​
Overview

Want to monetize your app? RevenueCat makes it simple to add subscriptions and in-app purchases to your iOS app without complex payment code. Instead of wrestling with Apple’s in-app purchase APIs or building your own payment infrastructure, RevenueCat handles subscription management, entitlements, and revenue tracking. You focus on building features; RevenueCat handles monetization. Here’s what you get:
  • Set up monetization quickly - Configure subscriptions, one-time purchases, and premium features without writing payment code
  • Track revenue and growth - Monitor revenue, analyze customer behavior, and understand what’s driving your business
  • Test and optimize - Build paywalls, A/B test pricing, and optimize your revenue strategy with real data
Apple processes all payments, but RevenueCat gives you the tools and insights to grow your app’s revenue effectively.

​
Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

​
Setup

​
Connect your accounts at the platform level

First, connect your accounts at the platform level to enable in-app purchases and subscriptions across all your projects.
1

Navigate to Settings

Go to Dashboard > Settings > Accept Payments > Mobile
2

Connect App Store Connect

Connect your App Store Developer account to enable in-app purchases and subscriptions.
3

Connect RevenueCat

Connect your RevenueCat account to manage subscriptions and track revenue.
During RevenueCat onboarding, you may see code snippets or packages. Ignore these for now. Anything handles the integration automatically.

​
Add RevenueCat to your project

After connecting at the platform level, add RevenueCat to your project using the AI agent.
1

Open your project

Navigate to the mobile app project where you want to add RevenueCat.
2

Set up RevenueCat

In the chat, ask the agent to set up RevenueCat:
"Add RevenueCat + App Store Connect to this project"
The AI builder will automatically connect your project to matching projects in RevenueCat and App Store Connect, or create new ones if needed.
3

Configure products

The agent helps you set up subscription tiers and products. You can define:
  • Subscription plans (monthly, yearly, etc.)
  • One-time purchases
  • Entitlements that unlock features in your app
Reviewing connections (optional): You can review the connections the AI builder made by going to Project Settings > In app purchases. This shows the connected projects in RevenueCat and App Store Connect, but you don’t need to manually configure these—the AI handles it automatically.

​
How it works

RevenueCat integrates automatically with your mobile app. Here’s how the payment flow works:
  1. Configure products using the AI agent in Anything. For example: "Create a Pro Level Subscription that is 9.99 USD a month"
  2. Users make purchases through Apple’s in-app purchase system (they see Apple’s payment UI)
  3. Apple processes the payment and takes their commission (typically 15-30%)
  4. RevenueCat receives the purchase event from Apple and tracks subscription status
  5. RevenueCat unlocks features in your app based on entitlements
  6. You receive payouts from Apple (not RevenueCat) according to Apple’s payout schedule
RevenueCat manages subscriptions and entitlements. Apple processes payments. No code is required. Everything is handled through prompts and configuration with the AI agent.

​
