     27 <p>In-app billing frees you from processing financial transactions, but you still need to perform a
     28 few administrative tasks, including setting up and maintaining your product list on the Google Play
     29 Developer Console, registering test accounts, and handling refunds when necessary.</p>
     30 
     31 <p>You must have a Google Play publisher account to register test accounts. And you must have a
     32 Google Wallet merchant account to create a product list and issue refunds to your users. If you
     33 already have a publisher account on Google Play, you can use your existing account. You do not
     34 need to register for a new account to support in-app billing.</p>
     35 
     36 <p>If you do not have a publisher account, you can register as a Google Play
     37 developer and set up a publisher account at the <a
     38 href="http://play.google.com/apps/publish">Google Play Developer Console</a>. If you do not
     39 have a Google Wallet merchant account, you can register for one through the
     40 Developer Console.</p>
     41 
     42 <h2 id="billing-list-setup">Creating a Product List</h2>
     43 
     44 <p>The Google Play Developer Console provides a product list for each of your published
     45 applications. You can sell an item using Google Play's in-app billing feature only if the item is
     46 listed on an application's product list. Each application has its own product list; you cannot sell
     47 items that are listed in another application's product list.</p>
     48 
     49 <p>You can access an application's product list by clicking the <strong>In-App Products</strong>
     50 link in applications listed in your developer account (see
     51 figure 1). The <strong>In-App Products</strong> link appears only if you have a Google Wallet
     52 merchant account and the application's manifest includes the <code>com.android.vending.BILLING</code>
     53 permission.</p>
     54 
     55 <p>A product list specifies items you are selling in an application &mdash; in-app products,
     56 subscriptions, or a combination of both. For each item, the product list contains information such as a product id,
     57 product description, and price. The product list stores only metadata about the items
     58 you are selling in your application. It does not store any digital content. You are responsible for
     59 storing and delivering the digital content that you sell in your applications.</p>
     60 
     61 <div style="margin:1em;">
     62 <img style="border:1px solid #ddd;padding-bottom:.5em" src="{@docRoot}images/in-app-billing/billing_product_list.png" xheight="548" id="figure1" />
     63 <p class="img-caption" style="padding-left:.5em;">
     64   <strong>Figure 1.</strong> You can access an application's product list by clicking the
     65   <strong>In-App Products</strong> link in the main Apps navigation.
     66 </p>
     67 </div>
     68 
     69 <p>You can create a product list for any published application or any draft application that's been
     70 uploaded and saved to the Developer Console. However, you must have a Google Wallet merchant
     71 account and the application's manifest must include the <code>com.android.vending.BILLING</code>
     72 permission. If an application's manifest does not include this permission, you will be able to edit
     73 existing items in the product list but you will not be able to add new items to the list. For more
     74 information about this permission, see
     75 <a href="{@docRoot}google/play/billing/billing_integrate.html#billing-permission">Updating Your
     76 Application's Manifest</a>.</p>
     77 
     78 <p>In addition, an application package can have only one product list. If you create a product
     79 list for an application, and you use the <a
     80 href="{@docRoot}google/play/publishing/multiple-apks.html">multiple APK feature</a> to distribute
     81 more than one APK for that application, the product list applies to all APK versions that are
     82 associated with the application listing. You cannot create individual product lists for each APK if
     83 you are using the multiple APK feature.</p>
     84 
     85 <p>You can add items to a product list two ways: you can add items one at a time by using the In-app
     86 Products UI (see figure 2), or you can add a batch of items by importing the items from a
     87 comma-separated values (CSV) file. Adding items one at a time is useful if your
     88 application has only a few in-app items or you are adding only a few items to a
     89 product list for testing purposes. The CSV file method is useful if your application has a large
     90 number of in-app items.</p>
     91 
     92 <p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> Batch upload of product lists containing subscriptions is not yet supported.</p>

     94 <h3 id="billing-form-add">Adding items one at a time to a product list</h3>
     95 
     96 <p>To add an item to a product list using the In-app Products UI, follow these steps:</p>
     97 
     98 <ol>
     99   <li><a href="http://play.google.com/apps/publish">Log in</a> to your publisher account.</li>
    100   <li>In the <strong>All Google Play listings</strong> panel, under the application name, click
    101   <strong>In-app Products</strong>.</li>
    102   <li>Click <strong>Add new product</strong> (see figure 2) and provide details about the item you are
    103   selling and then click <strong>Save</strong> or <strong>Publish</strong>.</li>
    104 </ol>
    105 
    106 <div style="margin:1em;">
    107 <img style="border:1px solid #ddd;padding-bottom:.5em;" src="{@docRoot}images/in-app-billing/billing_add.png" height="300" id="figure2" />
    108 <p class="img-caption" style="padding-left:.5em;">
    109   <strong>Figure 2.</strong> The Add New Product page lets you add items to an
    110   application's product list.
