## AI overview

It also outlines server-side subscription management, receipt validation, and event tracking using Apple and Google web services.

## Source excerpt

__ This is the third post in a three-part series on In-App purchase. Please check out Part I: Introduction to In-App Purchase and Part 2: Implementing Non-Renewable Subscriptions. Auto-renewable subscriptions provide, arguably, an easier path to recurring revenue than non-renewable subscriptions because all of the subscription stuff is handled by the app store. You defer almost entirely to the app store (iTunes for iOS, and Play for Android) for billing and management.
