Server Configuration


To enable mobile real currencies, there is a few server configuration requirements. It is easy to setup from the PlayFab side, but there are a few technicalities for each mobile platform.


  1. Create a PlayFab Account.

  2. Create a studio, then a title (game) in the studio.

  3. From the sidebar, click on the side-tab labeled Addons, it will show an item group of platform services.

  4. If you want to support Android services then install Google. If you want to support iOS services then install Apple. You can also install both. Each platform has their counterpart services for purchases, subscriptions and receipt validation. There are also unique features and services of each platform you might want to register with.

  5. Fill up each platform's requirements. This is the technical part, which can be a bit complicated without experience for each platform. However, rest assured, there are documentations for this provided by each platform. Google Search will be a great tool for this. Overtime, requirements change and Google, Apple and other services frequently change their documentation. Therefore, it is best to use a search engine to know how to retrieve the credential values they require instead since it becomes available immediately on their own documentations.

  6. After filling up the credential requirements for each platform, you then have completed the server configuration. You can now use the Real Currencies plugin in your project.
