IAP Monthly Subscription for Business App

Corona Marketplace Corona Community Plugins
#1

Hi,

I’m working on a business app that I want to monetize with a monthly subscription. I know that “Happy Mongoose Games” created an awesome plugin called “IAP Badger”, so I wonder if that plugin can help me with subscriptions. If not, do you know how can I achieve this?

I think I saw Ed Maurina used a monthly susbscription funcionality in the pro version of EAT Framework, and I’d like to implement something similar, an option for a monthly suscription and another for a one-time payment

Thanks in advance,

Hi Hector,

IAP Badger doesn’t support recurring subscriptions, because Corona itself doesn’t support them through the standard IAP libraries/plug-ins (I believe).

One solution would be for you set up a one off payment that would be a standard IAP purchase - you’d then store the user’s purchase information in an online database.  You would then query this to check that their subscription is up to date.

Obviously, though, this wouldn’t allow for recurring subscriptions, which is what I believe you’re really after.

Thanks a lot Simon, I think I’ll just use normal IAP using your plugin to release specific modules
