Create and manage subscriptions

In May 2022, we introduced changes in the way subscription products are defined and managed in Play Console. If you have existing subscriptions and want to know how these changes affect them, see Recent changes to subscriptions in Play Console.

This page explains how to create and manage subscriptions in Play Console. We recommend that you read this article to familiarize yourself with the subscription concepts, objects, and functionality before continuing.

When using Play Console, you need to separately configure and manage subscriptions, base plans, and offers in that order.

Availability

If you're in a supported location for merchant registration, you can use Google Play's billing system.

If you’re in a supported location and want to start using Google Play's billing system features in your apps, set up a payments profile and review the Google Play billing system API documentation.

Create and manage subscriptions

Click on a section below to expand or collapse it.

Create a new subscription

Before creating a subscription, make sure to plan your product IDs carefully. Product IDs must be unique for your app, and they can’t be changed or reused after they’ve been created.

  • Product IDs must start with a number or lowercase letter, can also contain underscores (_), periods (.), and can have a maximum of 40 characters.
  • Note: The product ID android.test is unavailable for use, along with all product IDs that start with android.test.

Understand your responsibilities

Before creating a subscription, review our Subscriptions policy. It’s critical that you fully understand this policy and adhere to it. You must be transparent with users about your offer. This includes being explicit about your offer terms, the cost of your subscription, the frequency of your billing cycle, and whether a subscription is required to use the app. Users should not have to perform any additional action to review the information.

In addition, apps with subscription services or content must have a clear UI/UX to ensure that users can easily find and choose a selected option. For example, if you sell subscriptions in your app(s), you must ensure that your app(s) clearly disclose how a user can manage or cancel their subscription. You must also include in your app(s) access to an easy-to-use, online method to cancel the subscription.

To create a subscription:

  1. Open Play Console and go to the Subscriptions page (Monetize with Play > Products > Subscriptions).
  2. Click Create subscription.
  3. Enter your subscription details.
    • Product ID: The product ID must start with a number or lowercase letter, can also contain underscores (_), periods (.), and can have up to 40 characters.
    • Name: A short name for your subscription of up to 55 characters. Users will see this in emails and the subscription center.
      • You, as a developer, must be transparent about any subscription services or content you offer within your app.
      • Your subscription name must accurately reflect your offer. For example, don’t name your subscription "Free Trial."
  4. Click Create.
  5. Click Edit subscription details to view and edit the "Subscription details" page. You have the option to add more information here.
  6. Next to "Benefits," click + Add benefit and enter a description of a feature of your subscription. You can add up to 4 benefits (up to 40 characters each).
    • Benefits should highlight the features to give users a better idea of what your subscription offers, like "Full catalog of TV shows and movies."
    • Since not all users will be eligible for a promotional price or free trial, the benefit should not mention free trial or price, for example, "Try 7 days free" is not allowed.
  7. Next to "Description," enter an optional description for your subscription. This is for your own internal use; it is not shown to users on Google Play.
  8. You may need to provide information about the product that you’re distributing for consumer law or tax purposes. If so, scroll to the "Tax and compliance" section and click Manage settings. Learn more about tax and compliance settings.
  9. Click Save changes.

For the subscription to be available to Google Play users, you need to create and activate at least one base plan. Note that once you create a base plan, you can no longer delete the subscription. Instead, you need to archive the subscription once you stop selling it.

  10. At the top right of the "Price and availability" section, click Manage country/region availability. To select the locations your base plan will be available:
    • Users can only purchase your subscriptions in the regions where your base plan is available. The user's Google Play country is used to determine which base plans are available to them.

Learn more about offering apps in multiple currencies.
    • If you choose a base plan type that's only available to users in certain countries/regions, such as an installments base plan, then only those countries/regions are selectable.

Ending legacy price cohorts

For auto-renewing base plans, you can decide to end a legacy price cohort and move those users to the current base plan price. Before doing so, it is important to review and fully understand Changing base plan and offer prices.

End a legacy price cohort

To end a legacy price cohort:

  1. Open Play Console and go to the Subscriptions page (Monetize > Products > Subscriptions).
  2. Next to the relevant subscription, click the right arrow to view the subscription details.
  3. Under "Base plans and offers," click the three dot icon next to the base plan containing the legacy price cohort you wish to end, and select View legacy price points.
    • Note: If you don't have the option to select View legacy price points, that means you don't have any legacy price cohorts remaining. Once you start a migration, the associated legacy price cohorts will no longer appear in Play Console (even if that migration is not yet complete).
  4. Select the starting date of the cohort you want to end.
  • Important: Ending a cohort also ends any previous cohorts for the same base plan and countries/regions. Since each cohort may have a different price, it may be a different type of price change (opt-out increase, opt-in increase, or decrease).
  1. Select the countries/regions where you want to end the cohort.
  • Important: If any cohorts with a price increase do not meet the region, frequency, or amount criteria described above, you will see warning icons indicating that the increase will be opt-in. You can see the reasons by hovering over these icons. You can proceed with these opt-in increases, or leave these cohorts at their current price by deselecting the country/region or choosing a different starting date.
  1. Click Review migration to proceed.
  2. Review the number of countries/regions and information about price changes. If one or more cohorts are eligible for an opt-out price increase, and you want opt-out increases whenever possible, you must review the requirements and certify they are met by selecting the associated option. Note even if the option for opt-out is selected, cohorts that are ineligible for opt-out increases will automatically receive opt-in increases.
  • If these requirements are not met, or you do not want opt-out increases, select Always use opt-in price increases. If you do not want opt-out increases in specific regions, perform a separate migration that contains only those regions.
  1. Click Start migration.
    • Reminder: Once you start a migration, the associated legacy price cohorts will no longer appear in Play Console (even if that migration is not yet complete).

Enable or disable subscription pause

By enabling pause in your subscription settings, users can pause their subscription instead of canceling. Note the following:

  • Subscription pause is not available for free trial or annual subscriptions.
  • Subscription pause cannot be enabled for subscriptions with recurring periods longer than three months.
  • Subscription pause limits of one week and three months are subject to change at any time.

Learn more about subscription pauses and pause implementation requirements on the Android Developers site.

To enable or disable subscription pause:

  1. Open Play Console and go to the Monetization setup page (Monetize > Monetization setup).
  2. In the "Subscription settings" section, choose Create or Disable next to "Pause."
  3. Click Save Changes.
