info

In-App purchase tracking will work only in connection with Adjust/AppsFlyer. To connect them, follow this guide for Adjust and this guide for AppsFlyer.

It's possible to track in-app purchase information and send info to Appodeal servers for analytics. It allows to group users by the fact of purchasing in-apps. This will help you to adjust the ads for such users or simply turn it off, if needed. To make this setting work correctly, please submit the purchase info via the Appodeal SDK.

  2. Allow us to test purchases in your app and send us the testflight to email support@appodeal.com.

Step 3. Testing

After you have contacted our Support Team and provided all the required information you can test your app to make sure purchases are validated.
