Virtual Transactions

Overview

A Virtual Transaction is a catalog item dedicated to purchases using virtual currencies and counterparts.

This type of transaction has 2 specifics fields:

• Costs: it describes the inputs from the transaction, the list of items and currencies the player needs to consume when processing this transaction.
• Payouts: it describes the outcome from the transaction, the list of items and currencies the player receives when processing this transaction.

The process of consuming the costs, and generating the payouts is done by the Transaction Manager.

Editor Overview

Open the Transaction window by going to Window → Game Foundation → Transaction. The Transaction window will let you configure both Virtual Transactions and IAP Transactions.

The interface is similar to the other catalog items editor.

(1) The Costs section shows a list of currencies and item definitions. Those are the input of the transaction. The amounts next to each entry are the number of those items the transaction will consume in order to produce the payouts.

(2) The Payouts section shows a list of currencies and item definitions. Those are the output of the transaction. The amounts next to each entry are the number of those items the player will get from the transaction.
