RevenueCat is for mobile apps. For web apps, use Stripe.

​
Overview

RevenueCat manages subscription logic and entitlements for your iOS app. Apple processes all payments through their in-app purchase system. With RevenueCat, you can:
  • Track subscription status and manage entitlements
  • Create and test paywall templates
  • Analyze revenue and manage customers
  • Sync subscriptions across platforms

​
Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

​
Setup

​
Connect your accounts at the platform level

First, connect your accounts at the platform level to enable in-app purchases and subscriptions across all your projects.
1

Navigate to Settings

Go to Dashboard > Settings > Accept Payments > Mobile
2

Connect App Store Connect

Connect your App Store Developer account to enable in-app purchases and subscriptions.
3

Connect RevenueCat

Connect your RevenueCat account to manage subscriptions and track revenue.
During RevenueCat onboarding, you may see code snippets or packages. Ignore these for now. Anything handles the integration automatically.

​
Connect your accounts at the project level

After connecting at the platform level, connect your accounts at the project level. In this step, you’re connecting a specific Anything Mobile Project to its corresponding, matching project in RevenueCat and App Store Connect. If you don’t yet have projects in those systems to link to, you can create them in this menu and link them.
1

Open your project

Navigate to the mobile app project where you want to add RevenueCat.
2

Navigate to project settings

In your project, go to Project Settings > In app purchases to connect to the matching projects in RevenueCat and App Store Connect.
3

Connect App Store Connect

Connect to the matching project in App Store Connect, or create a new project if needed.
4

Connect RevenueCat

Connect to the matching project in RevenueCat, or create a new project if needed. This ensures you can control and track revenue for this project.

​
Add RevenueCat to your project

1

Add the integration

Once your accounts are connected, in the chat, ask the agent to add RevenueCat integration:
"Add RevenueCat + App Store Connect to this project"
2

Configure products

The agent helps you set up subscription tiers and products. You can define:
  • Subscription plans (monthly, yearly, etc.)
  • One-time purchases
  • Entitlements that unlock features in your app

​
How it works

RevenueCat integrates automatically with your mobile app. Here’s how the payment flow works:
  1. Configure products in both App Store Connect and RevenueCat
  2. Users make purchases through Apple’s in-app purchase system (they see Apple’s payment UI)
  3. Apple processes the payment and takes their commission (typically 15-30%)
  4. RevenueCat receives the purchase event from Apple and tracks subscription status
  5. RevenueCat unlocks features in your app based on entitlements
  6. You receive payouts from Apple (not RevenueCat) according to Apple’s payout schedule
RevenueCat manages subscriptions and entitlements. Apple processes payments. No code is required. Everything is handled through prompts and configuration.

​
Testing

​
Testing in the Anything iOS App

You can test your RevenueCat integration directly in the Anything iOS App on your device. This allows you to:
  • Test purchases and subscriptions in Apple’s sandbox environment
  • Validate paywall functionality before going live
  • Test subscription states and payment flows
  • Preview your app natively on your device
To test RevenueCat in the Anything iOS App:
  1. Install the Anything iOS App - Download from the App Store and sign in with your Anything account
  2. Open your project - Your projects sync automatically between devices
  3. Test natively - Preview and test your app directly on your device with full native functionality
For detailed instructions on testing mobile apps, see Testing & Debugging Mobile Apps. When you’re ready to publish to the App Store, see Publishing to iOS App Store for instructions on submitting your app to App Store Connect.

​
Production

Once your app is approved and released:
  • Real payment processing through Apple’s App Store
  • Automatic App Store compliance
  • Live analytics and customer management in your RevenueCat dashboard
