Purchases

Preparation

Remember, you need to configure and initialize the Magify Service to work with purchases and subscriptions.

How does the Magify SDK interact with purchases and subscriptions?

The Magify SDK itself does not do any manipulation of purchases and subscriptions without minimal configuration. We provide extensive functionality to manipulate purchases. To get started, you need to understand how to interact with stores:

• Our SDK is waiting to receive a specific implementation of the IMinimalInAppStore interface;
• You can implement this interface as you need;
• During the purchasing process, the implementation notifies the SDK of the purchase made and SDK starts processing it, including sending analytics, validation, and others.

InApp, Subscription, Paying statuses

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. You need this to properly segment and filter users.

Purchases validaton

Our SDK provides simple way to validate and verify purchases and subscriptions.

You can read more about it on the Validation page.

Paying statuses notes

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.
