Purchases

Preparation

Remember, you need to configure and initialize the Magify Manager to handle purchases.

Overview

InApp purchases affect the user's in-app status and paying status. Subscriptions at the same time affect the subscription status and paying status of the user. We need this to properly segment and filter users.

Magify SDK works with 3 kind of statuses:

• InApp status - determines whether the user has purchased any in-app product;
• Subscription status - determines the status of the user's in-game subscription;
• Paying status - combination of the 2 statuses above determines whether the user has spent money on the game;

InApp status

This status has only two states: free and paid. A player can only switch from free to paid status after purchasing an InApp product. There is no reverse transition.

Subscription status

Magify SDK automatically provides a special service to maintain the actual subscription status: MagifyService.Subscription. Be careful when working with it to keep the status up to date.

• The status may be changed according to the following rules:
  • Inactive → Trial ↔ Trial expired
  • Inactive → Paid ↔ Paid expired
• Switching back to Inactive is usually not allowed;
• A user goes into expired status when the subscription has expired and no payment has been made to renew the subscription.

API

Magify provides a wide API for handling of purchases and subscriptions. You can explore the available methods here.
