Questions
Can I publish to Google Play with subscriptions handled entirely via my existing Stripe web flow
Hi Median team,
I'm preparing to launch my Android app (built with Median) on Google Play and have a question about licensing and billing before I proceed.
My app is a web app wrapped with Median. I currently have Stripe subscription billing set up on my web app, and this payment flow works correctly within the Median Android app via the webview. I've also integrated several other services which are all functioning in my current closed test build.
I've read in your publishing FAQ that "for Android apps, you may continue to use your web-based payments flow in your apps without any issues" — which suggests I don't need the native IAP plugin for my use case.
My questions:
- Can I publish to Google Play with subscriptions handled entirely via my existing Stripe web flow, without adding the native IAP plugin?
- Is the Starter licence sufficient to do this, or is there an additional licence/plugin required beyond that?
- Will Google Play approve an app that handles subscription billing this way, or is there anything Median-side I need to configure to ensure compliance?
I want to make sure I have the right setup before submitting for production review. Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks
