Hi, I am trying to test one time purchase offers for Android. On getting the products, I do get the offer details, but the requestPurchase for 'in-app' purchases does not support anything for the offerToken. How do I buy one time products with offers? My react-native-iap version is latest

Description
I'm trying to test one-time purchase offers for Android. While I can retrieve the product details and offer information, the requestPurchase() method for in-app purchases doesn't appear to support the offerToken parameter needed to purchase one-time products with offers.

Current Behavior

• Products are retrieved successfully with offer details
• The requestPurchase() method does not accept an offerToken parameter
• Unable to complete one-time purchases with offers on Android

Expected Behavior

• The requestPurchase() method should support passing an offerToken parameter to enable purchasing one-time products with offers

Environment

• Platform: Android
• react-native-iap version: latest

Additional Context
Please provide details on:

• How to pass the offerToken to requestPurchase() for one-time product purchases
• Whether this feature is currently supported or if it's a limitation in the library

Note

Correction: This information is outdated. The feature has been implemented in PR #3129 and will be available in v14.7.4.

You can now pass offerToken to requestPurchase for one-time purchases:

await requestPurchase({
  request: {
    google: {
      skus: ['premium_unlock'],
      offerToken: discountOffer?.offerTokenAndroid,
    },
  },
  type: 'in-app',
});

Original comment (outdated)

Based on the repository analysis, React Native IAP does not currently support passing offerToken for one-time in-app purchases in requestPurchase(). Here's the situation:

Current Limitation

The requestPurchase function on Android only supports offerToken for subscriptions through the subscriptionOffers parameter, not for one-time purchases.

For subscriptions (works):

requestPurchase({
  request: {
    google: {
      skus: ['subscription_id'],
      subscriptionOffers: [{
        sku: 'subscription_id',
        offerToken: 'offer_token_here'
      }]
    }
  },
  type: 'subs'
});

For one-time purchases (no offerToken support):

requestPurchase({
  request: {
    google: {
      skus: ['product_id'],
      // No offerToken parameter available for in-app type
    }
  },
  type: 'in-app'
});

Potential Solutions

1. Feature Request: Open an issue requesting this feature - the library would need to modify the native Android implementation to pass offerToken for INAPP products

2. Bridge to Native Module: Create a custom native module that calls Google Play Billing directly with the offer token

3. Patch React Native IAP: Fork the library and modify the Android native code to support offerToken for in-app purchases

Would you like me to help draft a feature request or explore any of these solutions further?

This feature has been implemented in PR #3129 and is now available in v14.7.4 (already released).

How to use offerToken for one-time purchases (Android 7.0+)

// 1. Fetch products - discountOffers will contain available offers
const {products, fetchProducts} = useIAP();
await fetchProducts({skus: ['premium_unlock'], type: 'in-app'});

// 2. Get the discount offer from the product
const product = products.find(p => p.id === 'premium_unlock');
const discountOffer = product?.discountOffers?.[0];

// 3. Pass offerToken to requestPurchase
await requestPurchase({
  request: {
    google: {
      skus: ['premium_unlock'],
      offerToken: discountOffer?.offerTokenAndroid,  // Apply discount
    },
  },
  type: 'in-app',
});

Key points:

• Use product.discountOffers to get available discount offers for one-time purchases
• Pass offerTokenAndroid from the discount offer to requestPurchase
• This is different from subscription offers which use subscriptionOffers array

Please update to v14.7.4 to use this feature.
