The App Scheme is required to make the paywall preview work.
You need to handle deeplinks as well for your application to give it the SDK to open the paywall preview.

You can configure it for your Android app by referring to the following document

1. Paste your App scheme in the Purchasely Console in the field App Scheme

The access key is provided by Google and is linked to a service account. This access key is mandatory for Purchasely to make requests to Google API and validate purchase receipts.
To retrieve follow the steps below:

1. Enable API on Google Cloud
2. Create a new Service Account
3. Grant access to Service Account

You will need to enable 2 APIs on Google Cloud Console

1. Create or select your existing project
2. Enable Android Developer API

3. Enable Developer Reporting API

Create a dedicated Service Account under the Google Cloud Platform Console
Google Cloud Platform > IAM & admin > Service Account > Create a new Service Account

Check the selected project

Before creating the service account, make sure that the relevant Project is selected. The drop-down menu in the upper left corner of the screen shall match the Organisation you have set in the previous step

1. Name your account Purchasely to be able to easily identify it later

2. Give it the ID purchasely

3. On the following screen, give the role "Pub/Sub Admin" to the service account

   • Purchasely uses this role to set up the server-to-server notifications with Connect to Google. The Console also uses this role to show the setup status.
   • After the setup, you can remove the role. The notifications continue to work, but the Console can no longer show the setup status.
   • If you do not want to give this role, skip this step and configure the notifications manually. The service account then needs no Google Cloud role.

4. On the following screen, note the email generated by Google for your Service Account

   • It should look like [email protected]

5. Create a key by clicking on the + Create a key button

6. Choose JSON format to download the file

⚠️

Up to 72 hours delay

Once you grant access to the Service Account for your application, it may take up to 72 hours for the changes to take effect on Google’s side. During this time, the Service Account will be updated with the proper access rights to the selected applications.

Grant access to the Service Account under the Google Play Console
Google Play Console> Users & Permissions > Invite new users

Then complete the 3 following steps

1. Set the email of your service account
2. Set "no expiration date" by leaving the "Set access expiry date" unchecked
3. Add your application
4. Select it
5. Apply

Once you've clicked on Apply, make sure the following permissions are selected:

• View app information and download bulk reports
• View financial data, orders, and cancellation survey responses
• Manage orders and subscriptions

Finally, click on Invite user to grant access to your service account

We connect to Google Cloud Pub/Sub automatically for you by using your service account access.
Finalize the S2S connection by clicking on Connect to Google in the Purchasely Console and let it guide you.
If you already have it configured with your own server or another provider, after clicking on the button select the topic that you have configured. Purchasely will add a subscription to the same topic to also receives notifications without other steps required on your side.

🚧

Manual configuration

Connect to Google needs the "Pub/Sub Admin" role on the service account of your Access Key. If the button shows an error or does not show, check these items:

• The Access Key is valid.
• The service account of the Access Key has the "Pub/Sub Admin" role.

You can also configure Server to Server notifications manually. After the setup, you can remove the role. The notifications continue to work, but the Console can no longer show the setup status.
