Stores

Understand digital distribution platforms and how to access store-specific features through store extensions.
Read time 1 minute
Last updated 2 months ago
A store is a digital distribution platform where users purchase products for your application, such as the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.
It is important to distinguish between a digital distribution platform and Unity's own store implementation. The digital distribution platform is the external service (for example, Google Play), while the Unity IAP store implementation is the code within the IAP package that communicates with that platform's purchasing APIs.

Store extensions

Some stores provide features that go beyond the standard cross-platform purchase flow. Unity IAP makes these features available through store extensions, which your application can access after Unity IAP initializes successfully.
For a list of store extension properties, refer to 
Properties
.

Fake Store

The Fake Store is a mock store in the Unity Editor. It simulates real app store behavior, including successful purchases and failed transactions. Use the Fake Store to test your IAP implementation without building to a device. This helps you quickly check your IAP logic during development.
