RevenueCat can automatically send data deliveries of all of your apps' transaction data to various cloud storage providers. These are in the form of gzip compressed .csv files delivered daily. Setup Instructions

[block:parameters] *Available only on our most recent export version A note on transaction dataAll transaction data is based on the store receipts that RevenueCat has received. Receipts often have inconsistencies and quirks which may need to be considered. For example:
We try to normalize or at least annotate these quirks as much as possible, but by and large we consider receipts as the sources of truth, so any inconsistencies in the transaction data can always be traced back to the receipt. Updating to the latest versionIf you're on an older version of our exports, updating is easy:

GROUP BY 1See contentsWhat is RevenueCat?RevenueCat provides a backend and a wrapper around StoreKit and Google Play Billing to make implementing in-app purchases and subscriptions easy. With our SDK, you can build and manage your app business on any platform without having to maintain IAP infrastructure. You can read more about how RevenueCat fits into your app or you can sign up free to start building. InstallationWe provide 2 ways to install our SDK: via Unity Package Manager (UPM) in the OpenUPM registry, or as a Option 1 (recommended): Install using OpenUPM

Create a GameObject with the Purchases behaviorThe Purchases package will include a MonoBehavior called Purchases. This will be your access point to RevenueCat from inside Unity. It should be instantiated once and kept as a singleton. You can use properties to configure your API Key, app user ID (if you have one), and product identifiers you want to fetch. Link StoreKit (iOS only)
Subclass Purchases.Listener MonoBehaviorThe Purchases behavior takes one additional parameter, a GameObject with a Purchases.Listener component. This will be where you handle purchase events, and updated subscriber information from RevenueCat. Here is a simple example: using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class PurchasesListener : Purchases.UpdatedCustomerInfoListener
{
public override void CustomerInfoReceived(Purchases.CustomerInfo customerInfo)
{
// display new CustomerInfo
}
private void Start()
{
var purchases = GetComponent<Purchases>();
purchases.SetDebugLogsEnabled(true);
purchases.GetOfferings((offerings, error) =>
{
if (error != null)
{
// show error
}
else
{
// show offering
}
});
}
public void BeginPurchase(Purchases.Package package)
{
var purchases = GetComponent<Purchases>();
purchases.PurchasePackage(package, (productIdentifier, customerInfo, userCancelled, error) =>
{
if (!userCancelled)
{
if (error != null)
{
// show error
}
else
{
// show updated Customer Info
}
}
else
{
// user cancelled, don't show an error
}
});
}
void RestoreClicked()
{
var purchases = GetComponent<Purchases>();
purchases.RestorePurchases((customerInfo, error) =>
{
if (error != null)
{
// show error
}
else
{
// show updated Customer Info
}
});
}

To install download If using RevenueCat alongside Unity IAP 2.2.0+ or other plugin that includes the Android BillingClient library you will be getting an error when compiling that warns about some BillingClient classes being duplicated. The easiest way to remove the error would be to tell Gradle to not include the billingclient library that Unity IAP is already including.
