Distribution Store Presence & Configuration

Hello,

Reading your documentation on In-App Purchases does that refer to mobile app purchases or you mean purchases from within our game client?

Hi again!

I’m more than happy to clear this up for you. When referring to In-App purchases, this is referring to purchases made within the game client itself. Such as being able to purchases currency, downloadable content, etc. within the game itself.

In this context, in-app purchases usually mean items or content that players can buy directly inside the game client, like extra currency, skins, DLC, or other unlocks. So the game might be free or already installed, but players can still purchase additional content from within the game itself. If you’re interested in how these systems are usually implemented and used in mobile games, this overview explains the development and monetization side pretty well https://servreality.com/mobile-gaming-app-development/
