  • For subscriptions, an initial purchase creates a purchase token and an Order ID. For each continuous billing period, the purchase token stays the same, and a new Order ID is issued. Upgrades, downgrades, replacements, and re-sign-ups all create new purchase tokens and Order IDs.

Subscriptions automatically renew until they are canceled. A subscription can go through the following states:

  • Active: User is in good standing and has access to the subscription.
  • Cancelled: User has cancelled but still has access until expiration.
  • In grace period: User experienced a payment issue, but still has access while Google is retrying the payment method.
  • On hold: User experienced a payment issue, and no longer has access while Google is retrying the payment method.
  • Paused: User paused their access, and does not have access until they resume.
  • Expired: User has cancelled and lost access to the subscription. The user is considered churned at expiration.
