  • How do I display prices in my in-game shop? As I understand, I have two options:

    1. Display hard-coded prices in USD. When players click to purchase, they will see a pop-up window from Google Play or Appstore with the price in their local currency.

    2. Display the actual and up-to-date price in local currency. I see this in many popular games and this is obviously the preferred method. I tried testing this, but I couldn't spoof my country. Does ProductPrice(ProductID) expression always return the price with the currency code/symbol? How will it look like for countries which don't use dollar/pound/euro?

    For example, for Russian ruble - will it ‎be ₽ 100, or RUB 100, or Руб 100 ?

    I recommend this easy option, and it's also still commonly used. Looks cleaner especially with Spritefonts. 👍

  • Thanks!

    I actually managed to test in another country and the currency code was 3-letter ISO. However, for Australia and probably other dollar-countries it's just "$", which may be confusing. So I will take your advice and will list the prices in USD for now, it's easier.
