Updated:

• Information about promotions in the catalog API calls. You can now show how many products a single user can buy in the catalog. This allows you to increase the average income that you can receive from a single user.

Added:

• Setting the number of available promotions per user. You can create personalized promotions that are limited by the number of purchases. This personalization option helps sell something unique related to certain events in a game. Promotions that are available to a certain number of players are more likely to be sold. Examples:
  • a unique 100,000 gold promotion available after a certain point in the game
  • rare armor that the boss drops and there will be no other chance to get it
  • first 1,000 players receives 100 diamonds in addition to the starter pack
• Managing the catalog personalization logic on your side. You can now send the list of available items via webhooks from in-game services. Products are filtered twice: when a user browses the catalog, and when the user makes a purchase. You can specify which item should be hidden or shown as unavailable for purchase, e.g., if an item has already been purchased in the game.
