In-App Products

Aptoide Connect offers flexible options for managing your In-App Products. If your application is available on Google Play, the products can be set automatically. As users make purchases, Aptoide Connect will populate the list of products, fetching their details and prices at the reference price from Google Play without requiring any manual input.

For those who prefer more control, In-App Products can also be managed manually through the Aptoide Connect Console.

To access the In-App Products section, navigate to your application’s App Details menu. Click on My Apps, select the application you wish to manage, and then open the In-App Products tab.

Once in that tab, you will be able to select either "Manual" or "Automatic" at the top of the screen to choose how you want to manage your application's In-App Products.

Within this section, you can add new products, edit existing ones, and manage their status. To deactivate or reactivate a product, simply click the toggle in the Status column.

Automatic In-App Products

The product list is automatically updated whenever a user purchases an item that hasn’t been previously listed. Once the item is added, you have the flexibility to manage it as needed. You can easily deactivate or reactivate any product by toggling the switch under the Status column.

🚧

Products are only fetched from Google Play once

When the Automatic In-App Products option is enabled, your application's products are fetched automatically but only if they aren't already present on Aptoide Connect. This implies that once a product is imported from Google Play initially, there won't be any further attempts to retrieve that specific product from Google Play again.

Manual In-App Products

By choosing the Manual option in the In-App Products tab of your Aptoide Connect Developer Console, you can take full control over managing your application’s In-App Products.

There are two ways to set product prices:

• Add them individually for precise management.
• Import a CSV file to add prices in bulk for greater efficiency.

Adding In-App Products individually

To add a single In-App Product to your application, click on the "Add" button.

A window will pop up where you will have to add all the information and specificities of the product, such as the name of the SKU, the title of the item, the description, and the price. After adding all the relevant information, click on Add to finish the process.

Adding In-App Products in bulk by importing a CSV file

To upload products to Aptoide Connect, you can import a CSV file, either exported from Google Play or from another application you have on Aptoide Connect. This allows for easy replication of product lists across multiple applications if needed. To import the CSV file, simply click on Import CSV at the top of the In-App Products menu and upload your file. Additionally, you can export your current product list and use it to populate another application with the same products for seamless consistency.

An example of how the file has to be organized is:
Product ID,Published State,Price,Language; Title; Description
sword.020,published,PT; 5,en; Sword 1; Big sword 1

The parameters that need to be filled in are the following:

1. Product ID = SKU
2. Published State = Status
3. Price = Default Price
4. Language = Language (inside the product)
5. Title = Title
6. Description = Description (inside the product)

Product ID: This is the name of the SKU. It can only have lowercase letters, numbers, underscores (_) and periods (.); eg.: sword.020
Published State: The status of the product, if it is live/active or not. I can either be either published or not published
Price: The value and currency of the product. It needs to be a 2-digit country code and a numerical value; eg.: PT; 5
Language: It must be a 2-digit language code; eg.: en
Title: The title of the product and what the end-user sees when making a purchase; eg.: Sword 1. If you do not want anything here, you can write null.
Description: The description of the product and what the end-user sees when making a purchase; eg.: Big sword 1. If you do not want anything here, you can write null.

The uploaded file must be a .csv file. We recommend editing the file using a program that allows the structure to stay intact, such as Notepad or VS Code.

To define the currency, the country code of the currency must be inputted. For example, for the currency to be EUR, it is necessary to use a country code such as FR (France) or PT (Portugal) because both countries use EUR as their official currency.

It is possible to input several currencies into the same product all at once. An example of that would be:
Product ID,Published State,Price,Language; Title; Description
sword.020,published,US; 5; BR; 2,en; Sword 1; Big sword 1
Here, the product would have 2 different prices: 5 USD and 2 BRL. It can also be:
Product ID,Published State,Price,Language; Title; Description
sword.3,published,AS; 100; BQ; 100; EC; 100; FM; 100; GU; 100; IO; 100; MH; 100; MP; 100; PR; 100; PW; 100; SV; 100; TC; 100; TL; 100; UM; 100; US; 100; VG; 100; VI; 100; BR; 200; CA; 100,en; Sword 3; Small sword
Where all the regions that use USD are stated and, if you wish to do so, you can have a different price for different regions that use the same currency.

