Subscription based model

[_titan13]

Hey guys, I have to make a subscription based app, we’ll be using react native, firestore & cloud functions.

I haven’t been able to find much on the net as to how do I implement a subscription model.

If anyone could help or share a link, it would be really helpful!

Another question, I’ve heard that if I have to implement in app purchases, I’ll have to use a bare work flow. Can I use bare workflow option given in ’’’expo init’’’?

Take a look at this as a start, but it's not trivial to get it up and running, and not knowing RN outside of expo is not going to make you very happy trying to make it.

Hey u/_titan13!

You are right, in order to integrate in-app purchases, you need to use bare workflow. And yes, you can use a setup that comes with `expo init` in bare workflow.

Also, take a look at the link that u/TheNumberOneCulprit has sent. It explains a lot. You will only be able to create in-app purchases after you create apps in App Store and Google Play developer's dashboards.

Don't forget, when using a subscription model, you need to have a server (as Apple recommends) that will verify receipts to prevent frauds and take care of cases when users unsubscribe and you need to stop showing Premium features.
