This project is a part of The SOOMLA Framework, which is a series of open source initiatives with a joint goal to help mobile game developers do more together. SOOMLA encourages better game design, economy modeling, social engagement, and faster development.

Haven't you ever wanted an in-app purchase one liner that looks like this ?!

StoreInventory.BuyItem("[itemId]");

SOOMLA's Store Module for Unity3d

October 29th: v1.7 Work in editor! When you're in the Unity editor, data will be saved to PlayerPrefs.

September 15th: NonConsumableItem class was removed. To create a non-consumable item in your IStoreAssets implementation, use LifeTimeVG with PurchaseType of PurchaseWithMarket.

October 3rd, 2013: iOS Server Side Verification is now implemented into unity3d-store. The server is a complimentary server provided by SOOMLA to help you get your in-game purchases a bit more secured. This feature is not enabled by default. In order to enable Server Side verification go to the Soomla prefab and set ios Server Side Verification -> true.

unity3d-store is the Unity3d flavor of SOOMLA's Store Module.

####Pre baked unitypackages:

If you're upgrading to v1.7.2 make sure you take soomla-unity3d-core again.

soomla-unity3d-core

Debugging

If you want to see full debug messages from android-store and ios-store you just need to check the box that says "Debug Messages" in the SOOMLA Settings. Unity debug messages will only be printed out if you build the project with Development Build checked.

Cloning

There are some necessary files in submodules lined with symbolic links. If you're cloning the project make sure you clone it with the --recursive flag.

$ git clone --recursive [email protected]:soomla/unity3d-store.git

Getting Started

1. Download the soomla-unity3d-core and unity3d-store unitypackages and double-click on them (first 'Core' then 'Store'). It'll import all the necessary files into your project.

2. Drag the "StoreEvents" and "CoreEvents" Prefabs from ../Assets/Soomla/Prefabs into your scene. You should see it listed in the "Hierarchy" panel. [This step MUST be done for unity3d-store to work properly]

3. On the menu bar click "Window -> Soomla -> Edit Settings" and change the value for "Soomla Secret" (also setup Public Key if you're building for Google Play):

   • Soomla Secret - is an encryption secret you provide that will be used to secure your data. (If you used versions before v1.5.2 this secret MUST be the same as Custom Secret)
     Choose the secret wisely. You can't change them after you launch your game!
   • Public Key - is the public key given to you from Google. (iOS doesn't have a public key).

4. Create your own implementation of IStoreAssets in order to describe your specific game's assets (example). Initialize SoomlaStore with the class you just created:

   SoomlaStore.Initialize(new YourStoreAssetsImplementation());

   Initialize SoomlaStore ONLY ONCE when your application loads.

   Initialize SoomlaStore in the "Start()" function of a 'MonoBehaviour' and NOT in the "Awake()" function. SOOMLA has its own 'MonoBehaviour' and it needs to be "Awakened" before you initialize.

5. You'll need an event handler in order to be notified about in-app purchasing related events. refer to the Event Handling section for more information.

And that's it ! You have storage and in-app purchasing capabilities... ALL-IN-ONE.

Unity & Android

Starting IAB Service in background

If you have your own storefront implemented inside your game, it's recommended that you open the IAB Service in the background when the store opens and close it when the store is closed.

// Start Iab Service
SoomlaStore.StartIabServiceInBg();

// Stop Iab Service
SoomlaStore.StopIabServiceInBg();

Don't forget to close the Iab Service when your store is closed. You don't have to do this at all, this is just an optimization.

What's next? In App Purchasing.

When we implemented modelV3, we were thinking about ways that people buy things inside apps. We figured out many ways you can let your users purchase stuff in your game and we designed the new modelV3 to support 2 of them: PurchaseWithMarket and PurchaseWithVirtualItem.

PurchaseWithMarket is a PurchaseType that allows users to purchase a VirtualItem with Google Play or the App Store.
PurchaseWithVirtualItem is a PurchaseType that lets your users purchase a VirtualItem with a different VirtualItem. For Example: Buying 1 Sword with 100 Gems.

In order to define the way your various virtual items (Goods, Coins ...) are purchased, you'll need to create your implementation of IStoreAsset (the same one from step 4 in the "Getting Started" above).

Here is an example:

Lets say you have a VirtualCurrencyPack you call TEN_COINS_PACK and a VirtualCurrency you call COIN_CURRENCY:

VirtualCurrencyPack TEN_COINS_PACK = new VirtualCurrencyPack(
	            "10 Coins",                    // name
	            "A pack of 10 coins",      // description
	            "10_coins",                    // item id
				10,								// number of currencies in the pack
	            COIN_CURRENCY_ITEM_ID,         // the currency associated with this pack
	            new PurchaseWithMarket("com.soomla.ten_coin_pack", 1.99)
		);

Now you can use StoreInventory to buy your new VirtualCurrencyPack:

StoreInventory.buyItem(TEN_COINS_PACK.ItemId);

And that's it! unity3d-store knows how to contact Google Play or the App Store for you and will redirect your users to their purchasing system to complete the transaction. Don't forget to subscribe to store events in order to get the notified of successful or failed purchases (see Event Handling).

Storage & Meta-Data

When you initialize SoomlaStore, it automatically initializes two other classes: StoreInventory and StoreInfo:

• StoreInventory is a convenience class to let you perform operations on VirtualCurrencies and VirtualGoods. Use it to fetch/change the balances of VirtualItems in your game (using their ItemIds!)
• StoreInfo is where all meta data information about your specific game can be retrieved. It is initialized with your implementation of IStoreAssets and you can use it to retrieve information about your specific game.

The on-device storage is encrypted and kept in a SQLite database. SOOMLA is preparing a cloud-based storage service that will allow this SQLite to be synced to a cloud-based repository that you'll define.

Example Usages

• Get VirtualCurrency with itemId "currency_coin":

  VirtualCurrency coin = (VirtualCurrency) StoreInfo.GetItemByItemId("currency_coin");

• Give the user 10 pieces of a virtual currency with itemId "currency_coin":

  StoreInventory.GiveItem("currency_coin", 10);

• Take 10 virtual goods with itemId "green_hat":

  StoreInventory.TakeItem("green_hat", 10);

• Get the current balance of green hats (virtual goods with itemId "green_hat"):

  int greenHatsBalance = StoreInventory.GetItemBalance("green_hat");

Event Handling

SOOMLA lets you subscribe to store events, get notified and implement your own application specific behavior to those events.

Your behavior is an addition to the default behavior implemented by SOOMLA. You don't replace SOOMLA's behavior.

The 'Events' class is where all event go through. To handle various events, just add your specific behavior to the delegates in the Events class.

For example, if you want to 'listen' to a MarketPurchase event:

StoreEvents.OnMarketPurchase += onMarketPurchase;

public void onMarketPurchase(PurchasableVirtualItem pvi, string payload, Dictionary<string, string> extra) {
    // pvi is the PurchasableVirtualItem that was just purchased
    // payload is a text that you can give when you initiate the purchase operation and you want to receive back upon completion
    // extra will contain platform specific information about the market purchase.
    //      Android: The "extra" dictionary will contain "orderId" and "purchaseToken".
    //      iOS: The "extra" dictionary will contain "receipt" and "token".

    // ... your game specific implementation here ...
}

NOTE: One thing you need to notice is that if you want to listen to OnSoomlaStoreInitialized event you have to set up the listener before you initialize SoomlaStore. So you'll need to do:

StoreEvents.OnSoomlaStoreInitialized += onSoomlaStoreInitialized;

before

Soomla.SoomlaStore.Initialize(new Soomla.Example.MuffinRushAssets());
