Welcome to AppActor
AppActor is an in-app purchase infrastructure for mobile apps. It handles receipt validation, subscription lifecycle management, entitlement tracking, and analytics โ so you can focus on building your app.
What is AppActor?โ
AppActor provides a complete backend and SDK for managing in-app purchases:
- Receipt Validation โ Server-side Apple and Google receipt verification
- Entitlements โ Map products to features and track subscription state
- Offerings โ Server-controlled product configurations
- User Identity โ Cross-device user management with anonymous and identified users
- Webhooks โ Real-time subscription event notifications
- Remote Config โ Server-driven feature flags with targeting rules
- Experiments โ A/B testing with automatic variant assignment
- Apple Search Ads โ Built-in attribution tracking
How It Worksโ
- Your app uses the AppActor SDK to handle purchases, fetch offerings, and check entitlements
- The SDK sends receipts to the AppActor backend for server-side validation
- The backend communicates with Apple/Google, manages subscription lifecycle, and sends webhooks to your server
Two Operating Modesโ
The iOS SDK supports two modes depending on your needs:
Payment Mode (Recommended)โ
Server-authoritative mode with full backend features. Receipts are validated server-side, entitlements are managed centrally, and you get access to webhooks, remote config, and experiments.
AppActor.configure(apiKey: "pk_live_abc123")
Local Modeโ
Fully client-side mode with no backend required. Uses StoreKit 2 for on-device receipt validation. Good for simple apps that don't need server-side features.
AppActor.configure(
projectKey: "myapp",
offerings: { /* ... */ },
entitlements: { /* ... */ }
)
