IAP Transaction

Overview

An IAP Transaction permits players to exchange real-world money for in-game Inventory Items and/or Currencies using payouts described in each transaction. Each IAP Transaction is a catalog item dedicated to In-App Purchasing.

This type of transaction shows 2 specifics fields:

  • Product Ids: the identifiers of the products in the Platform Stores (Google Store and Apple App Store). They are used by the IAP SDK through the TransactionManager to process the in-app purchase step.
  • Payouts: it describes the outcome from the transaction, the list of items and currencies the player receives when processing this transaction.

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 IAP Transaction Editor Window

The interface is similar to the other catalog items editor.

(1) The Product IDs section allows the content creator to specify which product ids are linked to the transaction being edited.

Tip: Make sure to enter a product ID into both Apple and Google fields if you want to build for both platforms.

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