Available Purchases

This guide demonstrates how to list and restore previously purchased items (non‑consumables and active subscriptions) using getAvailablePurchases() and getActiveSubscriptions().

The complete working example can be found at example/screens/AvailablePurchases.tsx. Note that the example code was heavily vibe-coded with Claude and is quite verbose/messy for demonstration purposes - use it as a reference only. :::

Restore Flow

• Ensure the store connection is active (handled by useIAP)
• Call both getAvailablePurchases() and getActiveSubscriptions()
• Validate on your server and grant entitlements

import React from 'react';
import {Alert} from 'react-native';
import {useIAP} from 'react-native-iap';

export default function AvailablePurchasesScreen() {
  const {
    connected,
    getAvailablePurchases,
    getActiveSubscriptions,
    activeSubscriptions,
    finishTransaction,
  } = useIAP();

  const restore = async () => {
    if (!connected) return;
    const [purchases] = await Promise.all([
      getAvailablePurchases(),
      getActiveSubscriptions(),
    ]);

    for (const p of purchases) {
      // TODO: validate on your backend first
      // await grantEntitlement(p)
      // Non-consumables and subscriptions typically don't require consumption
      await finishTransaction({purchase: p, isConsumable: false});
    }

    Alert.alert('Restored', `Restored ${purchases.length} purchases`);
  };

  return null; // Render your UI and call restore() from a button
}

Showing Active Subscriptions

The hook exposes activeSubscriptions, which you can render directly after calling getActiveSubscriptions():

import {useIAP} from 'react-native-iap';

function ActiveSubscriptionsList() {
  const {activeSubscriptions, getActiveSubscriptions} = useIAP();

  useEffect(() => {
    getActiveSubscriptions();
  }, [getActiveSubscriptions]);

  return (
    <View>
      {activeSubscriptions.map((s) => (
        <Text key={s.productId}>{s.productId}</Text>
      ))}
    </View>
  );
}

Tips

• Only non‑consumables and subscriptions are returned; consumables are not restorable
• Always perform server‑side validation before granting access
• On iOS, you can optionally filter for active items using onlyIncludeActiveItemsIOS
• Android tip: If users redeem a promo code in Google Play, open https://play.google.com/redeem with Linking.openURL(...) and then refresh with getAvailablePurchases() and getActiveSubscriptions()
