iap-drupalgap
In app purchase module for Drupalgap
Experimental project to add In-app-purchasing to Drupalgap using Cordova and the Fovea iap plugin. Pull requests are welcome. Only consumable products are supported.
Basic Preparation
A) Apple
Those are just the most important steps to get IAP up and running in IOS.
- Create an App id in Apple Developer
- Create a provisioning profile (with the device you are testing it on, enable inAppPurchasing) for the app
- Create an app in iTunesConnect (using the same ID as in the Apple developer console)
- Create some CONSUMABLE products (only they are supported at this point)
- Submit all documents to Apple (legal, tax)
Provided you follow the steps below, with this basic setup you should be able to connect to your iTunes store and pull your products from iTunesConnect. Check the console for something like
{"id":"90punkte","alias":"90 Punkte","type":"consumable","state":"valid","title":"90 Punkte","description":"90 Pumnlte fasfasd","price":"$8.99","currency":"USD","loaded":true,"canPurchase":true,"owned":false,"downloading":false,"downloaded":false,"transaction":null,"valid":true}

If you get an invalid product, this might help: http://troybrant.net/blog/2010/01/invalid-product-ids/
NOTES:
- In order to order/buy something you need to create a sandbox user (yes, you need to fill in a secret question)
- You need a physical device to make a purchase.
- When you have mutliple user buying something with the same device, an alert popup asking other user to login is called. This seems to be only a sandbox issue.
B) Drupal 7
Obviously, you need the DrupalGap module installed and enabled and have the application exported.
A transaction node is created in Drupal when an IAP order is completed/finished. So you need to create a content type called "transactions" in Drupal with corresponding permissions. If you do not want this just uncomment or delete the createTransactionNode call.
C) DrupalGap
*) Much useful information regading DrupalGap is at http://docs.drupalgap.org/7/Introduction/index *) DrupalGap installation details: http://docs.drupalgap.org/7/Install) *) Info on custom DrupalGap modules: http://docs.drupalgap.org/7/Modules/Create_a_Custom_Module
Generally, to enable in-app-purchasing you need to add this plugin when you install the DrupalGap SDK locally: https://github.com/j3k0/cordova-plugin-purchase (install with cordova plugin add cc.fovea.cordova.purchase)
When you have set up the basic app project locally (following the DrupalGap installation) this is what you need to do:
- Create a custom modules and iap folder and a ips.js file in your app so that you have such a folder structure (after you have exported DrupalGap to your local app project):
appname/www/app/modules/custom/iap/iap.js
-
Copy the content of iap.js from this repository in your local, empty iap.js file
-
enable the iap DrupalGap module in appname/www/app/settings.js like this:
/** Custom Modules - www/app/modules/custom **/
Drupal.modules.custom['iap'] = {};
- Make sure your product ID matches the variable (orderedProductID) that is passed via store.order(orderedProductID).
At this point the product IDs are hardcoded as radio button option values with a suffix added in the form_submit function. There certainly are better ways to dynamically populate the radio buttons.
function iap_payment_form_submit(form, form_state) {
try {
var selectedProduct = form_state.values['points'];
//console.log("selected Product " + selectedProduct);
var orderedProductID = selectedProduct + "punkte"; // you need to change this. Variable orderedProductID must match the productID of your product.
store.order(orderedProductID);
}
catch (error) { console.log('iap_payment_form_submit - ' + error); }
}
- Optional: Set a menu link on the home page or in the authenticated user menu (both in settings.js)
a) // App Front Page
drupalgap.settings.front = 'in-app';
b) Authenticated user menu add it to this array:
drupalgap.settings.menus['user_menu_authenticated'] = {
options: menu_popup_get_default_options(),
links: [
.
.
.
{
title: 'Get points',
path: 'appstore',
options: {
attributes: {
'data-icon': 'delete'
}
}
}
Make an IAP
- Log out from iTunes on your device (you do not need to log in as sandbox user there)
- open the app on your device
- log in with your Drupal account
- click the "Get points" menu link
- at this point you should be prompted to login to your iTunes account
- Enter the sandbox user credentials
- select a product, click "Buy" and "confirm"
If everything works, you just made a sandbox purchase with your mobile app and a Drupal transaction has been created.

and finally as I am not a developer and cannot focus much more on further development
WISHLIST:
- add loading indicators after clicking the "buy" button (should disappear when the "Confirmation popup" shows up)
- dynamic population of radio buttons (instead of hardcoding product IDs)
- support for other IAP product types (e.g. NON_CONSUMABLE)
- feedback on Android and Windows
