    Hi, I am sorry to be such a newb, but I have a unity "game" i developed that is actually a way for users to design their own character that they can order as an actual toy that is mailed to them. I am trying to figure out the best way to add a shopping cart/payment system, with in app purchase ability as well. Any suggestions or information would be wonderful! It also has to connect to the user account database I am adding in.

    Also, I am looking to hire someone to do this for me in case it requires more skill than I have.

    Thank you!

    We have a tutorial that walks through most of the process of setting up IAP in your project here:
    https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/topics/ads-analytics/integrating-unity-iap-your-game

    One thing that isn't covered is how to set up your products in the different app stores, but the Manual has you covered there:
    Apple: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/UnityIAPAppleConfiguration.html
    Google Play: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/UnityIAPGoogleConfiguration.html
    And there are also guides for Amazon, Windows Store, Samsung Galaxy, Tizen and CloudMoolah.

    You may be interested to know that Unity has it's own social network / talent marketplace called Unity Connect. You can post a job to find skilled developers or you can post your projects and find a gig.

    Actually you are not allowed to sell physical goods via the in-app purchase systems provided on the App Stores. For example, on Google Play:

    https://play.google.com/intl/en-US/about/monetization-ads/index.html

    You would need to use an external payment system integration, like PayPal, for selling such kind of goods. Currently I'm working on adding PayPal support to Simple IAP System (our asset sold on the Unity Asset Store) which will be available very soon.