    111 </p>
    112 </div>
    113 
    114 <p>You must enter the following information for each item in a product list:</p>
    115 <ul>
    116   <li><strong>In-app Product ID</strong>
    117     <p>Product IDs are unique across an application's namespace. A product ID must start with a
    118     lowercase letter or a number, and must be composed using only lowercase letters (a-z), numbers
    119     (0-9), underlines (_), and dots (.). The product ID "android.test" is reserved, as are all
    120     product IDs that start with "android.test."</p>
    121     <p>In addition, you cannot modify an item's product ID after it is created, and you cannot reuse
    122     a product ID.</p>
    123   </li>
    124   <li><strong>Product Type</strong>
    125     <p>The product type can be <strong>Managed per user account</strong>, <strong>Unmanaged</strong>,
    126     or <strong>Subscription</strong>. You can never change an item's product type after you set it. For more
    127     information, see <a href="#billing-purchase-type">Choosing a product type</a> later in this
    128     document.</p>
    129   </li>
    130   <li><strong>Publishing State</strong>
    131     <p>An item's publishing state can be <strong>Published</strong> or <strong>Unpublished
    132     </strong>. To be visible to a user during checkout, an item's publishing state must be set to
    133     <strong>Published</strong> and the item's application must be published on Google Play.</p>
    134     <p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> This is not true for test accounts. An item is visible to
    135     a test account if the application is not published and the item is published. See <a
    136     href="{@docRoot}google/play/billing/billing_testing.html#billing-testing-real">Testing In-app
    137     Billing</a> for more information.</p>
    138   </li>
    139   <li><strong>Languages and Translations</strong>
    140     <p>You can provide localized titles and descriptions for your in-app
    141     products using the Add Translations button. If you want Google Play to translate
    142     your title and description for you, based on the title and description in the
    143     default language, just click the languages that you want to offer. If you want
    144     to provide custom translations in specific languages, you can also do that. By
    145     default, an in-app product inherits its default language from the parent
    146     application.</p>
    147   </li>
    148   <li><strong>Title</strong>
    149     <p>The title is a short descriptor for the item. For example, "Sleeping potion." Titles must be
    150     unique across an application's namespace. Every item must have a title. The title is visible to
    151     users during checkout. For optimum appearance, titles should be no longer than 25 characters;
    152     however, titles can be up to 55 characters in length.</p>
    153   </li>
    154   <li><strong>Description</strong>
    155     <p>The description is a long descriptor for the item. For example, "Instantly puts creatures to
    156     sleep. Does not work on angry elves." Every item must have a description. The description is
    157     visible to users during checkout. Descriptions can be up to 80 characters in length.</p>
    158   </li>
    159   <li><strong>Price</strong>
    160     <p>You must provide a default price in your home currency. You can also provide prices in other
    161     currencies, but you can do this only if a currency's corresponding country is listed as a
    162     target country for your application. You can specify target countries on the Edit Application
    163     page in the Google Play developer console.</p>
    164     <p>To specify prices in other currencies, you can manually enter the price for each
    165     currency or you can click <strong>Auto Fill</strong> and let Google Play do a one-time
    166     conversion from your home currency to the currencies you are targeting (see figure 3).</p>
    167     <p>For subscription items, note that you can not change the item's price once you have published it. </p>
    168   </li>

    186 
    187 <h3 id="billing-bulk-add">Adding a batch of items to a product list</h3>
    188 
    189 <p>To add a batch of items to a product list using a CSV file, you first need to create your CSV
    190 file. The data values that you specify in the CSV file represent the same data values you specify
    191 manually through the In-app Products UI (see <a href="#billing-form-add">Adding items one at a time
    192 to a product list</a>). 
