What is RevenueCat?

RevenueCat is the tool that lets your app sell subscriptions and in-app purchases. It handles the hard parts of App Store payments: products, receipts, renewals, refunds. Bloxks uses it to turn your app into a business.

What it unlocks in Bloxks

  • Paywall: Bloxks designs the screen where users subscribe, matched to your app’s look, and wires it to real products.
  • Products and offers: monthly, yearly, lifetime, free trials. Describe your pricing in the chat and Bloxks creates the products in RevenueCat.
  • Premium access: lock features behind a subscription. Bloxks checks who has paid and shows the right content to the right users.
  • Revenue tracking: subscribers, trials, churn and revenue, all visible in the RevenueCat dashboard in real time.

Connect RevenueCat to Bloxks

  1. Open Connections in Bloxks and pick RevenueCat.
  2. Click Connect RevenueCat. A RevenueCat window opens.
  3. Sign in, or create a free account.
  4. Authorize Bloxks. You come right back, connected.

Prefer manual keys? You can also paste a secret API key (sk_...) per project from the RevenueCat dashboard, under Project settings, then API keys. With a pasted key, though, Bloxks cannot create the RevenueCat project and apps for you: you would have to create them yourself. The Connect RevenueCat button is the recommended path.

Test a purchase before publishing

In the Paywall tab, switch Purchase mode to Test: purchases in the builder’s web preview go through RevenueCat’s Test Store, really unlock premium and show up in your dashboard, without an Apple account or a single cent. Every publish switches back to Production on its own.

Good to know

  • RevenueCat is free until your app makes real money, so there is no risk in starting.
  • Every payment in a Bloxks app goes through RevenueCat: it is the reliable, Apple-approved way to sell subscriptions.
  • Prices are set on the stores. When you publish, Bloxks creates your subscriptions and their prices on the App Store and Google Play, then links them in RevenueCat.
  • Bloxks also gives RevenueCat your Google Play credentials. One setting remains on your side in RevenueCat before real sales: the Apple in-app purchase key. The full checklist: Paywall and subscriptions.

Frequently asked questions

RevenueCat is free until your app makes significant revenue. So trying it costs you nothing.

Yes, with Test mode in the Paywall tab: the purchase goes through RevenueCat’s Test Store, unlocks premium in the preview and appears under Customers, then Sandbox. Nothing is charged. See Test purchases.

Almost always a store setting, not your app: the Apple paid apps agreement, the Apple purchase key, or products not propagated yet. The full list is in Paywall and subscriptions.

RevenueCat is missing the Apple in-app purchase key: without it, the purchase is not recorded. Follow Apple in-app purchase key.

Yes. Bloxks creates the products on both sides and links them to the same premium access, so a subscriber stays subscribed on both.
