Product Registration

Register and manage product information for sale. When registering a product, the product name, price, currency, product type, etc., are retrieved based on the product ID set during registration to proceed with the payment. The product ID is a unique identifier used to distinguish and manage products.
Choose to register mobile payment products or PC payment products depending on the environment in which the app will be serviced.

• Mobile Payment Product Registration: Used when providing mobile apps through stores like Google Play Games or the Apple App Store. When registering a product, select 'Mobile · Store Payment' as the classification value.
• PC Payment Product Registration: Used when providing apps in a PC environment, such as PG payment or the Steam store. When registering a product, select 'PG · Steam Payment' as the classification value.

To register a product in the Hive console, you need the product ID created in each store console, such as App Store Connect and Google Play Console.

Things to Know¶

Notes on Registering PG Payment Products¶

This is a note to be careful only when operating multiple channels that apply PG payments, such as Apple PG and web store PG, and using the refund user re-payment feature.
If you use the same product ID across different channels but set different prices, when the refund user re-payment feature operates, the user will be recharged with the product amount of the newly accessed channel, not the amount they initially paid. To prevent this, if you want to operate the same product at different prices, please create and use different product IDs.

When using PG payment at Apple¶

To provide both App Store and Apple PG payments in the US region, all products must be registered under a single Apple App ID.

Product Management¶

Product Usage Status¶

To change the usage status of a product, select the relevant product from the list and click the [Select Usage Status] button. Each time you click, the current status will toggle, so a product that is 'in use' will switch to 'not in use', and a product that is 'not in use' will immediately revert to 'in use'.

Product Synchronization¶

• Cache Refresh: When you register or modify a product, the cache is automatically refreshed to ensure that changes are immediately reflected in the app. However, if the changes are not reflected in the app due to issues such as server errors, please click the [Refresh Cache] button manually. (Supported only in SDK v4.16.3 and above.)
• Sandbox Synchronization: Clicking the [Sandbox Synchronization] button copies the product information registered in the production console directly to the sandbox environment. There is no need to register the same information separately in the sandbox.