    193 
    194 <p>If you are importing and exporting CSV files with in-app products, please
    195 keep tax-inclusive pricing in mind. If you use auto-fill, you can provide a
    196 tax-exclusive default price and tax-inclusive prices will be auto-filled. If you
    197 do not use auto-fill, prices you provide must include tax.</p>
    198 
    199 <p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> Batch upload of product lists containing subscriptions is not yet supported.</p>
    200 
    201 The CSV file uses commas (,) and semi-colons (;) to separate data values.
    202 Commas are used to separate primary data values, and semi-colons are used to separate subvalues. For
    203 example, the syntax for the CSV file is as follows:</p>
    204 
    205 <p>"<em>product_id</em>","<em>publish_state</em>","<em>purchase_type</em>","<em>autotranslate</em>
    206 ","<em>locale</em>; <em>title</em>; <em>description</em>","<em>autofill</em>","<em>country</em>;
    207 <em>price</em>"
    208 </p>
    209 
    210 <p>Descriptions and usage details are provided below.</p>
    211 
    212 <ul>
    213   <li><em>product_id</em>
    214     <p>This is equivalent to the In-app Product ID setting in the In-app Products UI. If you specify
    215     a <em>product_id</em> that already exists in a product list, and you choose to overwrite
    216     the product list while importing the CSV file, the data for the existing item is overwritten with
    217     the values specified in the CSV file. The overwrite feature does not delete items that are on a
    218     product list but not present in the CSV file.</p>
    219   </li>
    220   <li><em>publish_state</em>
    221     <p>This is equivalent to the Publishing State setting in the In-app Products UI. Can be <code>
    222     published</code> or <code>unpublished</code>.</p>
    223   </li>
    224   <li><em>purchase_type</em>
    225     <p>This is equivalent to the Product Type setting in the In-app Products UI. Can be <code>
    226     managed_by_android</code>, which is equivalent to <strong>Managed per user account
    227     </strong> in the In-app Products UI, or <code>managed_by_publisher</code>, which is equivalent
    228     to <strong>Unmanaged</strong> in the In-app Products UI.</p>
    229   </li>
    230   <li><em>autotranslate</em>
    231     <p>This is equivalent to selecting the <strong>Fill fields with auto translation</strong>
    232     checkbox in the In-app Products UI. Can be <code>true</code> or <code>false</code>.</p>
    233   </li>
    234   <li><em>locale</em>
    235     <p>This is equivalent to the Language setting in the In-app Products UI. You must have an entry
    236     for the default locale. The default locale must be the first entry in the list of
    237     locales, and it must include a <em>title</em> and <em>description</em>. If you want to provide
    238     translated versions of the <em>title</em> and <em>description</em> in addition to the default,
    239     you must use the following syntax rules:</p>
    240     <p>If <em>autotranslate</em> is <code>true</code>, you must specify the default locale,
    241     default title, default description, and other locales using the following format:</p>
    242     <p>"true,"<em>default_locale</em>; <em>default_locale_title</em>;
    243     <em>default_locale_description</em>; <em>locale_2</em>;    <em>locale_3</em>, ..."</p>
    244     <p>If <em>autotranslate</em> is <code>false</code>, you must specify the default locale,
    245     default title, and default description as well as the translated titles and descriptions using
    246     the following format:</p>
    247     <p>"false,"<em>default_locale</em>; <em>default_locale_title</em>;
    248     <em>default_locale_description</em>; <em>locale_2</em>; <em>locale_2_title</em>;
    249     <em>local_2_description</em>; <em>locale_3</em>; <em>locale_3_title</em>;
    250      <em>locale_3_description</em>; ..."</p>
    251     <p>See table 1 for a list of the language codes you can use with the <em>locale</em> field.</p>
    252   </li>
    253   <li><em>title</em>
    254     <p>This is equivalent to the Title setting in the In-app Products UI. If the <em>title</em>
    255     contains a semicolon, it must be escaped with a backslash (for example, "\;"). A backslash
