Virtual currency is virtual money that is used for purchasing and selling in-game items. Depending on its purpose, a virtual currency affects the game economy balance or is connected to the monetization of the app. You can also create hard currency — a virtual currency that is linked to the platform of purchase and can be purchased only for real money.
You can sell the virtual currency in predefined amounts. For a package, you can define a special price that doesn’t equal the amount of virtual currency in it.
See the Virtual currency section to learn more about virtual currency.
