Shipaton 2025 - Day 23 - Paywall Configuration

What I Built Today

Today was about making the paywall callable, predictable, and ready for end-to-end testing.

✔️ Created and configured the paywall in the RevenueCat web portal (offerings, targeting, copy placeholders).

✔️ Added initial Android code to reference that paywall for in-app display (linked with the RevenueCat offering ID).

✔️ Wired the reference into the app flow so the paywall can be triggered at the right moments.

✔️ Kept scope intentionally tight: clean config + a reliable app reference before any UI polish.

Why a Clean Paywall Integration Matters

✅ Reduces integration risk: a single, named offering → fewer mismatches between UI and products.

✅ Faster iteration: once the reference is stable, I can tweak copy, layout, and experiments without touching product mapping.

✅ Correct entitlements by design: consistent IDs ensure purchases unlock exactly what they should.

✅ Analytics sanity: a stable paywall entry point makes conversion, cohort, and funnel tracking reliable later.

✅ Future-proofing: easy to layer intro pricing, regional tests, or seasonal promos via RevenueCat without refactoring app code.

Conclusion

Today’s update locks in a dependable bridge between the Android app and RevenueCat. With the paywall configured and callable from the app flow, I’m set to validate rendering and entitlements next by testing the paywall. This stage is vital because I need to confirm that it renders correctly and unlocks the appropriate entitlements!
