  1. Unity In-App Purchasing

Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) payment providers

Integrate D2C payment providers with Unity In-App Purchasing to sell and fulfill products through off-platform transactions.
Read time 2 minutes
Last updated 7 days ago
D2C payment providers act as the merchant of record (MoR) for your In-App Purchasing (IAP) products, so you can sell and fulfill products through off-platform transactions. The MoR assumes legal responsibility for processing payments, including tax compliance, fraud prevention, disputes, and customer support, which reduces your operational overhead and compliance burden.
Unity IAP supports Stripe and Coda as payment providers. The pages in this section explain how to configure your environment, manage your Remote Catalog, configure a provider in the Unity Dashboard, fulfill purchases, and test your integration end-to-end.
Note
Unity doesn't charge a fee to use IAP with D2C payment providers. Each payment provider sets its own transaction fees, which you negotiate directly with the provider.
If you want a hosted web storefront for off-platform sales, refer to Webshop.
