Detailed Description

In-app purchasing allows a user to buy items without leaving VR, using the credit card they have on file with Oculus. There are two different types of IAP: consumable and durable.
Durable: This type is considered 'single use unlock'; once it has been purchased, it cannot be purchased again. For example, you might provide your app for free with a demo level and use an in-app purchase to unlock the rest of the game.
Consumable: This type can be purchased multiple times. Examples of consumable IAP include 'character lives' or 'coins'. These items must be 'consumed' before they can be purchased again. Consumable IAP items that have been purchased, but not consumed will be returned as part of ovr_IAP_GetViewerPurchases().

IAP items are defined in the developer dashboard, found at https://dashboard.oculus.com/application/[YOUR_APP_ID]/iap.
Each IAP item is defined with a "SKU" (a unique identifier for referring to the item), a description (shown in the checkout flow), and a price.
To handle special behaviors like sales or special offers, we recommend creating a new SKU (e.g "game-unlock-sale") with a custom price, and use your game logic to display that to a specific set of people or for a specific amount of time.

A typical use of IAP is structured like so:
  1. On startup, fetch the user's current purchases with ovr_IAP_GetViewerPurchases(). If any of the results are consumable, consume them now.
  2. Call ovr_IAP_GetProductsBySKU() to retrieve a list of products. If you've hard-coded this list into your app and don't need to show prices, this may be optional.
  3. When the user chooses to purchase an item, call ovr_IAP_LaunchCheckoutFlow()
  4. (for consumables): call ovr_IAP_ConsumePurchase() to consume the item, allowing later re-purchase.

You can create a set of Test Users for your organization, which have permission to purchase IAP items / applications without needing real money. These users only work within applications in your organization. Test users can be created at https://dashboard.oculus.com/organizations/[YOUR_ORG_ID]/testusers. Once the test user has been created, you can add special credit cards that have different properties. NOTE: these cards only work with test users and they can only be used within your organization. When using these cards, you can enter any address and expiration date as long as it's valid.

In some cases you would like to query for purchase information from your game server rather than from the client. For example, to avoid cheating you may want to maintain the user's balance of coins on the server. The available API calls are:

$ curl -d "access_token=$USER_ACCESSTOKEN" -d "sku=EXAMPLE1" https://graph.oculus.com/$APPID/verify_entitlement
{"success":true}


$ curl  -d "access_token=$USER_ACCESSTOKEN" -d "sku=EXAMPLE1" https://graph.oculus.com/$APPID/consume_entitlement
{"success":true}
After consumption the use is no longer entitled to the item: 
$ curl  -d "access_token=$USER_ACCESSTOKEN" -d "sku=EXAMPLE1" https://graph.oculus.com/$APPID/verify_entitlement
{"success":false}


$ curl -G -d "access_token=$USER_ACCESSTOKEN"  -d "fields=id,item{sku}" https://graph.oculus.com/$APPID/viewer_purchases
{"data":[{"id":"963119010431337","item":{"sku":"EXAMPLE1"}}]}

  • At the moment there is no support for selling a single item with multiple currencies.
  • All IAP operations require online access. A future update will support offline caching of IAP purchases.

Function Documentation

ovrRequest ovr_IAP_ConsumePurchase ( const char * sku )
Allow the consumable IAP product to be purchased again. Conceptually, this indicates that the item was used or consumed.
A message with type ovrMessage_IAP_ConsumePurchase will be generated in response.
First call ovr_Message_IsError() to check if an error occurred.
This response has no payload. If no error occured, the request was successful. Yay!
ovrRequest ovr_IAP_GetNextProductArrayPage ( ovrProductArrayHandle handle )
Get the next page of entries
A message with type ovrMessage_IAP_GetNextProductArrayPage will be generated in response.
First call ovr_Message_IsError() to check if an error occurred.
If no error occurred, the message will contain a payload of type ovrProductArrayHandle. Extract the payload from the message handle with ovr_Message_GetProductArray().
ovrRequest ovr_IAP_GetNextPurchaseArrayPage ( ovrPurchaseArrayHandle handle )
Get the next page of entries
A message with type ovrMessage_IAP_GetNextPurchaseArrayPage will be generated in response.
First call ovr_Message_IsError() to check if an error occurred.
If no error occurred, the message will contain a payload of type ovrPurchaseArrayHandle. Extract the payload from the message handle with ovr_Message_GetPurchaseArray().
ovrRequest ovr_IAP_GetProductsBySKU ( const char ** skus, int count )
Retrieve a list of IAP products that can be purchased.
Parameters
skus
The SKUs of the products to retrieve.
count
Number of items you provided in the SKUs.
A message with type ovrMessage_IAP_GetProductsBySKU will be generated in response.
First call ovr_Message_IsError() to check if an error occurred.
If no error occurred, the message will contain a payload of type ovrProductArrayHandle. Extract the payload from the message handle with ovr_Message_GetProductArray().
ovrRequest ovr_IAP_GetViewerPurchases ( )
Retrieve a list of Purchase that the Logged-In-User has made. This list will also contain consumable purchases that have not been consumed.
A message with type ovrMessage_IAP_GetViewerPurchases will be generated in response.
First call ovr_Message_IsError() to check if an error occurred.
If no error occurred, the message will contain a payload of type ovrPurchaseArrayHandle. Extract the payload from the message handle with ovr_Message_GetPurchaseArray().
ovrRequest ovr_IAP_LaunchCheckoutFlow ( const char * sku )
Launch the checkout flow to purchase the existing product. Oculus Home tries handle and fix as many errors as possible. Home returns the appropriate error message and how to resolveit, if possible. Returns a purchase on success, empty purchase on cancel, and an error on error.
Parameters
sku
IAP sku for the item the user wishes to purchase.
A message with type ovrMessage_IAP_LaunchCheckoutFlow will be generated in response.
First call ovr_Message_IsError() to check if an error occurred.
If no error occurred, the message will contain a payload of type ovrPurchaseHandle. Extract the payload from the message handle with ovr_Message_GetPurchase().
