How to try account linking in demo

You can implement the following features by linking a player’s account on different platforms to the main account:

  • automatic player identification on different platforms
  • manage a single cross-platform inventory on different platforms

Use demo maps to check the linking of platform accounts to the main account for a preset Publisher Account project.

Note
You can link only one account of each platform to the main account.

To try account linking in a demo project:

  1. Go to your UE4 project in Unreal Editor.
  2. Set up the demo map to log in to the application via the platform account:
    1. Go to Settings > Project Settings > Plugins > Xsolla Login. Enable the Use Cross-Platform Account Linking option. Specify Platform and Platform Account ID.

    1. Go to Settings > Project Settings > Plugins > Xsolla Store. Enable the Use Cross-Platform Account Linking option. Select the same Platform as in Xsolla Login.

  1. Start the Demo_Store demo map from the Content Browser > Xsolla Content > Maps folder. The demo simulates authentication via the platform account, so you automatically authenticate and proceed to the in-game store.

  1. Click User account and then Account linking in the demo map. The demo project will open in the default browser to simulate the start of the application on another platform.

  1. Click Create an account.

  1. Specify email and password. Click Accept and create.

  1. Select an item in the catalog and click Buy on Xsolla. Purchase the item using one of the test bank cards. Close the receipt.

  1. Click on the email at the top of the screen to open the menu. Click Inventory. Make sure that the purchased item is available in the inventory.

  1. Click Get code. Click Request the code in the opened window. Write down the received account linking code.

  1. Go to the UE demo map.
  2. Enter the received account linking code (see step 9) and click Confirm.

  1. Now the platform account is linked to the main account. Make sure that the purchased item is available in the inventory of the demo map.

  1. Since this account is already linked to the main account, you can get the account linking code from it. Click Get account link. Write down the received code.

  1. Set up the demo map to log in to the application via another platform account (see step 2). The Publishing platform should be different from the one selected in step 2.
  2. Start the Demo demo map from the Content Browser > Xsolla Content > Maps folder.

  1. Make sure the player’s inventory is empty.
  2. Click Account linking. Stay in the UE demo map.

  1. Enter the received account linking code (see step 13) and click Confirm.

  1. Now the account from the new platform is also linked to the main account. Make sure that the purchased item is available in the inventory of the UE demo map.

Follow the recipe to configure account linking for your project.
