Running modes
This section provides an overlook of the running modes available with the Purchasely Platform
Understanding running modes
Purchasely offers two distinct running modes to accommodate different app development needs:
full
mode (default): Purchasely managed the in-app transactionspaywallObserver
mode: the in-app transaction are managed by your existing system (either in-house or using a 3rd party solution such as RevenueCat)
In both modes, the same no-code growth features are available.
By choosing the appropriate running mode, you can tailor Purchasely SDK to fit your application's specific needs.
You can switch between these modes at any time by updating the parameter runningMode
passed to Purchasely.start()
during the SDK initialization process with the values full
or paywallObserver
