1. Create a RevenueCat Account

We recommend using a company account when registering for RevenueCat and setting up your app within a project. You’ll be able to invite the rest of your team as collaborators to your project, but only the project owner can manage billing. Project collaborators can’t manage billing details.

2. Project and App Configuration

▶️ Create a Project

Navigate to the RevenueCat dashboard and add a new project from the dropdown in the top navigation menu called Projects.

▶️ Add an App / Platform

Select the platform for the app you want to add.

▶️ Appstore App Setup

The field App name is required to add your app to RevenueCat. For iOS apps In-App Purchase Key(iOS) is also required. To make test and production purchases, the Bundle ID (iOS) as well as the Shared Secret(iOS) must be configured.

IMPORTANT

If you try making purchases without a bundle ID and valid credentials, the SDK will fail with a ‘receipt is not valid‘ error as RevenueCat will be unable to validate the transaction with the store.
