What's New in October 2026: Teleport Checkout, the Superwall Framework for Everyone, Customer Center, and Google Ads Attribution

Teleport: a checkout page you design, not a generic one

Teleport sends a user from your iOS paywall to a page of that same paywall running in their browser. They pay with Apple Pay or a card, tap Return to App, and land back in your app with access unlocked. App2Web opens Stripe Checkout. Teleport opens the Checkout Page you design in the paywall editor, so the browser step keeps your paywall's look, copy, and products.

Superwall prepares the checkout page in the background while the paywall is open, so it usually loads without a wait. When the user comes back, the paywall runs the purchase button's after-purchase actions just like an App Store purchase: thank-you pages, state changes, and closing all work. iOS SDK 4.18.0 adds the return links and the teleport_open and teleport_return events that make this work. Add applinks:<subdomain>.superwall.link to your associated domains to skip the Open in App alert.

Teleport requires iOS SDK 4.18.0+ and is turned on per app. The options appear once a paywall has a Stripe product. Web checkout is now documented for every SDK.

The Superwall Framework: now open to every app

We introduced the Superwall Framework in September as a private beta. As of October, the access gate is gone: pushing code-first paywalls is enabled for every app. All you need is the CLI's next channel (SUPERWALL_CHANNEL=next). The Framework is still in beta, so commands, config keys, and hooks can still change between releases.

If you missed it: the Framework lets you build paywalls, onboarding funnels, and web checkout flows as React code in your own repo, reviewed and versioned like the rest of your app. Everything after the build is unchanged. Paywalls still ship through the native SDKs, still show through placements and campaigns, and are still experimented on from the dashboard, with no app release needed.

October made it ready for teams:

• Build with an AI agent, no code required. A new guide walks growth, marketing, and design teams through describing a paywall in plain English and letting an agent like Claude, Codex, or Cursor build it, preview it in the studio, and ship it. The only command you type is the one that logs you in.
• Safe for teams and CI. Pushes merge onto your teammates' published work instead of overwriting it, using the sync point kept in superwall.lock. A version is never promoted until its source has landed, and credential files never leave your machine.
• Every version previewable in the dashboard. Opening a code-first paywall in the dashboard opens the hosted studio on the live version, with every pushed version one switch away.
• Teleport and Stripe in code. Set teleport: true in config.ts to hand a flow off to the browser for Stripe checkout and bring the user back with access, the same Teleport described above.
• CLI and MCP 2.0. The new CLI adds App Store Connect commands for subscriptions, offers, and releases. The Superwall MCP now exposes 207 tools generated directly from the CLI, so agents get the same commands you do.

Customer Center: self-service subscription management, built in

The Customer Center is a ready-made screen where users can see what they've bought, restore purchases, change or cancel a subscription, request a refund, manage a web subscription, and contact your support team. You don't have to build it yourself, and you don't have to send users digging through Settings.

Present it with one call — Superwall.shared.presentCustomerCenter() on iOS, Superwall.instance.presentCustomerCenter() on Android, or presentCustomerCenter() from useSuperwall() on Expo. SwiftUI and UIKit apps can embed CustomerCenterView or CustomerCenterViewController instead. Configure the defaults with SuperwallOptions.customerCenter.

New CustomerCenterDelegate callbacks and events — customerCenter_open, customerCenter_close, customerCenter_action, customerCenter_surveyResponse, and customerCenter_refundRequest — tell you when users open it, what they pick, how they answer the cancellation survey, and when they ask for a refund, so you can see why people are leaving.

Available in iOS SDK 4.18.0, Android SDK 2.8.5, and Expo 1.6.0.

Performance marketing: Google Ads, Android install matching, and ad consent

Google Ads is now a Superwall MMP network alongside Meta. Superwall generates the tracking templates for your campaigns, attributes installs to the campaign, ad group, and ad that drove them, and uploads conversions back to Google Ads so Smart Bidding can optimize on real trials and subscriptions. Google Ads is in beta: if its card under Integrations → Performance marketing says Coming soon, click Request access.

Android SDK 2.9.0 brings install attribution matching to Android. It works with both Meta Ads and Google Ads. Matched installs get the same acquisition_* user attributes as on iOS, so you can break down charts by campaign or target audiences by the ad a user came from. It uses the Play install referrer's click ID when there is one, runs once per install within 7 days, and never blocks startup.

