# How to create In-App purchases in Google Play Console

## Create matching in-app products and subscriptions in Google Play Console so purchases configured in the Buildfire Control Panel can be sold in your Android app.

When you create in-app purchases in Buildfire, you must also create the corresponding products in Google Play Console. The Product ID in Google Play **must exactly match** the Product ID created in the Buildfire Control Panel. This applies to consumables, non-consumables, and subscriptions.

---

#### **Requirements**

- You must be on a Growth or Scale plan to use in-app purchases
- You must have access to your Google Play Console account
- In-app purchases must already be created in the Buildfire Control Panel

### **How to create in-app purchases in Google Play Console**

1. Log in to **Google Play Console**
2. Select your app
3. In the left navigation, go to **Monetize**
4. Click **Products**, then choose one of the following based on the purchase type:

     - **One-time products** (for consumable and non-consumable purchases)
     - **Subscriptions**
5. Click **Create product**
6. Enter product details

     - **Product ID**

           1. Must exactly match the Product ID created in the Buildfire Control Panel
           2. This value is case-sensitive
     - **Name**

           1. This can be any internal name for your reference
7. Click **Next**
8. Set pricing

     - Choose **Market pricing**
     - Enter the price (for example, $9.00)
     - Apply pricing to all regions if needed
9. Activate the product

     - Save the product
     - Click **Activate**
10. Repeat steps 4–9 for each product you created in Buildfire:

      - Consumable products
      - Non-consumable products
      - Subscriptions
11. For subscriptions only

      - Go to **Subscriptions**
      - Create a new subscription
      - Use the same **Product ID**

            1. Must exactly match the Product ID created in the Buildfire Control Panel
            2. This value is case-sensitive
      - Set the billing period (weekly, monthly, yearly)
      - Create and activate a **Base plan**
      - Set pricing and activate

---

### **Pro tips**

- Android apps typically require only one app submission to enable in-app purchases, unlike iOS which requires resubmission for each new product
- Subscriptions require a base plan. Subscriptions will not activate until a base plan is created and published
- Test with licensed testers. Use Google Play Console’s license testing to validate purchases before publishing
