Is your feature request related to a problem?
When a user initiates a purchase, but presses the back button on the payment screen, the purchase() function returns a PurchaseResponse code (PurchaseResponseCode - Amazon Vega Docs) of 4 (FAILED). This means that it is not possible for developers to distinguish between a legitimate purchase failure and a cancellation triggered by the user.
Typically, developers would update their UI in different ways depending on if the result is a cancellation or failure:
- If the user cancelled the purchase, developers would likely want to dismiss their paywall or show a cancellation message, but they will usually not want to show an error message for an event that isn’t an error.
- If the purchase failed due to an error, the developer likely would show an error message to the user.
Describe the solution you’d like
If I were designing a solution to this issue, I would create a new enumeration member on PurchaseResponseCode that represents cancellations triggered by the user (USER_CANCELLED), and provide that value in the PurchaseResponse returned by the purchase() function when the user presses the back button on the purchase screen.
Is this a blocker? Describe alternatives you’ve considered
Without this feature, it is impossible for developers to distinguish between purchase cancellations and errors. Until this is possible through the APIs, developers must either:
- Treat all purchase cancellations as errors
- Treat all purchase errors as cancellations
