| 5 | +# Quick Start |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +This guide covers the essential steps to initialize billing, query products, and handle purchases, with simple explanations along the way. |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +## Initialize the plugin |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +To use the GodotGooglePlayBilling API: |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +1. Access the `BillingClient`. |
| 15 | +2. Connect to its signals to receive billing results. |
| 16 | +3. Call `start_connection()`. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +Initialization example: |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +```gdscript |
| 21 | +var billing_client: BillingClient |
| 22 | +func _ready(): |
| 23 | + billing_client = BillingClient.new() |
| 24 | + billing_client.connected.connect(_on_connected) # No params |
| 25 | + billing_client.disconnected.connect(_on_disconnected) # No params |
| 26 | + billing_client.connect_error.connect(_on_connect_error) # response_code: int, debug_message: String |
| 27 | + billing_client.query_product_details_response.connect(_on_query_product_details_response) # response: Dictionary |
| 28 | + billing_client.query_purchases_response.connect(_on_query_purchases_response) # response: Dictionary |
| 29 | + billing_client.on_purchase_updated.connect(_on_purchase_updated) # response: Dictionary |
| 30 | + billing_client.consume_purchase_response.connect(_on_consume_purchase_response) # response: Dictionary |
| 31 | + billing_client.acknowledge_purchase_response.connect(_on_acknowledge_purchase_response) # response: Dictionary |
| 32 | +
|
| 33 | + billing_client.start_connection() |
| 34 | +``` |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +The API must be in a connected state prior to use. The `connected` signal is sent when the connection process succeeds. |
| 37 | +You can also use `is_ready()` to determine if the plugin is ready for use. |
| 38 | +The `get_connection_state()` function returns the current connection state of the plugin. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +Return values for `get_connection_state()`: |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +```gdscript |
| 43 | +# Matches BillingClient.ConnectionState in the Play Billing Library. |
| 44 | +# Access in your script as: BillingClient.ConnectionState.CONNECTED |
| 45 | +enum ConnectionState { |
| 46 | + DISCONNECTED, # This client was not yet connected to billing service or was already closed. |
| 47 | + CONNECTING, # This client is currently in process of connecting to billing service. |
| 48 | + CONNECTED, # This client is currently connected to billing service. |
| 49 | + CLOSED, # This client was already closed and shouldn't be used again. |
| 50 | +} |
| 51 | +``` |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +## Query available items |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +Once the API has connected, query product IDs using `query_product_details()`. |
| 56 | +You must successfully complete a product details query before calling the |
| 57 | +`purchase()`, `purchase_subscription()`, or `update_subscription()` functions, or they will return an error. |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +`query_product_details()` takes two parameters: an array of product ID strings and the type of product being queried. |
| 60 | +The product type should be `BillingClient.ProductType.INAPP` for normal in-app purchases or `BillingClient.ProductType.SUBS` for subscriptions. |
| 61 | +The ID strings in the array should match the product IDs defined in the Google Play Console entry for your app. |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +Example use of `query_product_details()`: |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +```gdscript |
| 66 | +func _on_connected(): |
| 67 | + billing_client.query_product_details(["my_iap_item"], BillingClient.ProductType.INAPP) # BillingClient.ProductType.SUBS for subscriptions. |
| 68 | +
|
| 69 | +func _on_query_product_details_response(query_result: Dictionary): |
| 70 | + if query_result.response_code == BillingClient.BillingResponseCode.OK: |
| 71 | + print("Product details query success") |
