This guide describes how to set up InPlayer in-app payments for your Android app. When setting things up, please make sure to take your time and follow each step in the below instructions carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are planning on using in-app purchases, make sure to let us know so we can enable the proper payment gateway on your account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connecting your InPlayer and Google Play Store accounts<\/h1><\/a>\n\n\n\n

First, log into your InPlayer Dashboard<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go to Settings<\/a><\/strong>, then Integrations<\/a><\/strong>, and finally In-App integrations<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Click on Google Play<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enter the Site Verification Token<\/strong> and the Android Service Key<\/strong> from your Google account, and click Save<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Your InPlayer and Google accounts are now integrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to find the Site Verification Token<\/strong> and the Android Service Key<\/strong><\/h2><\/a>\n\n\n\n

Site Verification Token<\/strong><\/h4><\/a>\n\n\n\n

Go to Google Search Console<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Select URL prefix<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Go back to the Integrations<\/strong> tab of your InPlayer dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Click Copy URL<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Paste the copied URL in the Google Search Console Page, and click Continue<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The verification token will be displayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Copy the token, without<\/strong> the .html part, and paste it in the InPlayer dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Before you can verify the token in Google, you will need to also enter the Android Service Key in the InPlayer panel, and save the settings there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read on to learn how to get the service key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Android Service Key<\/strong><\/h2><\/a>\n\n\n\n

Go to the Google Cloud Platform<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will need to create a new project and a topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note that this guide assumes that you do not already have a linked project in your Google Play Console. If you do, instead of creating a new project, use the existing one and create the topic there.<\/p>
\n\n\n\n

Creating the project<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start by creating the new project. (If you already have one, skip this step and move to creating the topic.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the new project, click on ADD PEOPLE TO THIS PROJECT<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Next, click on CREATE TOPIC<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Next, you need to create a service account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go to the Google Cloud Platform<\/a>, and from the left-hand menu, go to API & Services<\/strong> and then to Credentials<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Go to the KEYS <\/strong>tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Click on Add key<\/strong> and Create new key<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Under Key type<\/strong>, select JSON<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Click Create<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The file with the service key will be downloaded to your device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Open the file in a text editor. Copy the entire content of the file and paste it in the InPlayer dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once you have both the Site Verification Token and the Android Service Key in the InPlayer dashboard, click Save<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
