    What type of promo code are you referring to? How are your users getting the code?

    Hello Jeff,

    Android, I know how to generate the code in Play console.

    I will send it to a selected number of users using email, but instead of redeeming it in the store I want to redeem it through the app, also the purchases in our app is a monthly subscription, will it be possible to give a one month free using promo codes?

    Thanks.

    The in-game feature is not currently supported. However, if the user redeems their promo code in Google Play, the hope is that a ProcessPurchase will be triggered upon IAP initialization, but I haven't tested it.

    Hi @Splatoon3DS ,

    I'm not sure exactly how to help you, since I can't see your custom implementation of a 3DS store. I do know that in the case of other stores, entering a promo code will award the item in-app when purchases are retrieved on initialization or when a restore purchase is called. In specific app store implementations, we also poll the store for new purchases when the game is unpaused (usually because changing apps or entering a promo code promt in an OS layer to enter a code pauses the game).

    It's possible your custom store will retrieve the purchases appropriately when retrieving/restoring them. You'd have to test it.
