Commodity Management

To provide in-app purchases in the game, you must enter the in-app purchase information in the TapTap Developer Center and add it to your game. Each item must be associated with a game application (client) and can only be used for that game. You can create or delete items throughout the process, and you can also modify and improve the information of existing items.

Create in-game purchase items​

Before creating an in-game purchase item, please carefully plan your Item ID. The Item ID must be unique for your game and cannot be changed or reused after creation.

The Item ID must start with a number or a letter, have a maximum length of 30 characters, and can contain numbers (0-9), letters (a-z/A-Z), underscores (_) and periods (.).

You cannot change or reuse the Item ID after the item is created.
