It also contends a Content Integration Agreement prohibits Sonos from claiming ownership of any technology developed during the partnership.

International Trade Commission in Washington. The commission is scheduled to announce the next steps in the case on Friday. He currently has a monthly subscription to the Tier 1 version of the content, which is text-only.

When upgrading the subscription, the developer selects a proration mode. The following list describes how each proration mode affects Samwise's subscription:.

When choosing a proration mode, be sure to review our proration recommendations. Your app can offer users an upgrade or downgrade using the same steps as with launching a purchase flow. However, when upgrading or downgrading, you need to provide details for the current subscription, the future upgraded or downgraded subscription, and the proration mode to use, as shown in the following example:.

For the immediate replacement proration modes, your app receives the new purchase in your PurchasesUpdatedListener.

The purchase is also available in BillingClient. When you receive the purchase token, follow the same verification process as with verifying a new purchase token.

Make sure to acknowledge these purchases with BillingClient. Be sure to invalidate the token provided in the linkedPurchaseToken to ensure that the old token is not used to gain access to your services. See Upgrades, downgrades, and resignups for information on handling upgrade and downgrade purchases. For the deferred replacement mode, your app receives a call to your PurchasesUpdatedListener with an empty list of purchases and a status of whether the upgrade or downgrade was successful.

Until the replacement takes effect, BillingClient. For deferred replacements, it is strongly recommended to listen to this notification and to acknowledge the purchase using Purchases. The linkedPurchaseToken in the subscription resource can be used to determine which user in your subscription backend, if applicable, should be updated with the new entitlement.

Your app should not rely on the user opening the app and acknowledging via BillingClient. Free trial eligibility settings apply when a user is upgrading or downgrading. You can adjust the free trial eligibility settings in the Google Play Console. The following table describes the behavior of each proration mode if both the new and old plans have a free trial, and the user is upgrading during a free trial:. The user loses the free trial immediately. The price difference for the remaining period is then charged to the user.

The next billing date remains unchanged. Note: This option is available only for a subscription upgrade, where the price per unit of time increases. To understand how free trial transitions work in the default case of one free trial per app, consider the following scenario:. Maria has a subscription to online content from the Country Gardener app. She currently has a monthly subscription to the Tier 1 version of the content, which is text-only. She is enjoying a day free trial as a first-time subscriber, which means her first payment is due on May 1.

This second subscription has a day trial as well. The following list describes the transition behavior if the developer instead allows one free trial per subscription:. The following table shows diferrent proration scenarios along with what we recommend for each scenario:. After a user has cancelled their subscription, you can try to win them back either in your app, or through the Play store. The following table describes various subscription scenarios along with associated winback actions and app requirements.

For subscriptions that have been canceled but have not yet expired, you can allow subscribers to restore their subscription within your app by applying the same in-app product purchase flow as for new subscribers. Ensure your UI reflects that the user has an existing subscription. For example, you might want to display the user's current expiration date and recurring price with a Reactivate button.

Most of the time, you will want to offer the user the same price and SKU they were already subscribed to, as follows:. If you would like to offer a different price—for example a new free trial or a winback discount—you can instead offer a different SKU to the user:. When you receive the purchase token, process the purchase just as you would with a new subscription. While the subscription is canceled but still active, users can restore the subscription in the Google Play subscriptions center by clicking Resubscribe previously Restore.

This keeps the same subscription and purchase token. You can allow expired subscribers to resubscribe within your app by applying the same in-app product purchase flow as for new subscribers. Note the following:. You will not receive a linkedPurchaseToken in the subscription resource. If enabled, users can resubscribe to the same SKU for up to one year after expiration by clicking Resubscribe in the Google Play subscriptions center.

This generates a new subscription and purchase token. Resubscribing is considered an out-of-app purchase, so be sure to follow best practices for handling purchases made from outside your app.

Using Real-time Developer Notifications, you can detect in real time when a user decides to cancel. When a user cancels, but before their subscription has expired, you can send them push notifications or in-app messages to ask them to resubscribe. For more information, see Winback after churn. You can let your users try out a subscription before making a payment.

Free trials run for a period of time that you specify and convert to full subscriptions automatically once the free trial period ends. These converted subscriptions use the same time period and price as ordinary subscriptions.

You can set up a free trial for any type of subscription. To start a free trial, a user completes the standard process for purchasing a subscription on Google Play. If a user is eligible for a free trial, they aren't charged for the duration of the free trial, and they're notified by email that the subscription includes a free trial period.

Google Play verifies that the user has a valid payment method before starting the free trial. Some users may see this verification as a hold or charge on their payment method.

This hold or charge is temporary and is later reversed or refunded. After the trial period ends, the user's payment method is charged for the full subscription amount. If a user cancels a subscription at any time during the free trial, the subscription remains active until the end of the trial, and they aren't charged when the free trial period ends. By default, users can receive only one free trial or introductory price across all available subscriptions in your app.

If you'd like to allow one free trial or introductory price per subscription product, you can change the corresponding setting in the Google Play Console. To add a free trial to a subscription, see the free trial instructions in the Google Play Help Center. Subscription lifecycle events for a subscription with a free trial work the same way as a subscription without a free trial.

The only difference is that the renewal period might differ from the regular subscription renewal interval. When showing your users products available for sale , you can use the SkuDetails. If the subscription successfully renews, the paymentState switches to 1 payment received. Similar to free trials, your app can offer introductory prices to encourage users to try out your app. To learn more about introductory pricing and how to enable it, see Create a subscription. Subscription lifecycle events for a subscription with introductory pricing work the same way as a subscription without introductory pricing.

When showing your users products available for sale , you can use SkuDetails. You can create promotion codes to give selected users an extended free trial to an existing subscription SKU. To learn more, see Promo codes. This functionality is also available in the Google Play Console. You can advance the next billing date for a subscriber by using Purchases.

During the deferral period, the user is subscribed to your content with full access but is not charged. The subscription renewal date is updated to reflect the new date. Billing can be deferred by as little as one day and by as long as one year per API call. To defer the billing even further, you can call the API again before the new billing date arrives. As an example, Darcy has a monthly subscription to online content for the Fishing Quarterly app.

In March, she participated in an online survey for the app publisher. The publisher rewards her with six free weeks by deferring the next payment until May 15, which is six weeks after her previously scheduled billing date of April 1.

Darcy is not charged for April or the beginning of May and still has access to the content. Her next renewal date is now June When deferring, you might want to notify the user by email or within the app to notify them that their billing date has changed. Warning: You should not change the price of a Subscribe with Google subscription.

Google Play allows you to sell your digital products around the world to many users in different locales with different currencies and pricing considerations. Sometimes, due to regional costs or currency fluctuations, you may decide you need to change the price of your subscription.

If you are willing to keep existing subscribers on the existing price, you can create a new SKU with the updated price and offer that to new subscribers. If you are not able to continue supporting subscribers with the price that was offered when they signed up for your subscription and are willing to cancel all subscriptions for users that decided not to accept the new price, you can enforce a mandatory price change.

If the user does not agree to the new price, their subscription is cancelled.
