Bundles

How it works

Bundle is a set of several items that are sold as a single unit.

Main features:

• Add items of different types to a bundle:
  • virtual currency (including the platform-dependent currency)
  • package of virtual currency
  • game keys for preselected DRMs
  • virtual items including nonrenewing subscriptions
  • bundles
• Configure the bundle pricing in real and virtual currencies.

A bundle automatically unpacks after:

• successful purchase
• successful granting to the player inventory via inventory management methods

Items delivery method from an unpacked bundle depends on the item type:

• virtual currency packages, virtual items, nonrenewing subscriptions, and bundles are delivered to:
  • inventory (default method)
  • PlayFab, if you configured the integration
• game keys are delivered to:
  • email (default method)
  • PlayFab, if you configured the integration

When the buyer returns the bundle by cancelling a transaction (for example), all granted items from the bundle are automatically withdrawn from the user. If they spent some of the items, the remaining items are still withdrawn.

Restrictions:

• You can’t add the following items to the bundle:
• the same bundle
• physical goods
• You can’t create an empty bundle.
• The bundle sales are paused after you run out of keys to sell and these keys are included in the bundle.
• The bundle price should be a fixed value of real and/or virtual currency.
• You can configure regional restrictions for a bundle only via API.

Who can use it

For partners who want to sell sets of items for a price lower than the initial total of all items in the bundle, which increases sales and helps to get new players, and who have integrated one of the following products (or both):

• In-Game Store with configured Virtual Items or Virtual Currency modules.
• Buy Button with the configured Game Keys module.
