Billing API: remove recurring fee on app_uninstalled webhook

[joergviola]

Hi all, 

we are in the review process of our app.

One criterion is that, on uninstall, all recurring fees must automatically be terminated.

Since we are a SaaS platform with its own charges, we did not use managed billing, but implemented our own billing via the shopify billing API.
So, we are listening on the uninstall webhook and try to remove the recurring fees.
But here, the app is already uninstalled, thus the request is unauthorized.

Therefore the question:
Using the Billing API, how do we remove recurring fees on app uninstall?

Thanks for your time!

On Shopify's end, any shop that has uninstalled your app will have all active recurring charges cancelled.

If there are any other charges on your own platform instead, you will need to handle them.

Argh! Sorry, we didn't think about it the correct way.
Fees are automatically cancelled.
We only have to terminate the license on our side.

Thank you!
