# In-Game Purchases

Enable players to purchase items, upgrades, or currency within your game to enhance their experience and generate revenue.

There are two types of purchases — permanent (e.g., ad removal) and consumable (e.g., in-game coins).

#### Support <a href="#support-1" id="support-1"></a>

Check if in-game purchases are supported to offer items or upgrades within the game.

```javascript
playgama_bridge_payments_is_supported()
```

#### Setup <a href="#purchase" id="purchase"></a>

Setup in-game purchases in the [config file](/playgama/sdk/engines/gamemaker/setup.md#config). For each product add an `id` and fill in the information for the required platforms, example for one product:

```json
{
    ...    
    "payments": [
        {
            "id": "test_product",
            "playgama": {
                "amount": 1 // int price in Gam
            },
            "playdeck": {
                "amount": 1, // int price in Telegram Stars
                "description": "TEST PRODUCT"
            }
        }
    ]
}
```

#### Purchase <a href="#purchase" id="purchase"></a>

Allow players to buy items or upgrades in your game to enhance their gameplay experience.

```javascript
var options = { }
playgama_bridge_payments_purchase("test_product", json_stringify(options)) // id you specified in the config file

// callback via Async Social Event
if async_load[? "type"] == "playgama_bridge_payments_purchase_callback" {
    if async_load[? "success"] {
        var purchase = json_parse(async_load[? "data"])
        var productId = purchase.id
        // your logic here
    }
}
```

Each platform provides its own set of properties for a purchase, so make sure to check the official documentation of the specific platform you are targeting.

Use `purchase` data to verify the purchase. Currently, the Playgama API verification only supports `playgama`, `msn` and `microsoft_store` platforms.&#x20;

```bash
curl -X POST "https://playgama.com/api/bridge/v1/verify" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"platform":"<PLATFORM_ID>","type":"purchase","data":{ <...purchase> }}'

#  Response:
#  {
#    success: boolean;
#    errorMessage?: string;

#    -- purchase --
#    orderId?: string;
#    productId?: string;
#    externalId?: string;
#  }
```

#### Consume Purchase <a href="#consume-purchase" id="consume-purchase"></a>

Consume purchased items, such as in-game currency, once they are used, to manage inventory and player progression.

```javascript
playgama_bridge_payments_consume_purchase("test_product") // id you specified in the config file

// callback via Async Social Event
if async_load[? "type"] == "playgama_bridge_payments_consume_purchase_callback" {
    if async_load[? "success"] {
        var purchase = json_parse(async_load[? "data"])
        var productId = purchase.id
        // your logic here
    }
}
```

#### Catalog of All Items <a href="#catalog-of-all-items" id="catalog-of-all-items"></a>

Retrieve a list of all available in-game items that players can purchase to display in the game store.

```javascript
playgama_bridge_payments_get_catalog()

// callback via Async Social Event
if async_load[? "type"] == "playgama_bridge_payments_get_catalog_callback" {
    if async_load[? "success"] {
        var catalog = json_parse(async_load[? "data"])
        for (var i = 0; i < array_length(catalog); i += 1)
	{
	    var catalogItem = catalog[i]
            var prodcutId = catalogItem.id
            var price = catalogItem.price
            var priceCurrencyCode = catalogItem.priceCurrencyCode
            var priceValue = catalogItem.priceValue
            // your logic here
	}
    }
}
```

#### List of Purchased Items <a href="#list-of-purchased-items" id="list-of-purchased-items"></a>

Retrieve a list of items that the player has purchased to manage their inventory and provide access to purchased content.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If the user loses internet connection when making an in-game purchase, the purchase might remain unprocessed. To avoid this, check for unprocessed purchases using this method (e.g., each time the game is launched).
{% endhint %}

```javascript
playgama_bridge_payments_get_purchases()

// callback via Async Social Event
if async_load[? "type"] == "playgama_bridge_payments_get_purchases_callback" {
    if async_load[? "success"] {
        var purchases = json_parse(async_load[? "data"])
        for (var i = 0; i < array_length(purchases); i += 1)
	{
	    var purchase = purchases[i]
            var productId = purchase.id
            // your logic here
	}
    }
}
```