All the native SDKs now have an ad consent API: SuperwallOptions.adConsent (adUserData and adPersonalization). Superwall forwards the values with the conversions it uploads to Google Ads and Meta. If you never set it, the SDK uses the answer stored by an IAB TCF consent banner when GDPR applies. Apps with users in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland that don't use a TCF banner should set it from their own consent flow.

Also new for attribution: an Airbridge integration (with an airbridgeId integration attribute in iOS 4.18.2 and Android 2.8.8), and Apple Search Ads in Advanced mode now imports daily campaign spend into the Ad Spend, ROAS, CPT, and CPP charts.

The new dashboard is now the default

Since mid-October, dashboard links, login, signup, and onboarding all open the new dashboard at app.superwall.com. You can still open the old one from the switch-back option while it's being retired. Three features are only in the new dashboard:

• Chart annotations. Mark releases, App Store features, sales, and outages on your app's timeline. A point annotation draws a dashed line and a range draws a shaded band. Annotations appear on every time-series chart, Overview pins, and campaign results, so you can see a metric change next to the event that likely caused it. Annotations belong to the app, so your whole team sees them, and you can manage them from the API with the new charts:write scope.
• Pinned charts. Pin any chart, with its filters, breakdown, size, and style, to your app's Overview so the numbers you check most are there when you open it. Pins are personal and per app.
• Webhooks V2. Every webhook you create now uses the V2 format. Each event carries the subscriber's current subscription state, aliases, and user attributes, so you don't need to call back to Superwall to find out who the user is. You also get signing secrets, custom headers, and per-delivery activity logs. Existing webhooks are labelled Legacy and keep working.

Setting up revenue tracking got faster too: Set up with Apple signs in with your Apple Account, creates both App Store Connect keys, and sets the server notification URL for you. Keys can now be saved at the organization level and reused across apps.

Keep more revenue: Refund Protection for Google Play and retention campaigns

Refund Protection now covers Google Play. When someone files a chargeback on a Google Play purchase, Google opens a refund review and asks for your preference. Superwall now answers those reviews for you with the response you choose, using the service account you connected for revenue tracking. This matters more now that Google Play and developers share chargeback costs on orders placed after August 3, 2026. It's rolling out app by app; contact support if your Android app's Refund Protection page says it isn't available yet.

Retention campaigns let you A/B test the messages Apple shows in the App Store's cancellation flow. Group subscribers into audiences, give each audience one or more messages, split traffic between them, and compare save rates on the Results tab. Retention campaigns are rolling out on the Retention messaging page.

Also shipped in October

• iOS SDK 4.18.0–4.18.3. Besides Customer Center, Teleport, and ad consent, 4.18.0 raises the minimum deployment target to iOS 15 and needs Xcode 26 to build. It also fixes paywalls reporting declined instead of purchased after an after-purchase action list, apps getting stuck in test mode, and blank paywalls after iOS kills the web content process. 4.18.1 adds the device.simulatorModel variable. 4.18.3 keeps StoreKit 2 entitlements active during a billing grace period. iOS changelog →
• Android SDK 2.8.5–2.9.0. 2.9.0 adds subscription replacement: a paywall's Purchase action can upgrade, downgrade, or switch a user's active Google Play subscription instead of buying a second one, and there's a new PurchaseController overload for custom implementations. 2.8.6 adds PresentationHost.IN_WINDOW for hosts like Unity games that pause when another activity covers them. Other fixes: purchases that never completed through the billing callback are now always acknowledged, so Google Play no longer refunds them; prioritized preloading works; and register() no longer stalls when a launch product query is dropped. Android changelog →
• iPhone Duo support. Every paywall has an iPhone Duo safe area setting, and the editor previews iPhone Duo in every fold and orientation. You can keep close buttons clear of the camera strip without an app update. iPhone Duo guide →
• App Store screenshots of your paywall. Render every page of a paywall at App Store size and download the pages you pick from the editor.
• Expo 1.6.0 and 1.7.0. Brings Customer Center to both platforms, ad consent, Teleport events, the inWindow presentation option on Android, and the native SDKs up to iOS 4.18.2 and Android 2.8.8. Expo changelog →
• Flutter 2.8.0. Updates to iOS 4.18.3 and Android 2.9.0, bringing Android install matching, subscription replacement, and ad consent to Flutter. The iOS minimum is now iOS 15. Flutter changelog →
• Superwall iOS app. Pin charts to the Overview, plus updates for iPhone Duo and resizable windows.

That's October. If something here unlocks a use case you have been sitting on, or raises a question, tell us. We say test everything, and we would rather hear the hard question now than after you ship.