    256     should also be escaped with a backslash (for example, "\\">.</p>
    257   </li>
    258   <li><em>description</em>
    259     <p>This is equivalent to the Description in the In-app Products UI. If the <em>description</em>
    260     contains a semicolon, it must be escaped with a backslash (for example, "\;"). A backslash
    261     should also be escaped with a backslash (for example, "\\">.</p>
    262   </li>
    263   <li><em>autofill</em>
    264     <p>This is equivalent to clicking <strong>Auto Fill</strong> in the In-app Products UI. Can be
    265     <code>true</code> or <code>false</code>. The syntax for specifying the <em>country</em>
    266     and <em>price</em> varies depending on which <em>autofill</em> setting you use.</p>
    267     <p>If <em>autofill</em> is set to <code>true</code>, you need to specify only the default
    268     price in your home currency and you must use this syntax:</p>
    269     <p>"true","<em>default_price_in_home_currency</em>"
    270     <p>If <em>autofill</em> is set to <code>false</code>, you need to specify a <em>country</em>
    271     and a <em>price</em> for each currency and you must use the following syntax:</p>
    272     <p>"false", "<em>home_country</em>; <em>default_price_in_home_currency</em>; <em>country_2</em>;
    273     <em>country_2_price</em>; <em>country_3</em>; <em>country_3_price</em>; ..."</p>
    274   </li>
    275   <li><em>country</em>
    276     <p>The country for which you are specifying a price. You can only list countries that your
    277     application is targeting. The country codes are two-letter uppercase
    278     ISO country codes (such as "US") as defined by
    279     <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2">ISO 3166-2</a>.</p>
    280   </li>
    281   <li><em>price</em>
    282     <p>This is equivalent to the Price in the In-app Products UI. The price must be specified in
    283     micro-units. To convert a currency value to micro-units, you multiply the real value by 1,000,000.
    284     For example, if you want to sell an in-app item for $1.99 you specify 1990000 in the
    285     <em>price</em> field.</p>

    364 <ol>
    365   <li><a href="http://play.google.com/apps/publish">Log in</a> to your publisher account.</li>
    366   <li>In the <strong>All Google Play listings</strong> panel, under the application name, click
    367   <strong>In-app Products</strong>.</li>
    368   <li>On the In-app Products List page, click <strong>Choose File</strong> and select your CSV
    369 file.
    370     <p>The CSV file must be on your local computer or on a local disk that is connected to your
    371     computer.</p>
    372   </li>
    373   <li>Select the <strong>Overwrite</strong> checkbox if you want to overwrite existing items in
    374   your product list.
    375     <p>This option overwrites values of existing items only if the value of the <em>product_id</em>
    376     in the CSV file matches the In-app Product ID for an existing item in the product list.
    377     Overwriting does not delete items that are on a product list but not present in the CSV
    378     file.</p>
    379   </li>
    380   <li>On the In-app Products List page, click <strong>Import from CSV</strong>.</li>
    381 </ol>
    382 
    383 <p>You can also export an existing product list to a CSV file by clicking <strong>Export to CSV
    384 </strong> on the In-app Product List page. This is useful if you have manually added items to
    385 a product list and you want to start managing the product list through a CSV file.</p>
    386 
    387 <h3 id="billing-purchase-type">Choosing a Product Type</h3>
    388 
    389 <p>An item's product type controls how Google Play manages the purchase of the item. There are
    390 several product types, including "managed per user account", "unmanaged," and "subscription." However,
    391 note that the product types supported vary
    392 across In-app Billing Version, so you should always choose a product type that's valid for the
    393 version of In-app BIlling that your app uses. </p>
    394 
    395 <p>For details, refer to the documentation for <a
    396 href="{@docRoot}google/play/billing/api.html#producttype">In-app Billing Version
    397 3</a> or <a href="{@docRoot}google/play/billing/v2/api.html#producttype">In-app
