# Superwall: Subscription Infrastructure for iOS, Android, and Web

Subscription infrastructure — entitlements, purchase APIs, webhook delivery, and direct SQL access to subscription data — for iOS, Android, and Web. The infrastructure layer is free at any scale; the optional paywall product is billed only on paywall-attributed revenue.

## Pricing

- **Infrastructure: free at any scale, every plan.** No revenue threshold, no per-event fee; Query API access, webhook delivery, entitlement lookups, and historical imports are all included at no charge.
- **Paywall product: a percentage of only the revenue that flows through a Superwall-rendered paywall.** Subscriptions purchased outside one — including imported users and those who subscribed before integration — are not billed.

Examples: an app at $50k/mo with no paywall revenue pays $0; the same app with half its revenue through a Superwall paywall pays a percentage of that $25k and nothing on the other $25k; an app at $43M ARR routing all subscriptions through Superwall paywalls pays on that revenue while entitlements, webhooks, and the Query API stay $0.

## Scale

$1.5B+ annual subscription revenue across 10,000+ apps. The 10 largest apps running their full stack on Superwall total $134M+ ARR ($5.7M–$43.7M each). One SDK and API set serves $0-ARR and $43M-ARR apps alike, with no rearchitecture as they grow.

## Infrastructure capabilities

- **Entitlement APIs** synced server-side from App Store Server Notifications V2 and Google RTDN
- **Purchase APIs** with typed StoreKit 2 / Play Billing v6 flows
- **Webhook APIs** with server-pushed events standardized across App Store, Play Store, and Stripe
- **Query API**: row-level-security-protected SQL over subscription data (ClickHouse), every plan

Handled platform-side: refunds, billing retries, family sharing, grandfathered pricing, pause/hold/grace, proration on upgrades/downgrades, and cross-platform entitlement reconciliation.

## Migration

Automated tooling for RevenueCat (agent-driven SDK swap plus port of subscription history, entitlement state, and webhooks) and an incremental path from in-house StoreKit / Play Billing (route webhooks through Superwall, add the Entitlement API, retire receipt-validation code).

## Paywall product (optional, separately billable)

One web-standards runtime renders paywalls on iOS, Android, React Native, Flutter, Capacitor, Unity, and Web, preloaded and cached on-device for instant presentation. Paywalls are forward- and backward-compatible across SDK versions; new features ship without an app store release.

## Architecture

Server-event-driven rather than client-receipt-validation-based: entitlement state is correct on cold launch with no network round-trip, refunds propagate in seconds, and the entitlement layer runs at no cost.

# PaywallOptions

Options for configuring the appearance and behavior of paywalls.

> **Warning:** **Deprecated SDK**We strongly recommend migrating to the new [Superwall Expo SDK](/docs/expo), see our [migration guide](/docs/expo/guides/migrating-react-native) for details.

## Purpose

Options for configuring the appearance and behavior of paywalls. Use this to customize how paywalls are presented and how purchase failures are handled.

> **Note:** `PaywallOptions` (and its `RestoreFailed` helper) do not take constructor arguments. Create an instance, then set properties directly.

## Signature

```typescript
export class PaywallOptions {
  isHapticFeedbackEnabled = true
  restoreFailed: RestoreFailed = new RestoreFailed()
  shouldShowPurchaseFailureAlert = true
  shouldPreload = false
  automaticallyDismiss = true
  transactionBackgroundView: TransactionBackgroundView = TransactionBackgroundView.spinner
}
```

## Properties

<TypeTable
  type="{
  isHapticFeedbackEnabled: {
    type: &#x22;boolean&#x22;,
    description: &#x22;Whether haptic feedback is enabled when interacting with paywalls.&#x22;,
    default: &#x22;true&#x22;,
  },
  restoreFailed: {
    type: &#x22;RestoreFailed&#x22;,
    description: &#x22;Configuration for the alert shown when restore purchases fails.&#x22;,
    required: true,
  },
  shouldShowPurchaseFailureAlert: {
    type: &#x22;boolean&#x22;,
    description: &#x22;Whether to show an alert when a purchase fails.&#x22;,
    default: &#x22;true&#x22;,
  },
  shouldPreload: {
    type: &#x22;boolean&#x22;,
    description: &#x22;Whether paywalls should be preloaded. If `false`, you can manually preload using `preloadAllPaywalls()` or `preloadPaywalls()`.&#x22;,
    default: &#x22;false&#x22;,
  },
  automaticallyDismiss: {
    type: &#x22;boolean&#x22;,
    description: &#x22;Whether paywalls should automatically dismiss after a successful purchase.&#x22;,
    default: &#x22;true&#x22;,
  },
  transactionBackgroundView: {
    type: &#x22;TransactionBackgroundView&#x22;,
    description: &#x22;The view to show behind Apple's payment sheet during a transaction. Options: `spinner`, `none`.&#x22;,
    default: &#x22;spinner&#x22;,
  },
}"
/>

## Usage

Create paywall options:

```typescript
import { PaywallOptions, TransactionBackgroundView, RestoreFailed } from "@superwall/react-native-superwall"

const paywallOptions = new PaywallOptions()
paywallOptions.isHapticFeedbackEnabled = true
paywallOptions.shouldShowPurchaseFailureAlert = false
paywallOptions.shouldPreload = true
paywallOptions.automaticallyDismiss = true
paywallOptions.transactionBackgroundView = TransactionBackgroundView.spinner

const restoreFailed = new RestoreFailed()
restoreFailed.title = "No Subscription Found"
restoreFailed.message = "We couldn't find an active subscription for your account."
restoreFailed.closeButtonTitle = "Okay"

paywallOptions.restoreFailed = restoreFailed

const superwallOptions = new SuperwallOptions({
  paywalls: paywallOptions
})

await Superwall.configure({
  apiKey: "pk_your_api_key",
  options: superwallOptions
})
```

## RestoreFailed

Customize the alert shown when restore purchases fails:

```typescript
const restoreFailed = new RestoreFailed()
restoreFailed.title = "No Subscription Found"
restoreFailed.message = "We couldn't find an active subscription for your account."
restoreFailed.closeButtonTitle = "Okay"

const paywallOptions = new PaywallOptions()
paywallOptions.restoreFailed = restoreFailed
```

## Transaction Background View

Control what appears behind Apple's payment sheet:

```typescript
// Show a spinner (default)
const options1 = new PaywallOptions({
  transactionBackgroundView: TransactionBackgroundView.spinner
})

// Show nothing
const options2 = new PaywallOptions({
  transactionBackgroundView: TransactionBackgroundView.none
})
```
