# 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.

# PaywallOptions

Configuration for paywall presentation and behavior in the Superwall iOS SDK.

> **Tip:** `PaywallOptions` is provided via the `paywalls` property on [`SuperwallOptions`](/docs/ios/sdk-reference/SuperwallOptions) and is passed when calling [`configure`](/docs/ios/sdk-reference/configure).

## Purpose

Customize how paywalls look and behave, including preload behavior, alerts, dismissal, and haptics.

## Signature

```swift
@objcMembers
public final class PaywallOptions: NSObject {
  public var isHapticFeedbackEnabled: Bool = true

  public final class RestoreFailed: NSObject {
    public var title: String = "No Subscription Found"
    public var message: String = "We couldn't find an active subscription for your account."
    public var closeButtonTitle: String = "Okay"
  }
  public var restoreFailed: RestoreFailed = RestoreFailed()

  public var shouldShowWebRestorationAlert: Bool = true

  public final class NotificationPermissionsDenied: NSObject {
    public var title: String = "Notification Permissions Denied"
    public var message: String = "Please enable notification permissions from the Settings app so we can notify you when your free trial ends."
    public var actionButtonTitle: String = "Open Settings"
    public var closeButtonTitle: String = "Not now"
  }
  public var notificationPermissionsDenied: NotificationPermissionsDenied?

  public var shouldShowPurchaseFailureAlert: Bool = true
  public var shouldPreload: Bool = true
  public var automaticallyDismiss: Bool = true

  public var overrideProductsByName: [String: String]? = [:]
  public var shouldShowWebPurchaseConfirmationAlert: Bool = true

  public enum TransactionBackgroundView: Int {
    case spinner
    case none
  }
  public var transactionBackgroundView: TransactionBackgroundView = .spinner
}
```