| 72 | + for available_product in query_result.product_details: |
| 73 | + print(available_product) |
| 74 | + else: |
| 75 | + print("Product details query failed") |
| 76 | + print("response_code: ", query_result.response_code, "debug_message: ", query_result.debug_message) |
| 77 | +``` |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +## Query user purchases |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +To retrieve a user's purchases, call the `query_purchases()` function passing a product type to query. |
| 82 | +The product type should be `BillingClient.ProductType.INAPP` for normal in-app purchases or `BillingClient.ProductType.SUBS` for subscriptions. |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +The `query_purchases_response` signal is sent with the result. |
| 85 | +The signal has a single parameter: a `Dictionary` with a response code andeither an array of purchases or a debug message. |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +**Note**: Only active subscriptions and non-consumed one-time purchases are included in the purchase array. |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +Example use of `query_purchases()`: |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +```gdscript |
| 92 | +func _query_purchases(): |
| 93 | + billing_client.query_purchases(BillingClient.ProductType.INAPP) # Or BillingClient.ProductType.SUBS for subscriptions. |
| 94 | +
|
| 95 | +func _on_query_purchases_response(query_result: Dictionary): |
| 96 | + if query_result.response_code == BillingClient.BillingResponseCode.OK: |
| 97 | + print("Purchase query success") |
| 98 | + for purchase in query_result.purchases: |
| 99 | + _process_purchase(purchase) |
| 100 | + else: |
| 101 | + print("Purchase query failed") |
| 102 | + print("response_code: ", query_result.response_code, "debug_message: ", query_result.debug_message) |
| 103 | +``` |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +## Purchase an item |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | +To launch the billing flow for an item: Use `purchase()` for in-app products, passing the product ID string. |
| 108 | +Use `purchase_subscription()` for subscriptions, passing the product ID and base plan ID. You may also optionally provide an offer ID. |
| 109 | + |
| 110 | +For both `purchase()` and `purchase_subscription()`, you can optionally pass a boolean to indicate whether offers are personallised |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +This method returns a dictionary indicating whether the billing flow was successfully launched. |
| 113 | +It includes a response code and either an array of purchases or a debug message. |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | +**Reminder**: you *must* query the product details for an item before you can pass it to `purchase()`. |
| 116 | + |
| 117 | +Example use of `purchase()`: |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | +```gdscript |
| 120 | +var result = billing_client.purchase("my_iap_item") |
| 121 | +if result.response_code == BillingClient.BillingResponseCode.OK: |
| 122 | + print("Billing flow launch success") |
| 123 | +else: |
| 124 | + print("Billing flow launch failed") |
| 125 | + print("response_code: ", result.response_code, "debug_message: ", result.debug_message) |
| 126 | +``` |
| 127 | + |
| 128 | +The result of the purchase will be sent through the `on_purchases_updated` signal. |
| 129 | + |
| 130 | +```gdscript |
| 131 | +func _on_purchases_updated(result: Dictionary): |
| 132 | + if result.response_code == BillingClient.BillingResponseCode.OK: |
| 133 | + print("Purchase update received") |
| 134 | + for purchase in result.purchases: |
| 135 | + _process_purchase(purchase) |
| 136 | + else: |
| 137 | + print("Purchase update error") |
| 138 | + print("response_code: ", result.response_code, "debug_message: ", result.debug_message) |
| 139 | +``` |
| 140 | + |
| 141 | +### Processing a purchase item |
| 142 | + |
| 143 | +The `query_purchases_response` and `on_purchases_updated` signals provide an array of purchases in Dictionary format. |
| 144 | +The purchase Dictionary includes keys that map to values of the Google Play Billing [Purchase](https://developer.android.com/reference/com/android/billingclient/api/Purchase) class. |
