# 17.1 Android Setup

## Setup Payment Profile

From your **Google Developer Console Account > Setup > Payment Profile**, you need to add your payment profile. Like adding your bank account. If you have already added that, you can ignore it.

## License Testing Setup

In this step, you need to add some **testers** who can test the IAP product in the app and purchase points without any real payment.

**From your Google Developer Console Account > Setup > License testing**, Add some email addresses.

## Upload Initial Build at Google Play Store

To activate **IAP** for your app in the Google Play Store, you need to add the **billing permission** in the code section and upload an initial build at the Google Play Store as **Close Testing**. (Only the testers you will assign in the upcoming step can test the app). You shouldn't upload it on production.

#### Add the Billing Permission

From the App source code, Go to the **lms\_app/android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml** file and **enable** the selected line shown in the picture below. This permission will enable the billing and IAP at the Google Play Store.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you already uploaded your app in production and released it at the Google Play Store, you also need to follow the same step (Add billing permission and upload it as a Close Testing version).
{% endhint %}

Without uploading any new version in the **Closed Testing**, you won't see the IAP features.

{% hint style="info" %}
Before going to the next steps, make sure you have uploaded a new build in the Closed Testing and published it.
{% endhint %}

## Configure Subscriptions

After publishing a new version with Close testing, you will see the **Subscriptions** option on your app sidebar.

#### Create Subscriptions

From **Your App > Monetize >** **Subscriptions**, create a subscription by clicking on the **Create subscription** button.&#x20;

* Add **Product ID**.

{% hint style="info" %}
Product ID can be anything but unique. You must add the duration in days in your product ID. For example,&#x20;

**myplan\_7** (for 7 days),

**myanotherplan\_30** (for 30 days)
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
You can't use any other number in your product ID except the days. Example,

**myplan1\_30, myplan2\_365**

This is not acceptable.
{% endhint %}

Look at the shown below, you will understand how to use product IDs.

* Add **Product Name** which will be shown on the app.
* After creating the product, add subscription details > Description.

* Add base plan ID.

{% hint style="info" %}
You have to create a **base plan** for your product. You can create many base plans but only one will be active. A base plan ID can be anything but unique. No extra requirements for that.
{% endhint %}

* Select Type > Prepaid and select the plan duration.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Plan duration must be aligned with your product\_id. For example, if you select 1 week then your product ID must contain 7. If you select 1 month then your product ID must contain 30.
{% endhint %}

* Now save the base plan.

{% hint style="success" %}
That's it. Your first subscription plan has been created. This way you can create as many plans as you want. We have used 3 plans for our demo app.