The reference price is set according to the first 2-digit country code uploaded. For example, on
Product ID,Published State,Price,Language; Title; Description
sword.020,published,FR; 5; US; 2,en; Sword 1; Big sword 1
the reference price will be 5 EUR.

When submitting several products at once, the format will be:

Product ID,Published State,Price,Language; Title; Description
sword.3,published,AS; 100; BQ; 100; EC; 100; FM; 100; GU; 100; IO; 100; MH; 100; MP; 100; PR; 100; PW; 100; SV; 100; TC; 100; TL; 100; UM; 100; US; 100; VG; 100; VI; 100; BR; 200; CA; 100,en; Sword 3; Small sword
sword.020,not published,AD; 5; AT; 5; AX; 5; BE; 5; BL; 5; CY; 5; DE; 5; EE; 5; ES; 5; FI; 5; FR; 5; GF; 5; GP; 5; GR; 5; IE; 5; IT; 5; LU; 5; LV; 5; MC; 5; ME; 5; MF; 5; MQ; 5; MT; 5; NL; 5; PM; 5; PT; 5; RE; 5; SI; 5; SK; 5; SM; 5; TF; 5; VA; 5; XK; 5; YT; 5,ar; Sword 7; Biggest sword
sword.001,published,AS; 3; BQ; 3; EC; 3; FM; 3; GU; 3; IO; 3; MH; 3; MP; 3; PR; 3; PW; 3; SV; 3; TC; 3; TL; 3; UM; 3; US; 3; VG; 3; VI; 3,en; Sword 1; Big sword
sword.22,published,AS; 3; BQ; 3; EC; 3; FM; 3; GU; 3; IO; 3; MH; 3; MP; 3; PR; 3; PW; 3; SV; 3; TC; 3; TL; 3; UM; 3; US; 3; VG; 3; VI; 3; AD; 1; AT; 1; AX; 1; BE; 1; BL; 1; CY; 1; DE; 1; EE; 1; ES; 1; FI; 1; FR; 1; GF; 1; GP; 1; GR; 1; IE; 1; IT; 1; LU; 1; LV; 1; MC; 1; ME; 1; MF; 1; MQ; 1; MT; 1; NL; 1; PM; 1; PT; 1; RE; 1; SI; 1; SK; 1; SM; 1; TF; 1; VA; 1; XK; 1; YT; 1,en; Sword 22; Smallest Sword

If you wish to update the product, you can import the CSV file maintain the Product ID and change all the other parameters. To add more prices in bulk, the price you currently have needs to be included, or else it will be replaced by the other prices on the CSV file.
As long as the Product ID is the same, all other fields when changed and imported via CSV will be updated. This way, it is possible to bulk update your SKUs' information.

We support Google Play's products CSV file

We also support Google Play's products in CSV format. You can download your product list from Google Play and directly import it on our platform.

Different prices and currencies

A single product can have multiple prices and currencies. Even if products are automatically fetched from Google Play, they can still be edited in the console. To modify a product, click on its price to open the details page, then select Edit to update the product's information, adjust a specific price, or remove existing prices.

To add a new price, simply click on Add Price at the bottom of the details page.

In the pop-up menu, you can input your desired price, select the currency, and optionally set it as the reference price.

🚧

Reference price

If the retail price for a specific currency is not specified, the charged amount for such currencies will be automatically converted from the reference price at the moment of purchase.
You can flag a price as a reference when editing any price, but you won't be able to delete a flagged price

To edit an existing price for a product, click on the note-and-pencil icon next to the price you want to modify. This will allow you to adjust the price, change the currency, and set it as the reference price if desired.
