Shop

Players can utilize their in-game economy with Shop module from Yarsa Play. Tokens, credits, gems, coins, or points, acquired through gameplay achievements, microtransactions, or rewards from events and challenges can be used to make these purchases in-game.

With the Shop module, you can:

  • Fully customize your shop items to meet your game's requirements.

  • Offer individual items or create player-friendly bundles with item combos, providing flexibility in your game's economy.

  • Maintain complete control over pricing strategies. For example, in games that use both coins and gems for transactions, certain items can be purchased with only coins, only gems, or a combination of both.

This feature, facilitated by Yarsa Play, promotes in-app purchases (IAP). It proves particularly beneficial for indie or small-scale game developers facing challenges in managing game monetization, as items can be purchased with in-game currency or microtransactions.
