This guide will walk you through the process of setting up Google subscription plans for purchase in your Android app.
1. Create a subscription
Sign into the Google Play Console and select your app.
In the left side menu scroll down to “Monetize” and click “Subscriptions” (under “Products”).
Click “Create subscription” and fill out the form.

Click “Create”.
2. Create a base plan
🚧 Do not create more than one base plan per subscription. If you want to sell multiple plans create a new subscription and base plan for each one.
With your subscription selected, click “Add base plan” and fill out the form.

Billing period: Choose “Monthly” or any longer period. Weekly subscriptions are not supported.
Price and availability: Click “Set prices”, and select the countries and regions where your app should be available. We recommend selecting all if you’re not sure. Click “Set price”, enter your price, and click “Update”.
Click “Save”.
Click “Activate”.
3. Import your plan in the admin dashboard
Click "Play Store" in the "Subscription plans" card in the Monetization tab in your admin dashboard and use the import dropdown in the top right of the card to import the plan you just created. The newly imported plan won't be available in the app until you click the row for the plan and use the "Visibility" card to mark it as published. You'll also need to use the "Offerings" card to associate the plan with an offering to make it available in the app.
