Subscription Status

Check subscription status and manage user access

You can check subscription status and manage user access to the premium content on your app by checking user entitlements with the checkEntitlements() method.

Entitlement is access to the premium features of your application.
→ Read more about creating and using entitlements here.

You need to call the checkEntitlements() method at the start of your app to check if a user has the required entitlement. This method will check the user's receipt and return current entitlements.

In addition, Qonversion can manage cross-platform entitlements with the User Identity concept (e.g. after your users subscribe using the IOS app, you can use Qonversion to check their entitlements in your Android or Web applications)

📘

Qonversion SDK caches all required data on products, offerings, and entitlements. The data is still immediately available when the internet connection is lost, or there are server-side delays.

🚧

Note, please, that the entitlement object is available only in case the user has made a purchase, or you granted the entitlement manually using the Customer tab or Grant Entitlement API. In other cases, you will receive an empty result.

The Entitlement Object

Var Name

Description

id

Qonversion entitlements ID. For example, premium

isActive

Boolean. true means a user has active entitlement.
Please note that isActive = true does not mean a subscription will be renewed. A user can have active entitlement while auto-renewal for the subscription is switched off.

source

Source of the purchase via which the entitlement was activated.
Values:
appstore: App Store
playstore: Play Store
stripe: Stripe
unknown: unable to detect the source
manual: the entitlement was activated manually

startedDate

Initial transaction date. For a subscription with a trial period, the date will be when the trial starts.

trialStartDate

The trial start date for current entitlement.
Null for entitlement that was unlocked by consumable/non-consumable/lifetime purchase or subscription without a trial period.

firstPurchaseDate

The date of the first purchase.

lastPurchaseDate

The date of the last purchase.

autoRenewDisableDate

The date when auto-renew for the subscription was disabled.

expirationDate

The expiration date for a subscription.

nonRenewable - consumable or non-consumable in-app purchase,
willRenew – subscription is active, and auto-renew status is on,
billingIssue – there was some billing issue,
canceled – the subscription was cancelled,
unknown - if we don't have information about the renewal state.

renewsCount

Subscription renews count for the entitlement. Renews count starts from the second paid transaction.
For example, we have 20 transactions:

  • All the other - subscription renew transactions, thus renewsCount is equal to 18.
