SWDelegate.m...
@implementation SWDelegate

- (void)handleSuperwallEventWithInfo:(SWKSuperwallEventInfo *)eventInfo {
  switch(eventInfo.event) {
    // Switch on any event type here...
    case SWKSuperwallEventTransactionComplete:
      NSLog(@"Transaction complete: %@", eventInfo.params[@"primary_product_id"]);
  }
}
```

:::

### Paywall Custom Actions

Using the [custom tap action](/docs/sdk/guides/advanced/custom-paywall-actions#custom-paywall-actions), you can respond to any arbitrary event from a paywall:

:::ios
## Tab

```swift Swift
class SWDelegate: SuperwallDelegate {
  func handleCustomPaywallAction(withName name: String) {
    if name == "showHelpCenter" {
      DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 0.33) {
        self.showHelpCenter.toggle()
      }
    }
  }
}
```

## Tab

```swift Objective-C
// SWDelegate.h...
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
@import SuperwallKit;

NS_ASSUME_NONNULL_BEGIN

@interface SWDelegate : NSObject <SWKSuperwallDelegate>

@end

NS_ASSUME_NONNULL_END

// SWDelegate.m...
#import "SWDelegate.h"

@implementation SWDelegate

- (void)handleCustomPaywallActionWithName:(NSString *)name {
  if ([name isEqualToString:@"showHelpCenter"]) {
   [self showHelpCenter];
  }
}

@end
```

:::

### Subscription status changes

You can be informed of subscription status changes using the delegate. If you need to set or handle the status on your own, use a [purchase controller](/docs/sdk/guides/advanced-configuration) — this function is only for informational, tracking or similar purposes:

:::ios
## Tab

```swift Swift
class SWDelegate: SuperwallDelegate {
  func subscriptionStatusDidChange(from oldValue: SubscriptionStatus, to newValue: SubscriptionStatus) {
    // Log or handle subscription change in your Ui
  }
}
```

## Tab

```swift Objective-C
// SWDelegate.h...
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
@import SuperwallKit;

NS_ASSUME_NONNULL_BEGIN

@interface SWDelegate : NSObject <SWKSuperwallDelegate>

@end

NS_ASSUME_NONNULL_END

// SWDelegate.m...
@implementation SWDelegate
- (void)subscriptionStatusDidChangeFrom:(enum SWKSubscriptionStatus)oldValue
                                     to:(enum SWKSubscriptionStatus)newValue {
  NSLog(@"Changed from %lu to %lu", (unsigned long)oldValue, (unsigned long)newValue);
}
@end
```

:::

### Paywall events

The delegate also has callbacks for several paywall events, such dismissing, presenting, and more. Here's an example:

:::ios
## Tab

```swift Swift
class SWDelegate: SuperwallDelegate {
  func didPresentPaywall(withInfo paywallInfo: PaywallInfo) {
    // paywallInfo will contain all of the presented paywall's info
  }
}
```

## Tab

```swift Objective-C
// SWDelegate.h...
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
@import SuperwallKit;

NS_ASSUME_NONNULL_BEGIN

@interface SWDelegate : NSObject <SWKSuperwallDelegate>

@end

NS_ASSUME_NONNULL_END

// SWDelegate.m...
@implementation SWDelegate
- (void)didPresentPaywallWithInfo:(SWKPaywallInfo *)paywallInfo {
  NSLog(@"Presented paywall with info: %@", paywallInfo);
}
@end
```
