android - Google Play Subscription orderId not present -

we've completed implementation google play subscriptions v3 in our app , testing alpha builds on play store. works perfectly, apart orderid, not returned part of google play api json response on device. token returned expected though. happening because testing using alpha testing, or issue? if so, shouldn't orderid still sent google play api token is?

so apparently expected behaviour when doing pre-release testing of subscriptions testing account licences, google play api won't send out orderids because no actual real life purchase being made, google wallet doesn't create order. translates no orderid being received app.

the official response google play developer support representative on matter:

currently, test subscriptions not appear in google wallet merchant center because not assigned valid order ids. i'm sorry confusion.

to manage test subscriptions, instead need use developer api refund, defer, cancel, or revoke test subscriptions. take of these actions, need app's package name, subscription id, , purchase token.

and when asked not assigned valid order ids means,

as per concern, since it's test purchase, there won't order id. order id exists when move production.
