Now, you will need to add a base plan for your subscription to function.

Once you have completed all these steps, click Save.

HomaBelly Configurations

Make sure to select SUBSCRIPTION as the Product Type.

Everything is set up on the Purchase Catalog. Now you can easily access your products with HomaBelly.

Important Note:

Since you are now using base plans you have to identify the base plan you are using inside your code.

For example:

ProductId: symbiote.vip.subscription.monthly

BasePlan Id: monthvip

So in order to make a purchase your code should be like the following:

HomaStore.PurchaseProduct("symbiote.vip.subscription.monthly:monthvip");

Note that you have to use ":" between subscriptionId and BasePlanId.

Google's introduction of Base plans for subscriptions has necessitated some changes in how subscriptions are managed with Homa Belly Purchases. Although Homa Belly Purchases does not currently support using multiple base plans, it can accommodate one base plan per subscription.
