To start creating products for Google Play, you will need to configure Notificare's Monetize add-on and create products in both Notificare and Google's Play. We also advise that you read the Google's guide about In-App Billing.

Upload your License Key

In order for Notificare to validate and process your transactions, you will need to provide us with your app's In-App Billing License Key. To get that key, sign in to Google Play Console and expand the menu Development Tools and click in Services & APIs:

In that page, locate the Licensing & in-app billing section and copy the key assigned for your application:

Then open our dashboard and select your app. In your app's menu, expand the Settings menu item and click in Services:

If you have subscribed to the Monetize add-on, to configure your service, you should click the Configure button in the Monetize box:

Locate the License Key field and paste the key you've copied earlier:

You are now ready to create products in both Notificare and Google Play.

Designing your Products

It is important that before you create your products you understand what you can sell in Google Play. Google Play allows you to sell content, functionality and services in your Android app. Notificare SDK supports the following types of products:

Consumables

These products must be purchased every time they are downloaded. As an example, this would be ideal for selling food in a Tamagochi app. You as a developer will be responsible to provide this content as soon as you get successful transactions' information from our SDK.

Non-Consumables

These products must be purchased only once. You could think of this as new content added to your game like a new level. Once every transaction is completed you are also responsible to provide the content for this purchase. This product can never be bought anymore so it is important that you make sure the user can always access whatever he/she bought.

In Google Play Console, expand the Store presence menu item and click in In-app products:

In the list of products you can go ahead and click in Add new product button:

This will prompt you to fill a window like this one:
