Checking if subscription is cancelled in Google Wallet

I'm looking to implement Google Wallet for digital goods' subscription on my website.

I understand how it works with postback on start and cancellation.

I'm worried if cancellation postback fail contacting my server. As I have a rather large amount of subscriptions, checking manually would be bothersome so I was wondering if there is any way to check subscription state contacting google wallet servers (like Paypal API).

How do you manage failed cancelation postback ?

Thanks,

AFAIK, there is no API to "query" - it would be nice to have :) I recall asking a similar question back in one of Google's developer hangouts about "repurposing" some of the now deprecated Google Checkout API which did have "query apis".

I'd suggest you mitigate things by logging all notifications - aka "notification history". If you experience a processing error on your end, you'd still have access to the "raw data".

Of course this assumes 2 things, (1) Google will never fail sending you a postback, and (2) your server/s are always ready (if they're down, then they can't receive).

Unless I'm corrected by a Googler, I don't believe I've seen a "retry policy" - error on either end - e.g. in GCO API postbacks were resent until the merchant successfully "acknowledges" receipt of the postback. Until then, I think you're down to looking at Merchant Center (manual).

Hth...
