The Restore purchases feature allows players to access previously owned non-consumable products and active, renewable subscriptions without paying again. App stores maintain a permanent record of these entitlements, and Unity IAP can retrieve them to grant access. Non-renewable subscriptions on Apple platforms can't be restored. If you use non-renewable subscriptions on Apple, you must maintain your own subscription records and synchronize entitlements across devices.

Google Play

After reinstall, Unity IAP restores owned products on the first
```
StoreController.FetchPurchases()
```
call.
IAP invokes the
```
OnPurchasesFetched
```
listener with an
```
Orders
```
object that includes all purchases (all states).
If the
```
PurchaseService.ProcessPendingOrdersOnPurchasesFetched
```
setting is set to true, IAP invokes the
```
OnPurchasePending
```
listener for each unfulfilled purchase.
Subsequent
```
FetchPurchases()
```
calls in the same session don't trigger
```
OnPurchasePending
```
for orders that are already seen by the developer in the same session.

Apple platforms

You must provide a Restore Purchases button (mandatory by Apple).
The button calls
```
PurchaseService.RestoreTransactions
```
which requests a transaction resync from Apple to resync transactions and may prompt the user to authenticate.
After resync, Unity IAP calls
```
FetchPurchases
```
and invokes
```
OnPurchasesFetched
```
with all transactions for the user.
