On September 25th, 2024, we released v2 of the Apps SDK. To learn what’s new and how to upgrade, see Migration FAQ and Migration guide.

getPlatformInfo

API reference for the getPlatformInfo method.
This version of the API is deprecated. This version will soon be unsupported. You should use a stable version of the API in your app.

Returns information about the platform on which the app is running.

Usage

import { getPlatformInfo } from "@canva/platform";
const info = getPlatformInfo();
console.log(info); // => { ... }
TS

Returns

resultobject
REQUIRED

Information about the platform on which the app is running.

result.canAcceptPaymentsboolean
REQUIRED

If true, the app is allowed to directly link to payment and upgrade flows.

This is sometimes false to comply with the policies of the platforms on which Canva is available. For example, some platforms only allow payment-related actions that use their own payment mechanisms, and apps are therefore not allowed to render payment-related call-to-actions while running on those platforms.
