Money Purchase assets#

A real money purchase is a transactional resource allowing players to purchase in-game currencies or items using real money through an app store.

A Money Purchase asset file has .ecr for extension.

Creation#

Right-click on the Project Window then select Create > Economy File > Money Purchase to create a Money Purchase asset.

Once created, a corresponding item will appear in the deployment window, and will allow you to deploy the newly created Money Purchase file.

Edition#

Any text editor can modify an Economy file, however, it is always preferred to choose one that supports JSON Schema definitions to benefit from code completion.

Deletion#

Deleting an Economy asset isn't enough to remove the resouce from the service, it is also needed to delete it using the Unity dashboard.

Format and schema#

A Money Purchase asset is written in JSON, and its schema is defined here.

Here is an example of a Money Purchase asset content.

{
  "name": "My Money Purchase",
  "storeIdentifiers":
    {
      "appleAppStore": "my_id",
      "googlePlayStore": "my_id"
    },
  "rewards": [
    {
      "resourceId": "MY_RESOURCE_ID",
      "amount": 6,
      "defaultInstanceData": null
    }
  ]
}

Naming Restrictions#

The name of the created file will be used as the ID for the Money Purchase object, therefore it can only contain uppercase letters, numbers, and underscores.
