Report transactions in Observer Mode in iOS SDK

In Observer mode, the Adapty SDK can’t track purchases made through your existing purchase system on its own. You need to report transactions from your app store. It’s crucial to set this up before releasing your app to avoid errors in analytics.

Use reportTransaction to explicitly report each transaction for Adapty to recognize it.

If you use Adapty paywalls, include the variationId when reporting a transaction. This links the purchase to the paywall that triggered it, ensuring accurate paywall analytics.

do {
    // every time when calling transasction.finish()
    try await Adapty.reportTransaction(transaction, withVariationId: <YOUR_PAYWALL_VARIATION_ID>)
} catch {
    // handle the error
}

Parameters:

Parameter	Presence	Description
transaction	required	For StoreKit 1: SKPaymentTransaction. For StoreKit 2: Transaction.
variationId	optional	The unique ID of the paywall variation. Retrieve it from the variationId property of the AdaptyPaywall object.

In Observer mode, the Adapty SDK can’t track purchases made through your existing purchase system on its own. You need to report transactions from your app store or restore them. It’s crucial to set this up before releasing your app to avoid errors in analytics.

Use reportTransaction to send the transaction data to Adapty.

If you use Adapty paywalls, include the withVariationId when reporting a transaction. This links the purchase to the paywall that triggered it, ensuring accurate paywall analytics.

do {
    // every time when calling transasction.finish()
    try await Adapty.reportTransaction(transaction, withVariationId: <YOUR_PAYWALL_VARIATION_ID>)
} catch {
    // handle the error
}

Parameters:

Parameter	Presence	Description
transaction	required	For StoreKit 1: SKPaymentTransaction. For StoreKit 2: Transaction.
variationId	optional	The unique ID of the paywall variation. Retrieve it from the variationId property of the AdaptyPaywall object.

Reporting transactions

• Versions up to 3.1.x automatically listen for transactions in the App Store, so manual reporting is not required.
• Version 3.2 does not support Observer Mode.

Associating paywalls to transactions

Adapty SDK cannot determine the source of purchases, as you are the one processing them. Therefore, if you intend to use paywalls and/or A/B tests in Observer mode, you need to associate the transaction coming from your app store with the corresponding paywall in your mobile app code. This is important to get right before releasing your app, otherwise, it will lead to errors in analytics.

let variationId = paywall.variationId
// There are two overloads: for StoreKit 1 and StoreKit 2
Adapty.setVariationId(variationId, forPurchasedTransaction: transactionId) { error in
    if error == nil {
        // successful binding
    }    
}

Request parameters:

Parameter	Presence	Description
variationId	required	The string identifier of the variation. You can get it using variationId property of the AdaptyPaywall object.
transactionId	required	For StoreKit 1: an SKPaymentTransaction object. For StoreKit 2: Transaction object.
