Using Superwall Deep Links

How to use Superwall Deep Links to trigger paywalls or custom in-app behavior.

A Superwall Deep Link is a URL hosted at https://<subdomain>.superwall.app/app-link/... that opens your app to trigger a paywall as configured on the Superwall dashboard, or custom in-app behavior via the Superwall delegate.

Prerequisites

  1. Set up deep link handling
  1. Create a Web Checkout app, even if you do not plan to charge through Web Checkout, this provisions the *.superwall.app domain that powers Superwall Deep Links.
  • Always call handleDeepLink first. It returns true when the SDK recognizes the URL and plans to take over presentation, or false when you should continue routing inside your own app.
  • When a recognized link arrives before Superwall.configure(...) finishes, the SDK caches it and replays it immediately after configuration completes, so it is safe to forward links during cold launch.
  • If the return value is false, continue with your normal router—those links are not associated with any Superwall experience.
func application(
  _ app: UIApplication,
  open url: URL,
  options: [UIApplication.OpenURLOptionsKey: Any] = [:]
) -> Bool {
  let handled = Superwall.handleDeepLink(url)
  if handled {
    return true
  }

  return routeInternally(url)
}

Deep link URLs are hosted at https://<subdomain>.superwall.app/app-link/..., you can have anything after the /app-link/ path, including query parameters. These values will be availble to you in audience filters on the Superwall dashboard, or in the handleSuperwallDeepLink delegate method.

final class PaywallDelegate: SuperwallDelegate {
  func handleSuperwallDeepLink(
    _ url: URL,
    pathComponents: [String],
    queryParameters: [String: String]
  ) {
    guard let head = pathComponents.first else { return }

    switch head {
    case "campaign":
      if pathComponents.count > 1 {
        routeToCampaignDetail(id: pathComponents[1])
      }
    default:
      break
    }
  }
}

Keep your own routing logic in place for non-Superwall URLs and for any additional behaviors you want to stack on top of Superwall’s default presentation flow.
