Added:

• Limiting the number of goods (virtual items, virtual currency, game keys) available for purchase by one user. Goods that can only be purchased a limited number of times, e.g., unique items, motivate users to buy more.
• Buying a free item. You can now create and sell free goods (virtual items, virtual currency, game keys). You can use this feature to retain users, reward them, or motivate them to buy other goods.

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.

Added:

• The ability to configure catalog display rules based on user attributes that can be passed in a webhook response with the Login API or in a Pay Station token. To configure rules, click Store in the side menu in Publisher Account and go to the Catalog management block. Catalog personalization increases revenue and product value (LTV) in following ways:
  • motivates players to make the first purchase
  • increases conversion rate by letting you demonstrate only relevant items and offers
  • allows you to reward players with specific characteristics or achievements

Added:

• Distribution partners can validate if the user exists in the game before the user can make a purchase through their marketplaces.

• All Web Shop partners can personalize their offers to each user by showing them a specific list of goods. Personalization is set up via user attributes. User attributes can be passed in a webhook response with Login API or in a Pay Station token.
