Testing Payments

Internal testing allows you to test the payments module integration with your app. You can add a test user to perform in-app purchases using the provided now.gg coins and test the complete purchase flow.

now.gg Payments service automatically detects a test user. As a test user, you do not have to spend real money to test in-app purchases.
While testing payments, only now.gg coins are accepted, while other payment methods will not work.
- now.gg coins are free and are added as an option to test the payments.

Important Information

In-app purchases using now.gg coins will not be included in financial reports generated by the Billing Service.
IP addresses originating from Mainland China are blocked on the Payment API service.
Developers located in Mainland China should use either a VPN or a static IP address from another country/region, such as Hong Kong, on their test machines to test IAP purchases using now.gg Payments.

We have also included a Demo APK in the download package.

You can install this app to understand the IAP payments flow using now.gg Payments.
