Add a currency to your game#

The following instructions describe how to add a currency resource to your game’s economy system.

1. From the Unity Cloud Dashboard, open Economy and select Configuration.
2. On the Configuration screen, select Add resource.
3. Set Choose a type to Currency.
4. Give the currency a resource name, and an ID for use in API calls (SDK and HTTP). For example, if your in-game currency uses gold coins, the resource name could be Gold Coins, and the ID is auto-generated from the name but you can change it to anything that suits you and your game.
5. Select Next.
6. (Optional) Enter an Initial balance and Maximum balance for this resource.
7. You can add any optional custom JSON data you want allocated to this currency by entering it into the Custom Data box. See Custom data.
8. Select Add.

The new currency now appears on the Configuration page of Economy.
