General information
You can monetize a game by selling the following items in the in-game store:
- Virtual currency (e.g., coins, crystals)
- Virtual items (e.g., grenades, bullets)
- Bundles — a set of several items sold as a single unit
The item catalog solution is based on the In-Game Store product. Catalog management (e.g., adding and editing items, setting prices in real and virtual currencies) is performed in Publisher Account in the Store section.
You can run promotions with coupons and promo codes to increase your sales. To do this, set up a promotional campaign in Publisher Account in the Store > Promotions section.