    398 Billing Version 2</a>.
    399 
    400 <h2 id="billing-refunds">Handling Refunds</h2>
    401 
    402 <p>In-app billing does not allow users to send a refund request to Google Play. Refunds for
    403 in-app purchases must be directed to you (the application developer). You can then process the
    404 refund through your Google Wallet merchant account. When you do this, Google Play receives a
    405 refund notification from Google Wallet, and Google Play sends a refund message to your
    406 application. For more information, see <a
    407 href="{@docRoot}google/play/billing/v2/api.html#billing-action-notify">Handling
    408 IN_APP_NOTIFY messages</a> and <a
    409 href="http://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1153485">In-app Billing
    410 Pricing</a>.</p>
    411 
    412 <p class="caution"><strong>Important:</strong> You cannot use the Google Wallet API to issue
    413 refunds or cancel In-app Billing transactions. You must do this manually through your Google
    414 Wallet merchant account. However, you can use the Google Wallet API to retrieve order
    415 information.</p>
    416 
    417 <h2 id="orderId">Working with Order Numbers</h2>
    418 
    419 <p>When a user purchases an in-app item, Google Wallet assigns the transaction
    420 a unique and permanent order number. Google Play provides that order number to
    421 you at the conclusion of the purchase flow, as the value of the
    422 <code>orderId</code> field of the <code>PURCHASE_STATE_CHANGED</code>
    423 intent.</p>
    424 
    425 <p>In your app, you can use the order number as a general-purpose identifier for
    426 the in-app purchase transaction. After the purchase, you can use the order
    427 number as a means of tracking the transaction in reconciliation reports and for
    428 customer support.</p>
    429 
    430 <p>The order number itself is a string consisting of numbers only, with a format
    431 assigned and managed by Google Wallet.</p>
    432 
    433 <p>For transactions dated 5 December 2012 or later, Google Wallet assigns a
    434 Merchant Order Number (rather than a Google Order Number) and reports the Merchant
    435 Order Number as the value of <code>orderID</code>. Here's an
    436 example:</p>
    437 
    438 <pre>"orderId" : "12999556515565155651.5565135565155651"</pre>
    439 
    440 <p>For transactions dated previous to 5 December 2012, Google checkout assigned
    441 a Google Order Number and reported that number as the value of
    442 <code>orderID</code>. Here's an example of an <code>orderID</code> holding a
    443 Google Order Number:</p>
    444 
    445 <pre>"orderId" : "556515565155651"</pre>
    446 
    447 <h2 id="billing-testing-setup">Setting Up Test Accounts</h2>
    448 
    449 <p>The Google Play Developer Console lets you set up one or more test accounts. A test account is a
    450 regular Google account that you register on the Developer Console as a test account. Test accounts are
    451 authorized to make in-app purchases from applications that you have uploaded to the Google Play
    452 Developer Console but have not yet published.</p>
    453 
    454 <p>You can use any Google account as a test account. Test accounts are useful if you want to let
    455 multiple people test In-app Billing on applications without giving them access to your publisher
    456 account's sign-in credentials. If you want to own and control the test accounts, you can create the
    457 accounts yourself and distribute the credentials to your developers or testers.</p>
    458 
    459 <p>Test accounts have three limitations:</p>
    460 
    461 <ul>
    462   <li>Test account users can make purchase requests only within applications that are already
    463   uploaded to your publisher account (although the application doesn't need to be published).</li>
    464   <li>Test accounts can only be used to purchase items that are listed (and published) in an
    465   application's product list.</li>
    466   <li>Test account users do not have access to your publisher account and cannot upload applications
    467   to your publisher account.</li>
    468 </ul>
    469 
    470 <p>To add test accounts to your publisher account, follow these steps:</p>
    471 
    472 <ol>
    473   <li><a href="http://play.google.com/apps/publish">Log in</a> to your publisher account.</li>
    474   <li>Click the <strong>Settings</strong> icon. (If you are using the old Developer Console UI, click
    475   <strong>Edit profile</strong> in the upper left part of the page, under your name,)</li>
    476   <li>Locate the License Testing panel. (In the old UI, scroll down to the Licensing &amp; In-app Billing panel.)</li>
    477   <li>Add the email addresses for the test accounts you want to register,
    478   separating each account with a comma.</li>
    479   <li>Click <strong>Save</strong> to save your profile changes.</li>
    480 </ol>
    481 
    482 <h3 id="license_key">Getting an app's license key</h3>
    483 
    484 <p>The Google Play Developer Console provides a public licensing key for each app. To get the key for an app,
    485 load the app's publishing details in the Developer Console and click the <strong>Settings</strong> icon. The key
    486 for the app is available for copy/paste in License Key for this Application field, as shown in the figure below.</p>
    487 
    488 <p>Previously, the Developer Console provided a single public key per developer account. To transition apps to the
    489 new per-app public key, the Developer Console set the app-specific key as the former developer key. This ensures
    490 compatibility for apps that depend on the (former) developer key. </p>
