Google Play Store Integration - Reviews, Updates & Billing

Play Store Integration

Codular gives you full Play Store integration - accept payments, manage subscriptions, prompt reviews, and handle updates.

In-App Reviews

Ask users to rate your app without leaving:

• Drag Play Store Review component onto your screen
• Set Min Launches (e.g. 5) - only show after 5 app opens
• Set Min Days (e.g. 3) - only show after 3 days
• Or use the Request Review flow node to trigger manually

Tip: Don't show the review prompt too early - wait until users have experienced your app.

In-App Updates

Keep users on the latest version:

• Drag Play Store Update component
• Choose update mode:

- Flexible - user can skip the update

- Immediate - forces update before using the app

• Enable Check on Screen Load for automatic checking
• Or use the Check for Update flow node

Google Play Billing

Sell digital products and subscriptions:

One-Time Purchases

• Create product in Google Play Console
• Drag Google Play Billing component
• Set Product ID and Purchase Type = "One-Time"
• Connect onPurchaseSuccess to a flow

Subscriptions

• Create subscription in Play Console with base plans
• Drag Play Store Subscription component
• Set Subscription ID and Plan ID
• Connect events:

- onSubscribed - grant premium access

- onSubscriptionExpired - revoke access

Managing Subscriptions

Use flow nodes:

• Check Subscription - returns "active", "expired", or "none"
• Cancel Subscription - opens Play Store subscription management

Flow Node Examples

Check subscription on app launch:

Event (Screen.onLoad) → Check Subscription ("premium_monthly") → If/Else (status = "active") → [true] Set Variable (isPremium = true) → [false] Navigate to Upgrade Screen

Purchase with verification:

Event (Buy.onPress) → Purchase Product ("remove_ads") → [success] Verify Payment (server URL) → Set Variable (adFree = true) → Show Toast ("Purchase successful!")
