One Time Products with RevenueCat

Sell one time products on Android without writing BillingClient glue. The RevenueCat SDK fetches products, launches the purchase, verifies the receipt, and acknowledges or consumes the token for you.

Phase 1: Scope

Answer these before touching code.

Question	Decision
Is the product consumable or non consumable?	Mark consumables in the RevenueCat dashboard so the SDK calls consumeAsync for you.
Do you read access through entitlements or transactions?	Prefer entitlements so access logic stays decoupled from product IDs.
Do you need server notification of the purchase?	Use RevenueCat webhooks. The INITIAL_PURCHASE event fires for every new non subscription purchase.

Do not call BillingClient.queryProductDetailsAsync, acknowledgePurchase, or consumeAsync yourself once RevenueCat is integrated. The SDK owns the BillingClient instance.

Phase 2: Prepare

• Configure the product in Google Play Console as a one time product.
• In the RevenueCat dashboard, attach the product to an offering and package, and flag it as consumable if it should be consumed on purchase.
• Confirm Purchases.configure runs once on app start with your Android API key and the current App User ID.

Phase 3: Execute

Fetch offerings, launch the purchase, then read the result off CustomerInfo.

val offerings = Purchases.sharedInstance.awaitOfferings()
val pkg = offerings.current?.availablePackages?.first() ?: return

Launch the purchase with awaitPurchase. It suspends until the RevenueCat backend verifies the token.

val result = Purchases.sharedInstance.awaitPurchase(
    PurchaseParams.Builder(activity, pkg).build()
)
val info = result.customerInfo

Read access through entitlements, or fall back to the non subscription transactions list.

val hasAccess = info.entitlements["lifetime_access"]?.isActive == true
val owned = info.nonSubscriptionTransactions
    .any { it.productIdentifier == "lifetime_product_id" }
