Forum ‹ PayVault ‹ PayVault is not available for non-paid games

[btafel]

Hi, I've just started using Yahoo Games Networks services and I'm running into an issue when try to test the PayVault service.

Any API call that I do i receive this error: PayVault is not available for non-paid games.

Looks like I should have a Plus account or something like that inherited from PlayerIO service, but I find no way to get that service on Yahoo Games Network.

Thanks for your help.

Sorry about that, it's a bug on our end. We'll make it available to all YGN users shortly.

[btafel]

Thanks Henrik for the quick reply. Any idea on timeframe? It is important to know since we are planning our game lunch soon.

Thanks!

Hi,

I also got this error in my test-canvas. When will this be fixed?

thanks a lot!

[btafel]

I think it is fixed already.... at least it works for me now

[ySandsOfTimey]

Hi,

I still got this error. Might there be anything obvious I could have forgot? Some setting maybe?

[btafel]

if you paste your code I may be able to help

Hi btafel,

as3-code here:

Code: Select all

var _items:Array = new Array();
_items.push({"itemKey":"doublebomb"});
client.yahoo.payments.showBuyItemsDialog(_items,null,success,error);

success and error are functions, in error I display the PlayerIOError.message

Does that help? Indeed I don't know whether the second parameter can be "null", but all methods in client.yahoo.payments. give me the
"PayVault is not available for non-paid games" message. I added an item with the itemKey "doublebomb" in the settings.

Thanks in advance!

[btafel]

it looks OK.. I think somebody from IO or Yahoo should help here, maybe there is still a bug on their side

Hi all,
I add a complete list of what I have done / how my configuration looks like. Maybe anybody could give me a hint what could be wrong. Of course, help from a IO / Yahoo internal would also be cool

PayVault->Configure PayVault
- I have a check at „Enable PayVault for Yahoo!“
- Yahoo! Coin Price Point: „100USD=50,200USD=125“

PayVault->Items
- I added a new Item with the key „doublebomb“ (just for testing purposes)

Settings->Connections
- in „public“ I simply checked every checkbox (Of course I will uncheck some later, but I think it’s easier to test / describe here). So I also have checked all under the „PayVaultItems“ headline
- Authentication: Yahoo Games Network

YahooGames->Canvas Setup
- checked: „Enable Canvas“, „Require Login“, „Include User GamerName in UserToken“, „Include User’s Avatar in UserToken“
- Canvas Connection: „public“

By the way: I couldn’t find out why and where I need the „Game Secret“, maybe that does have something to do with my issue?

YahooGames->Payments
- Payment Admin User: I added my userID there. I’m assuming it’s the ID I get in client.yahoo.profiles.myProfile.userId , is that correct?
- PayVault Coin Price Points: „100USD=50,200USD=125“
- Not checked is „Payment Callbacks To My Server“, do I need that?

My Game is hosted on GameFS. I have an Index.html - file which passes a userToken as flashvar to my flash-game. I think this is working, since the authentication is working and I can connect.
To connect, in as3 I do:

Code: Select all

PlayerIO.authenticate(stage, GAME_ID, "public", { userToken: myStage.loaderInfo.parameters.usertoken },null, startOnlineInitialisation, errorOnlineInitialisation);


I get The userID, profilePic, etc. all correct.

What I have also in my .html-file is the following javaScript:

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript" id="yahooscript">
            window.YahooGamesSetup = {
                userToken=gup('usertoken'),
                resizeCanvasInterval: 100
            };
         
            // load YahooGames.js
            (function (src, t) {
                document.write('<b>Hello World</b>');
                var s = document.createElement('script');
                s.id = 'yahooscript'; s.type = 'text/javascript';
                s.async = true; s.src = src;
                if (!document.getElementById(s.id)){
                    document.getElementsByTagName(t)[0].appendChild(s)
                }
            } ('//games.yahoo.com/yahoogames.js', 'head'));
</script>

I have read that I need that to display some share dialog and stuff. But the call

Code: Select all

client.yahoo.payments.showBuyItemsDialog

is also not showing anything.

My problem is still the call:

Code: Select all

client.yahoo.payments.showBuyCoinsDialog

or something like:

Code: Select all

var _items:Array = new Array();
_items.push({"itemKey":"doublebomb"});
client.yahoo.payments.showBuyItemsDialog(_items,null,success,error);

it always returns:
"PayVault is not available for non-paid games" in my error-callback.

thanks in advance! I will give anyone who has a hint / can help a lot of bunus-items for my new game when it's done (which will be soon, when I have solved all the problems described here)

[ySandsOfTimey]

SOLVED!

wow, how stupid someone can be: I had to "switch to new pricing plan" in my account. I simply overlooked that option in my account-settings.
I feel a little-bit ashamed but also very happy to have this finally solved

[Henrik]

Don't feel bad, it's a bit weird for people that signed up before we changed to Yahoo Games Network and are still on the old grandfathered free - and limited - pricing plans, when all the documentation says everything is available for everyone.

Do you still have an issue with ShowSendDialog?

[ySandsOfTimey]

Hi Henrik,

thanks for your words
