I have a few auto-renewing subscriptions I wish to increase the price of without affecting existing subscribers. As in, I wanted existing subscribers to continue renewing at their current price, and new subscribers to be shown the new prices. Example subscription I want to change
However I'm a bit unclear on google's documentation about subscription price increases https://developer.android.com/google/play/billing/subscriptions#price-change
It states Users currently subscribed to auto-renewing plans are not affected by default. Instead, a legacy price cohort is created... This makes me think that all is good for my case since I think these are auto-renewing subscriptions. But then it goes on to describe in detail how existing customers will be notified and will be presented with the price change, which is confusing
I started digging around and found these posts, all of which state that existing customers will be charged the new price.
Google Play: Keep old subscription price for current subscriptions?
Change price of subscription product in android app
Android Billing: changing the price of a subscription
Some therefore recommend to create a new subscription item for new users and keep the existing subscription unchanged for existing users in order to get the effect I wish above
So which is it? If I change the price of my auto-renewing subscription, will my existing customers remain on the previous price, or will they be notified and presented with the choice of ending the subscription?
Thanks!
