Payment Methods

⚠️Beta Feature

RevenueCat Billing and the RevenueCat Web SDK are currently in beta.

Overview​

RevenueCat Billing currently supports the following payment methods for charging subscription and one-time purchases:

  • Credit card: Enabled by default, supports for all major card networks, and 3D Secure authentication (via Stripe)
  • Apple Pay: A low-friction wallet payment method for customers with stored credit cards on iOS or macOS devices (via Stripe)
  • Google Pay: A low-friction wallet payment method with the ability to use stored credit cards from Google Play, YouTube, Chrome and Android (via Stripe).
📘RevenuCat Billing manages payment methods

In general, RevenueCat Billing manages the payment methods that are shown to customers. Other than the additional required configuration below, you do not need to manage or enable payment methods in your Stripe account.

Configuring credit cards​

There is nothing you need to do to configure to accept credit card payments, which are enabled by default.

Configuring Apple Pay & Google Pay​

Beta limitation: Purchase confirmation view not displaying final purchase amount

Currently, customers checking out with Apple Pay or Google Pay won't see the final amount of the purchase in the native mobile confirmation screen, despite seeing it in the RevenueCat checkout. Customers who proceed with the purchase are still charged the correct amount for both subscriptions and one-time purchases. This shows as "amount pending" in the Apple Pay confirmation view:

How to configure Apple Pay & Google Pay​

To use Apple Pay and Google Pay, you need to register the domain where the payment takes place in the Stripe dashboard:

  • If you're taking payments through Web Paywall Links, you should add the pay.rev.cat domain.
  • If you're initiating purchases with the Web SDK, you should add your own domain where payments take place.

How to add payment domains​

📘Add payment domains in Live mode for production payments

Payment domains added in Test mode can be tested in Sandbox, using real cards (no real charges will be made). You need to add domains in Live mode to enable production purchases.

  1. Go to the Payment Method Domains page in your Stripe Dashboard.
  2. Click "Add a new domain", enter pay.rev.cat, and click "Save".
  3. (Web SDK only) Click "Add a new domain", and enter the domain where purchases take place on your website, including the subdomain. Click "Save".

You should see the added domains in the list next to a green "Enabled" tag.

Once enabled, Apple Pay and Google Pay will be displayed next to the credit card payment method in the checkout form, when available to the customer. There are no further steps required to handle payments with these methods.
