Migrate to Google Play Billing
summary
Google Play Billing v5 replaces SKUs with product details and adds multi-plan subscriptions: a single subscription can have multiple base plans and unlimited offers, selectable by offer token at purchase. Offers support country targeting, prepaid subscriptions (non‑renewing), and percent or absolute intro discounts. Each plan/offer can carry up to 20 tags (inherited) for targeting, but the Play API does not report which offer a user bought, so back ends must receive pricing phases from the app. V4 remains compatible but only exposes one legacy plan/offer; full v5 enforcement arrives in 2023.
