Question for adding in-app products on Google Play

Hello,

I have completed my app and it uses in-app purchases for additional points that you can buy more than once. I uploaded the APK file to my account and now trying to add the in-app products. It ask me if I want the product to be managed or subscription. For managed it states the product can only be purchased once. For subscription the detail page ask the billing period.

I just want to charge once for the product but allow the user to buy it again since it is additional points. I have added in the IAP Badger plugin to handle everything. How do I add a product like this in my Google developer console?

Thanks,

Warren

Hi Warren,

Just to clarify, you want an In-App Product that can be purchased multiple times, i.e. every time the user wants to buy points, they are charged for it and can buy points as much as they like?

In Google Play Dev Console, if you set up an IAP as a “Managed” product, after the item is purchased once, you can make it purchasable again by “consuming” it.

Example 2 of the IAP badger tutorial should explain more, although I can’t comment on whether IAP badger will automatically consume purchases like this or not.

I have the product set as non-consumable since it should be available for another purchase. Is this correct?

#4

From the example you pointed me to it looks like the points I sell with in-app purchases should be consumable. Is this right?

#5

Yes, you should make your products consumable.

#6

consumable = points, coins, fish food, stars, life, juice

non-consumable = level pack, no ads, features

On Google Play, IAP Badger automatically takes care of consuming the product for you following a successful purchase (so it can be purchased again by the user in the future).
