In-app purchases

Sell subscriptions or items with Google Play billing from your website.

About 30 minutes

Before you start

  • Pro plan
  • App already uploaded to Play (at least a closed test)
  • A Google Play payments profile
  1. 1

    Set up a payments profile

    Play Console → Settings → Payments profile. Complete it — purchases can't be created without it.

  2. 2

    Create products

    Monetize → Products → In-app products or Subscriptions → Create.

    Pick a product ID (e.g. premium_monthly), a name and a price. Activate it.

  3. 3

    Turn on the module

    Modules tab → In-app purchase → switch on and list your product IDs.

  4. 4

    Connect your website

    Your website asks the app to start a purchase by product ID and receives the result. See the In-app purchase card for the exact message format to give your web developer.

  5. 5

    Add testers

    Settings → License testing → add your Gmail. Test purchases on that account are free.

How to check it worked

  • A test purchase completes and your website unlocks the feature

Common problems

'Item not available'

The product must be active and the app installed from Play (closed test link), not from a downloaded file.
