Duplicating Paywalls

Superwall

Superwall gives you the ability to remotely update your purchase screen (a.k.a. paywall), without shipping app updates. Changing things like pricing, design, location, text and discounts takes a few seconds from Superwall's dashboard.

Welcome

If you need fine-grain control over the purchasing pipeline, use a purchase controller.

Handling Purchases

Manually Handling Purchases and Subscription Status

If you want to use RevenueCat to handle your subscription-related logic with Superwall, follow this guide.

Using RevenueCat

Here's how to view whether or not a user is on a paid plan or not.

Tracking Subscription State

Use a Superwall delegate to help interface with 3rd party analytics, see which product was purchased on a paywall, handle custom placements and more.

Using the Superwall Delegate

It's important to tell Superwall when a deep link has been opened. This enables a few things:

Deep Links

You can set the click behavior of any element on a paywall to be a custom paywall action. This allows you to tie any tap in your paywall to hard-coded application logic.

Custom Paywall Actions

Use Observer mode to report purchases made outside of Superwall so they'll appear in your dashboard. Available for iOS and Android.

Observer Mode

If you wish to purchase products directly on iOS and Android, use our SDK's `purchase` methods.

Purchasing Products Outside of a Paywall

SuperwallKit supports Game Controller input.

Game Controller Support

(iOS only) When submitting your app for review, you'll need to fill out an App Store Privacy label. When using the Superwall SDK, there are a few choices you may need to consider.

App Store Privacy Labels

(iOS only) StoreKit testing in Xcode is a local test environment for testing in-app purchases without requiring a connection to App Store servers. Set up in-app purchases in a local StoreKit configuration file in your Xcode project, or create a synced StoreKit configuration file in Xcode from your in-app purchase settings in App Store Connect. After you enable the configuration file, the test environment uses this local data on your paywalls when your app calls StoreKit APIs.

Setting up StoreKit testing

Adding Products

Adding a paywall exit or post-purchase survey is a great way to boost conversion and get feedback on why users declined or purchased from your paywall. Once you've configured a survey, it can be attached to multiple paywalls. A user will only ever see a specific survey once unless you reset its responses.

As soon as your app launches, you need to configure the SDK with your **Public API Key**. You'll retrieve this from the Superwall settings page.

Configuring the SDK

When configuring the SDK you can pass in options that configure Superwall, the paywall presentation, and its appearance.

Passing in options

It is necessary to uniquely identify users to track their journey within Superwall.

User Management

By setting user attributes, you can display information about the user on the paywall. You can also define [audiences](/campaigns-audience) in a campaign to determine which paywall to show to a user, based on their user attributes.

Setting User Attributes

At the heart of Superwall's SDK lies `Superwall.shared.register(placement:params:handler:feature:)`. 

Showing Paywalls

You can toggle particular features to be either gated or non-gated without pushing app updates.

Feature Gating Settings

Placement parameters allow you to send additional data to the Superwall platform when registering placements.

Using Placement Parameters

The `PaywallPresentationHandler` enables you to monitor and respond to key events during paywall presentation, such as when a paywall is displayed, dismissed, encounters an error, or is skipped.

Presentation Handler

Using the Presentation Handler When Presenting Paywalls

There are several ways to view which product was purchased as a result of a paywall presentation.

Viewing Purchased Products

Use this technique to get an instance of a paywall manually, using either UIKit, SwiftUI, or Jetpack Compose.

Superwall can easily be integrated with 3rd party analytics tools.

3rd Party Analytics

The SDK automatically tracks some events, which power the charts in the dashboard. 

Superwall Events

To easily view Superwall cohorts in 3rd party tools, we recommend you set user attributes based on the experiments that users are included in. You can also use custom placements for creating analytics events for actions such as interacting with an element on a paywall.
