How Google In-App Billing + Enveu works

Google In-App Billing + Enveu work together to enable secure subscription purchases on Android apps, with Google handling payments and Enveu managing access, entitlements, and business logic. 

Flow overview 

1. User purchases a subscription 

The user selects a plan inside the Android app powered by Enveu. The payment is completed using Google Play In-App Billing. 

2. Google confirms the transaction 

Google Play processes the payment and returns a purchase token to the app. 

3. Enveu verifies the purchase 

The app sends the purchase token to Enveu’s backend, where Enveu validates it with Google Play to ensure authenticity. 

4. Subscription & access activated 

Once verified, Enveu updates the user’s subscription status, entitlement, and access rules across the platform. 

5. Ongoing lifecycle management 

Enveu listens to Google Play server notifications for renewals, cancellations, expiries, upgrades, and refunds, keeping user access in sync automatically.
