first time purchase and discount packages

Postby RalliContest » January 14th, 2013, 9:57 pm

Hi guys,
I'm currently thinking about how to set up all the payvault stuff for my upcoming game.
I'd like to implement things like a discount on the first purchase and packages of items that are discounted.
How do you handle such stuff?
Do you have extra payvaultitems with discounted price for all of them and give the user the correct items for free then? That would be my first idea...

Any ideas are welcome!

Yes, for package discounts, set up a "package" item for purchase, that you then exchange in server-side code for the actual items. That sounds like the best solution for that.

It's harder to make a restriction saying a certain item can only be bought once. You can of course not display it, but if a user re-sends the purchase request for it, he can buy it again. But I mean, he would still have to spend actual money, so I wouldn't worry about that case. :-)
