Entitlement Events are generated by the Purchasely Platform when premium accesses are created/modified/removed (because of a purchase, renewal, refund, payment issue, ...).
There are 2 different Entitlements Events:
Transaction Event
Used to
Triggered when
ACTIVATE
Activate the user’s entitlements
a new subscription starts
a subscription is renewed
an In-App Purchase (consumable / non consumable) is purchased
a subscription or a non consumable is "stolen" from another user, following a restore or sign-in/sign-up
a subscription starts because of a plan change (following an up-selling, down-selling or cross-selling)
a subscription enters in grace period
a subscription is resumed after being paused (Google Play Store only)
a subscription is resumed after a billing retry or a grace period
a refund has been asked by the user via Apple Care but the developer refuses it from the App Store Connect Console (tricky one we know 😅...)
DEACTIVATE
Deactivate the user’s entitlements
a subscription is effectively terminated
a subscription enters in billing retry
a subscription or an In-App Purchase has been refunded
a subscription or a non consumable has been transferred to another user, following a restore or sign-in/sign-up
a subscription ends because of a plan change (following an up-selling, down-selling or cross-selling)
a subscription is being paused (Google Play Store only)
They are both composed of a JSON payload which includes all the relevant data to manage entitlements (more details on their attributes).
