  3. Create an Offering with those Products

  5. Finally, click on the Create a Web Paywall Link for this Offering button

Choose a RevenueCat Billing app from the dropdown if you have more than one

Package Selection page​

Redirect to a custom URL​

In this case, right after purchasing your product, the customer will be redirected to the URL that you specify in the Web Paywall Link configuration.

Once you are ready, click Save and your changes will be applied immediately.

⚠️Immediate apply

As soon as you click save, any subscriber visiting your Web Paywall Link will see the changes immediately.

You can always run tests by creating a Web Paywall Link for another offering.

Once you finalize your setup you will receive 2 links:

  • A production URL that looks like https://pay.rev.cat/<someProductionTokenWeGenerate>/<yourAppUserId>
  • A sandbox URL that looks like https://pay.rev.cat/<someSandboxTokenWeGenerate>/<yourAppUserId>
❗️Do not send the sandbox URL to customers

The Sandbox URL allows you to test purchases using Stripe test card numbers. Do not distribute this link or whoever will use it will be able to subscribe to your application for free using one of the Stripe testing cards.

⚠️Use one unique App User ID per customer

RevenueCat Billing works with identified customers. You need to specify a unique app user id for each one of the subscribers you want to reach with this link. You can read more about this requirement here.

If you don't add an App User ID to the link it will redirect to https://www.revenuecat.com/.

URL parameters​

If you already have your customer's email address, use email to preset an email address on the payment page: https://pay.rev.cat/<someProductionTokenWeGenerate>/<yourAppUserId>?email=<customerEmail>
