Asynchronous paywalls

Pre-fetch and customize paywalls display

The feature described in this section is supported on the following versions and above:

• iOS: 3.5.0

• Android: 3.5.0

• ReactNative: 2.5.0

• Cordova: 2.5.0

• Flutter: 1.5.0

Purchasely, by default, shows the paywall screen with a loading indicator while fetching the paywall from the network and preparing it for display.

Using Purchasely.fetchPresentation() method, you can pre-fetch the paywall from the network before displaying it. This provides the following benefits:

• Display the paywall only after it has been loaded from the network

• Handle network errors gracefully

• Show a custom loading screen

• Pre-load the paywall while users navigate through your app, such as during onboarding screens

• Choose not to display a paywall for a specific placement

• Display your own paywall

Implementation

Call Purchasely.fetchPresentation for a placement or with a presentation id

1. An error may be returned if the presentation could not be fetched from the network.

2. If successful, you will have a PLYPresentation instance containing the following properties

class PLYPresentation(
    id: String?
    placementId: String?
    audienceId: String?
    abTestId: String?
    abTestVariantId: String?
    language: String?
    type: PLYPresentationType
    plans: [String] // get PLYPlan instance with Purchasely.plan("planId")

    // Android SDK only (Kotlin or Java)
    view: PLYTemplateView?
    
    // iOS SDK only (Swift or Objective-C)
    controller: UIViewController?
}

A presentation can be one of the following types:

• Normal: The default behavior, a Purchasely paywall created from our console.

• Fallback: A Purchasely paywall, but not the one you requested, as it could not be found.

• Deactivated: No paywall associated with that placement, possibly for a specific A/B test or audience.
• Client: You declared your own paywall in our console and should display it. Use the list of plans to determine which offers to display to your users.

Swift

// fetch presentation with id
Purchasely.fetchPresentation(with: "presentationId", fetchCompletion: { presentation, error in
})

// fetch presentation for placement
Purchasely.fetchPresentation(for: "onboarding", fetchCompletion: { presentation, error in
    guard let presentation = presentation, error == nil else {
        print("Error while fetching presentation: \(error?.localizedDescription ?? "unknown")")
        return
    }
    
    if presentation.type == .normal || presentation.type == .fallback {
        let paywallController = presentation.controller
        
        // display paywall controller.
        
    } else if presentation.type == .deactivated {
        
        // nothing to display
        
    } else if presentation.type == .client {
        let presentationId = presentation.id
        let planIds = presentation.plans
        
        // display your own paywall
        
    }
})

Objective-C

[Purchasely fetchPresentationFor:@"onboarding" fetchCompletion:^(PLYPresentation * _Nullable presentation, NSError * _Nullable error) {
        if (error != nil) {
            NSLog(@"Error while fetching presentation: %@", error.localizedDescription);
            return;
        }
        
        if (presentation.type == PLYPresentationTypeNormal || presentation.type == PLYPresentationTypeFallback) {
            PLYPresentationViewController *paywallController = presentation.controller;
            
            // display paywall controller.
            
        } else if (presentation.type == PLYPresentationTypeDeactivated) {
            
            // nothing to display
            
        } else if (presentation.type == PLYPresentationTypeClient) {
            NSString *presentationId = presentation.id;
            NSArray<NSString *> *plans = presentation.plans;
            
            //display your own paywall
            
        }
    } completion:nil];
