Go to Purchasely console with your credentials.
These credentials are provided to you by the Purchasely Team. If you want to have your credentials created, just contact us at hello@purchasely.com
To create a new app, click on the Add new application in the drop-down menu in the top-left corner
If you have 2 different environments (e.g.: staging & production), you should create 2 different Applications in the Purchasely Console and use 2 different API keys
We advise you to start creating a staging application first (i.e. a mobile application plugged into a staging environment) to perform your first tests.
This new application must be configured with a set of parameters among 3 different stages. All these parameters can be modified after the application has been created.
The mandatory parameters are :
Name: the name of the application as it will be displayed in the Purchasely Console.
The default language: this will define which language shall be used when the language on a user device is not supported by the application; ⚠️ This value can't be changed later.
Default Dashboard Currency: this is the currency unit displayed in your Purchasely Dashboards.
Default Integration Currency: this currency unit is used to send price information to the Webhook and 3rd party integrations
You can add up to 4 different stores. Step by step configuration of each store is explained below, in dedicated sections.
In this section, you can plug the Purchasely Cloud Platform with your own backend through server-to-server integration. This will allow having your backend notified through a webhook when a transaction event is received from the stores.
Fill in the Client webhook URL with the endpoint URL on your own backend where you want to receive the subscription events.
If your Client Webhook is not ready when you make your configuration, we advise you to use the following value: https://httpstat.us/200
This value will simulate a HTTP 200 response code allowing the Purchasely Cloud Platform to consider that the new subscription has been duly acknowledged by the Client Backend.
Every message send by Purchasely in the webhook is signed using a Client shared secret.
Refer to Webhook documentation to know more.
Receiving the transaction events allows to manage user entitlements and access control.
