What is Recurly app management?
App management enables you to centralize your customer, subscription, and payment data from app stores (Apple App Store and Google Play) using the Recurly platform as a single source of truth.
Why should I consider using app management?
With app management, you can grow subscription revenue and enhance subscriber experience with a holistic cross-platform view of insights and opportunities. Further, you can gain efficiencies by developing cross-platform subscription workflows without the need to build and maintain app store data integrations.
How does app management differ from Mobile SDKs?
Our existing mobile SDK allows you to create subscriptions and collect payments through your Recurly payment/gateway rails directly within your mobile app experience. However, Apple App Store or Google Play do not generally allow this within their terms of service. If you need to create subscriptions or process payments through Apple/Google rails, the app management connector allows you to sync subscriptions and subscription data from Apple/Google to Recurly. For Apple, the connector requires another type of SDK to enable the syncing.
What are the costs of using app management?
The cost to use Recurly app management is a fixed annual platform fee and variable usage fee based on gross app store revenue.
Where can I find more information about Recurly app management?
You can find more information in the product documentation page, or by contacting Recurly.
