In-App Purchasing

Configure Stripe in the Unity Dashboard

Configure Stripe to use the payment provider to handle payments for in-app purchases.
Read time 2 minutesLast updated a day ago
This integration uses Stripe Managed Payments as the merchant of record (MoR). As the MoR, Stripe assumes the legal responsibility for processing payments, which includes support with tax compliance, fraud prevention, disputes, and customer support. By leveraging Stripe as the MoR, you can significantly reduce your operational overhead and compliance burden for off-platform transactions. To configure Stripe in the Unity Dashboard, complete the following steps:
  1. In the Unity Dashboard, go to Development > Products.
  2. Select In-App Purchases.
  3. Select Payment Providers.
  4. In the Payment Provider Configuration section, select Connect.
  5. Select an Account Type:
    • Use Sandbox Account for testing.
    • Use Live Account for your live game.
  6. Select Connect to open a dialog and link your Unity account with your chosen payment provider account via OAuth.
  7. Set Success Redirect URL (ideally a deep link into your game).
  8. Set Cancel Redirect URL (optional; ideally a deep link into your game).
  9. Select Save Configuration.
Important
To connect a Live account with Stripe, you first need to meet the Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements. For more information, refer to Stripe's Identity verification documentation.
Note
If your game ships on multiple platforms, use a small proxy page to deep link to the correct platform for the Success Redirect URL. For more information, refer to the Success URL deep link example.

Stripe configuration options

Refer to the following table to understand your configuration options:

Setting

Description

Setup
  • Complete: You've configured all the required fields for the payment provider.
  • Incomplete: You're missing a required configuration field and can't activate the payment provider.
Connection
  • Linked: You've successfully authenticated with the payment provider and installed Unity IAP to link the accounts.
  • Not Linked: You need to re-authenticate with your payment provider. For Stripe, this issue can be due to either your app containing gambling (refer to Prohibited and Restricted Businesses) or due to Unity IAP not being installed in Stripe.

Account TypeDefines the account type. Select Switch account to change between the following options:
  • Sandbox Account
  • Live Account
Success Redirect URLThe URL that the payment provider redirects to after a successful payment. Ideally this is a deep link back into your game.

Re-authenticateRe-authenticates your Unity account with your payment provider account using the OAuth mechanism.

Disconnect Stripe

To remove the Stripe payment provider, you need to uninstall the Unity Purchasing app in your Stripe dashboard.
