Platogo Blog

Just a week ago we launched our Facebook Wrapper and provided you with tools to publish your games on Facebook easily. Now it's time for you to finally earn some money with your finely crafted game.

Add buyable items in your Platogo backend. Then you can start selling in-game items and upgrades to gamers with just one line of code.

     PlatogoAPI.microtransactionService.buyItem( "tunnels", 1, buyItemHandler );

That's all there is to it! Gamers can now buy items directly within your game.

To be notified when a gamer buys an item from the shop, just add a callback:

     PlatogoAPI.registerBuyItemCallback( buyItemHandler );

For more detailed examples please have a look at our API Documentation:
MicrotransactionService.buyItem
PlatogoAPI.registerBuyItemCallback

If you have any questions, ideas or problems please use our feedback forum. We love to help!
