Create App Store subscription groups and subscriptions, and set their prices, without leaving Fictura.

Products is where you set up the subscriptions people can buy inside your iPhone app. It talks to Apple through App Store Connect. What you see is read live from Apple each time the page loads.
This page covers the App Store only.
Before you start
Products needs App Store Connect connected. If it is not, the page shows the connect form right here. Make the key in App Store Connect → Users and Access → Integrations, with App Manager access, so it can create products. The full steps are in App Store Connect.
Once connected, a bar at the top says CONNECTED with the key and the app. manage connection opens Setup → Connections.
Subscription groups
A group holds products that are upgrades or downgrades of the same thing, like a monthly and a yearly plan.
To make one, type a name next to New subscription group and press Create group.
Each group is its own card. It lists its products in a table:
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Name | The internal name. |
| Product ID | The ID your app uses to buy it. |
| Period | Weekly, Monthly, 2 months, Quarterly, 6 months or Yearly. |
| Apple state | Where Apple's review stands. Green is approved. Blue is in review. Red means Apple rejected it or needs something from you. Amber is anything else, like a draft. |
| Price | The Set price button. |
Add a product
Press + Add product under a group. Fill in:
- Product ID (permanent). You can never change it after, and it must be unique across your account.
- Reference name (internal). Only you see it.
- Display name (customers see this).
- Billing period.
- Description (optional).
- Review note (optional). A note for Apple's reviewer.
Press Create product. The product lands in Apple's draft state.
Set a price
Apple ties prices to a product that already exists, so you set the price after you create it.
Press Set price on the row. Pick a price from Apple's own list. Each choice shows what the customer pays and what you get. Press Set.
What has to happen before customers can buy it
The card at the bottom of the page lists the full chain:
- Create the product. Done here.
- Set a price. Done here, with Set price.
- Submit for review in App Store Connect. Apple needs a person to do this. Fictura cannot do it for you. The product cannot be sold until Apple approves it.
- Map it to a RevenueCat offering. This is manual for now. In RevenueCat, import the product from App Store Connect, then add it to an Offering as a Package. Your paywall points at the offering, so nothing shows in the app until this is done.
- It appears in your paywalls. The SDK reads the packages from the offering, so prices always come live from the store.
If Apple says no
When Apple turns down a request, the page shows Apple's message in red at the top. Check that the key still works and has App Manager access.
