Validate subscription using Channel Store Web Services API

Archived
1

I’m looking to use Roku In-app Payments to collection subscription payments from customers for my channel. It looks like I can use the Roku Channel Store Web Services API’s “transaction-service.svc” call to validate a transaction (see http://sdkdocs.roku.com/display/sdkdoc/Web+Service+API). My channel sells monthly subscriptions. Consequently, the initial transaction could be valid, but next month the user could cancel his/her subscription, and/or the payment might fail. I would like to be able to make a Web service call from my Linux application server to verify that individual customer’s subscriptions made vie Roku In-app Payments are still up-to-date/paid in full. Can I use the “transaction-service.svc” call to do that?

OK, I tried invoking the “validate-transaction” Web service and recieved the following response:

Guid should contain 32 digits with 4 dashes (xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx). Failure 0 0001-01-01T00:00:00 0001-01-01T00:00:00 0

So, I would greatly appreciate if someone could verify that the following is true: If the actual currrent date is before the value of the “expirationDate” in the response from the validate-transaction service, then the customer has a valid/paid-up subscription. If a payment fails or the customer cancels, then the expirationDate element will be the last day of the last month that the customer has actually paid for a subsciption that he/she signed up for with the original in-app payment transaction.

Coudl someone let me know if the above statements are correct?

Thanks in advance for any help.