| 145 | + |
| 146 | +Purchase fields: |
| 147 | + |
| 148 | +```gdscript |
| 149 | +order_id: String |
| 150 | +purchase_token: String |
| 151 | +package_name: String |
| 152 | +purchase_state: int |
| 153 | +purchase_time: int (milliseconds since the epoch (Jan 1, 1970)) |
| 154 | +original_json: String |
| 155 | +is_acknowledged: bool |
| 156 | +is_auto_renewing: bool |
| 157 | +quantity: int |
| 158 | +signature: String |
| 159 | +product_ids: PackedStringArray |
| 160 | +``` |
| 161 | + |
| 162 | +### Check purchase state |
| 163 | + |
| 164 | +Check the `purchase_state` value of a purchase to determine if a purchase was completed or is still pending. |
| 165 | + |
| 166 | +PurchaseState values: |
| 167 | + |
| 168 | +```gdscript |
| 169 | +# Matches Purchase.PurchaseState in the Play Billing Library |
| 170 | +# Access in your script as: BillingClient.PurchaseState.PURCHASED |
| 171 | +enum PurchaseState { |
| 172 | + UNSPECIFIED, |
| 173 | + PURCHASED, |
| 174 | + PENDING, |
| 175 | +} |
| 176 | +``` |
| 177 | + |
| 178 | +If a purchase is in a `PENDING` state, you should not award the contents of the purchase or do any further processing of the purchase |
| 179 | +until it reaches the `PURCHASED` state. If you have a store interface, you may wish to display information about pending purchases |
| 180 | +needing to be completed in the Google Play Store. |
| 181 | + |
| 182 | +For more details on pending purchases, see [Handling pending transactions](https://developer.android.com/google/play/billing/integrate#pending) in |
| 183 | +the Google Play Billing Library documentation. |
| 184 | + |
| 185 | +## Consumables |
| 186 | + |
| 187 | +If your in-app item is not a one-time purchase but a consumable item (e.g. coins) which can be purchased multiple times, you can consume an item |
| 188 | +by calling `consume_purchase()` passing the `purchase_token` value from the purchase dictionary. |
| 189 | + |
| 190 | +Calling `consume_purchase()` automatically acknowledges a purchase. |
| 191 | + |
| 192 | +Consuming a product allows the user to purchase it again, it will no longer appear in subsequent `query_purchases()` calls unless it is repurchased. |
| 193 | + |
| 194 | +Example use of `consume_purchase()`: |
| 195 | + |
| 196 | +```gdscript |
| 197 | +func _process_purchase(purchase): |
| 198 | + if "my_consumable_iap_item" in purchase.product_ids and purchase.purchase_state == BillingClient.PurchaseState.PURCHASED: |
| 199 | + # Add code to store payment so we can reconcile the purchase token |
| 200 | + # in the completion callback against the original purchase |
| 201 | + billing_client.consume_purchase(purchase.purchase_token) |
| 202 | +
|
| 203 | +func _on_consume_purchase_response(result: Dictionary): |
| 204 | + if result.response_code == BillingClient.BillingResponseCode.OK: |
| 205 | + print("Consume purchase success") |
| 206 | + _handle_purchase_token(result.token, true) |
| 207 | + else: |
| 208 | + print("Consume purchase failed") |
| 209 | + print("response_code: ", result.response_code, "debug_message: ", result.debug_message, "purchase_token: ", result.token) |
| 210 | +
|
| 211 | +# Find the product associated with the purchase token and award the |
| 212 | +# product if successful |
| 213 | +func _handle_purchase_token(purchase_token, purchase_successful): |
| 214 | + # check/award logic, remove purchase from tracking list |
| 215 | +``` |
| 216 | + |
| 217 | +## Acknowledging purchases |
| 218 | + |
| 219 | +If your in-app item is a one-time purchase, you must acknowledge the purchase by calling the `acknowledge_purchase()` function, passing |
| 220 | +the `purchase_token` value from the purchase dictionary. If you do not acknowledge a purchase within three days, the user automatically |
| 221 | +receives a refund, and Google Play revokes the purchase. |
| 222 | + |
| 223 | +If you are calling `consume_purchase()` it automatically acknowledges the purchase and you do not need to call `acknowledge_purchase()`. |
| 224 | + |
| 225 | +Example use of `acknowledge_purchase()`: |
| 226 | + |
| 227 | +```gdscript |
| 228 | +func _process_purchase(purchase): |
| 229 | + if "my_one_time_iap_item" in purchase.product_ids and \ |
