Why Import Products?

In the previous step, you created products directly in App Store Connect. However, RevenueCat needs to know about those products so it can manage purchases, validate receipts, and track subscriptions on your behalf. Importing products into RevenueCat bridges the gap between your store configuration and RevenueCat's platform.

Once imported, RevenueCat can:

• Validate purchases: Verify that transactions are legitimate by communicating with the App Store.
• Track subscription status: Monitor renewals, expirations, and cancellations automatically.
• Provide unified analytics: Give you a single dashboard view of revenue, subscribers, and product performance.
• Power Entitlements and Offerings: Link products to entitlements and group them into offerings for your paywalls.

How to Import

Go to the RevenueCat dashboard, navigate to your project, and open the Products tab under Product Catalog.

Click the + New button in the top right corner, then select Import Products from the dropdown menu. RevenueCat will automatically fetch and display a list of available in-app products from your connected store accounts (such as the App Store or Google Play).

Once your products have been imported, you'll see that the in-app purchase items have been successfully added to your RevenueCat project. These imported products are now ready to be attached to Entitlements and grouped into Offerings in the next steps.
