Hello, In our B2C app our business customers need to offer one or more premium content channels customers can subscribe to. Each with a monthly and a yearly payment option. Having to create a unique subscription group specific to every possible premium content channel is simply not feasible and unmaintainable. I recognize we can't programmatically add subscription groups/subscriptions, so I am trying to instead use generic subscription groups/subscriptions to represent the possible price points and then mapping transactions to the relevant content channel(s) on the backend. We presently have 7 levels of premium content pricing options available for businesses to offer, each with a monthly and a yearly pricing option. I was encouraged to see a response from an App Store Commerce Engineer to a very similar question where it was suggested that we can use generic subscription groups and subscriptions as a generic price point mechanism and not have to have a subscription group for each individual channel for each individual business (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/698168). As such, creating 7 subscription groups, each with a monthly and a yearly subscription option is an acceptable solution and tests fine in the sandbox but I am concerned that once we roll to production it will not work because of not allowing a user to subscribe to multiple subscriptions in the same group, perhaps even at the same monthly option or whatever and will say 'You are already subscribed' or similar. So for example, let's say business A wants to offer two separate premium content channels, each at the L1 subscription level. Even if we are mapping it on the backend on our own, I suspect that the app store will reject the 2nd subscription request by the customer as they have already subscribed to a subscription in that group. Same if business A offers one L2 subscription channel of premium content and then business B also wants to offer subscriptions to their different premium channel content as an L2 subscription, the user could only sub to one or the other, not both because technically in the same sub-group and same subscription IAP. So where the App Store Commerce Engineer in the other post said, "Or you can create generic groups that dynamically represent the business a customer subscribes to. So this requires mapping the purchase Original_transaction_ID to your business identifier - and our product_ID is effectively a generic price point to represent pricing offerings your businesses choose from." as much as I want this to work, I'm not confident at all that it will given what I am reading on subscription group restrictions. Looking for confirmation advice here. Thanks so much for any help. BTW I did try to respond to the original question at the link above but appears to be locked. Thank you again for your time and consideration.
