Ren'Py includes a high-level in-app purchasing framework. This framework currently only supports unlock-style purchases from the Apple App Store, Google Play, and the Amazon App Store.
Using this framework is fairly simple, and consists of the following functions.
iap.register()
function.iap.has_purchased()
function.iap.purchase()
function
or the iap.Purchase()
action.iap.restore()
function or the iap.Restore()
action.To offer in-app purchases, the purchases (including an associated price) must be set up on the various marketplaces. When building for android, Ren'Py will ask for the marketplace in use when configuring the package.
iap.
get_price
(product)¶Returns a string giving the price of the product in the user's local currency. Returns None if the price of the product is unknown - which indicates the product cannot be purchased.
iap.
get_store_name
()¶Returns the name of the enabled store for in-app purchase. This currently returns one of "amazon", "google", "ios" or None if no store is available.
iap.
has_purchased
(product)¶Returns True if the user has purchased product in the past, and False otherwise.
