# POST /verifyReceipt is deprecated

App Store Receipts API deprecated POST /verifyReceipt without giving a shutdown date yet.

The provider has deprecated the POST /verifyReceipt endpoint without announcing a shutdown date. Calls directed to this endpoint will eventually fail once it is removed. The change affects any integration relying on legacy receipt verification.

## What to use instead

Use the App Store Server API, such as GET /inApps/v1/transactions/{transactionId} or GET /inApps/v2/history/{transactionId}, and verify signed transactions, or validate receipts on your server following Validating receipts on the device. Moving off verifyReceipt requires more than changing an identifier, as it involves adopting an In-App Purchase key and signed JWS transactions instead of the shared secret.

Moving off verifyReceipt means adopting the App Store Server API, with an In-App Purchase key and signed (JWS) transactions instead of the shared secret.
