@rosemary21 has applied to work on this issue as part of the Stellar Wave Program's 2nd wave.

I’m very interested in working on the in-app purchases and subscription management implementation because mobile monetization is both technically nuanced and business-critical. Proper integration with the App Store and Google Play requires careful handling of native SDKs, receipt validation, subscription lifecycle events, and restore logic — all while maintaining a seamless user experience.
This issue is especially compelling because it combines frontend architecture, secure backend validation, and platform-specific payment flows. Subscription systems are often the backbone of mobile revenue, so reliability, correctness, and edge-case handling (renewals, cancellations, failed payments, upgrades/downgrades) are essential. I enjoy building payment systems that are not only functional but resilient and secure.

I’m also motivated by creating a polished user experience — including restore purchases, subscription management flows, and a clear payment history interface. These features directly impact user trust and retention, and implementing them correctly reduces support overhead and improves monetization performance.
Overall, this issue combines secure payments, mobile platform integration, subscription lifecycle management, and UI implementation — all high-impact areas that I’m excited to contribute to.