| 230 | + purchase.purchase_state == BillingClient.PurchaseState.PURCHASED and \ |
| 231 | + not purchase.is_acknowledged: |
| 232 | + # Add code to store payment so we can reconcile the purchase token |
| 233 | + # in the completion callback against the original purchase |
| 234 | + billing_client.acknowledge_purchase(purchase.purchase_token) |
| 235 | +
|
| 236 | +func _on_acknowledge_purchase_response(result: Dictionary): |
| 237 | + if result.response_code == BillingClient.BillingResponseCode.OK: |
| 238 | + print("Acknowledge purchase success") |
| 239 | + _handle_purchase_token(result.token, true) |
| 240 | + else: |
| 241 | + print("Acknowledge purchase failed") |
| 242 | + print("response_code: ", result.response_code, "debug_message: ", result.debug_message, "purchase_token: ", result.token) |
| 243 | +
|
| 244 | +# Find the product associated with the purchase token and award the |
| 245 | +# product if successful |
| 246 | +func _handle_purchase_token(purchase_token, purchase_successful): |
| 247 | + # check/award logic, remove purchase from tracking list |
| 248 | +``` |
| 249 | + |
| 250 | +## Subscriptions |
| 251 | + |
| 252 | +Subscriptions work mostly like regular in-app items. Use `BillingClient.ProductType.SUBS` as the second argument to `query_product_details()` |
| 253 | +to get subscription details. Pass `BillingClient.ProductType.SUBS` to `query_purchases()` to get subscription purchase details. |
| 254 | + |
| 255 | +You can check `is_auto_renewing` in the a subscription purchase returned from `query_purchases()` to see if a user has cancelled an auto-renewing subscription. |
| 256 | + |
| 257 | +You need to acknowledge new subscription purchases, but not automatic subscription renewals. |
| 258 | + |
| 259 | +If you support upgrading or downgrading between different subscription levels, you need to use `update_subscription()` to call the subscription update flow |
| 260 | +to change an active subscription. |
| 261 | + |
| 262 | +Like `purchase()`, results are returned by the `on_purchases_updated` signal. |
| 263 | + |
| 264 | +These are the parameters of `update_subscription()`: |
| 265 | + |
| 266 | +```gdscript |
| 267 | +old_purchase_token: String # The purchase token of the currently active subscription |
| 268 | +replacement_mode: ReplacementMode # The replacement mode to apply to the subscription |
| 269 | +new_product_id: String # The product ID of the new subscription to switch to |
| 270 | +base_plan_id: String # The base plan ID of the target subscription |
| 271 | +offer_id: String # The offer ID under the base plan (optional) |
| 272 | +is_offer_personalized: bool # Whether to enable personalized pricing (optional) |
| 273 | +``` |
| 274 | + |
| 275 | +The replacement modes values are defined as: |
| 276 | + |
| 277 | +```gdscript |
| 278 | +# Access in your script as: BillingClient.ReplacementMode.WITH_TIME_PRORATION |
| 279 | +enum ReplacementMode { |
| 280 | + # Unknown... |
| 281 | + UNKNOWN_REPLACEMENT_MODE = 0, |
| 282 | +
|
| 283 | + # The new plan takes effect immediately, and the remaining time will be prorated and credited to the user. |
| 284 | + # Note: This is the default behavior. |
| 285 | + WITH_TIME_PRORATION = 1, |
| 286 | +
|
| 287 | + # The new plan takes effect immediately, and the billing cycle remains the same. |
| 288 | + CHARGE_PRORATED_PRICE = 2, |
| 289 | +
|
| 290 | + # The new plan takes effect immediately, and the new price will be charged on next recurrence time. |
| 291 | + WITHOUT_PRORATION = 3, |
| 292 | +
|
| 293 | + # Replacement takes effect immediately, and the user is charged full price of new plan and |
| 294 | + # is given a full billing cycle of subscription, plus remaining prorated time from the old plan. |
| 295 | + CHARGE_FULL_PRICE = 5, |
| 296 | +
|
| 297 | + # The new purchase takes effect immediately, the new plan will take effect when the old item expires. |
| 298 | + DEFERRED = 6, |
| 299 | +} |
| 300 | +``` |
| 301 | + |
| 302 | +Example use of `update_subscription`: |
| 303 | + |
| 304 | +```gdscript |
| 305 | +billing_client.update_subscription(_active_subscription_purchase.purchase_token, BillingClient.ReplacementMode.WITH_TIME_PRORATION, "new_sub_product_id", "base_plan_id", "new_user_offer_id", false) |
| 306 | +``` |
