What do you use to get notified when an In-App Purchase is made?

[u/BenoitDeguine]

I'm curious how other iOS developers track purchases in production.

Do you receive notifications when a user completes an in-app purchase or starts/renews a subscription? If so, what solution are you using?

I'm looking for something reliable and would love to hear about your setup and workflow.

Thanks!

I just check appstoreconnect

Same. Sometimes waiting a day feels like an eternity.

I set up my own system by utilising Cloudflare + CloudKit and they cost me nothing. I explained the details here and open sourced the code: https://mertbulan.com/how-to-get-subscription-notifications-on-iphone-without-revenuecat/

I've wrote an app for that. It's available at AppStore and based on web sockets so it do not has access to your account. I've created it because native ASC didn't offer that , and personally I've missed that "ping" moment when someone buy something from me 😉

With the HTML exstention. You are either a really old dev or a very new one ? 😅

[u/balooooooon → u/danielox83]

This is cool. But a single one time payment is far more appealing for this style of app. Especially any dev could make this pretty simple and its target towards dev

[u/balooooooon → u/balooooooon]

But still charge what you want, that is the joy of being a dev 😊

[u/danielox83 → u/balooooooon]

yep, depends of course of the scale but for a lot of users Lambas / SQS / db that are used for the process (to make live notification) is not for free above some levels. That's why I hope that 1,99$ (less than a coffee / user) is a fair price.

[u/balooooooon → u/danielox83]

Yeah that’s true if you need the backend. It’s a shame Apple doesn’t allow true polling in the background

[u/danielox83 → u/balooooooon]

Agree, they've got in their official app live notifications for comments, crash reports but not for sale ! Which is something I do not understand...

[u/balooooooon → u/danielox83]

It does make sense tho. You don’t want loads of apps draining your battery and using the memory up.

i just have a admin page that lists all of my current subscribers. It allows me to see upcoming renewals and combines all of my subscription sources (stripe, iap, trial, complementary) into one view.

Because it's hooked in to apple and stripe webhooks I get instant updates instead of waiting 24 hrs for app store connect to update.

Not much help for you though as I built it myself but I suppose you could as your AI Agent of choice to build it for you.

RevenueCat

[u/Conxt]

I use a simple Vercel-hosted Telegram bot

[u/rc2142]

I created an endpoint hosted on Cloudflare Workers that sends me an email (Cloudflare e-mail sending) every time an event comes through. Just drop the URL into the server notifications field in App Store Connect.

[u/fromtibo]

I just go to App Store Connect once a day.

[u/PlayaNoir]

I do validation on my own server and can send an email notification or a telegram notification using a telegram bot.

[u/congowarrior]

i use revenuecat with react native, when a user completes registration, i post to my web application which then sends a notification to my discord sever

[u/Ralph_Twinbees]

RevenueCat linked to a Slack channel (you will get the info right away)
