Logging purchases

Record in-app purchases so that you can track your revenue over time and across revenue sources, as well as segment your users by their lifetime value.

Braze supports purchases in multiple currencies. Purchases that you report in a currency other than USD will be shown in the dashboard in USD based on the exchange rate at the date they were reported.

Before implementation, be sure to review examples of the segmentation options afforded by custom events, custom attributes, and purchase events in our Best practices.

To use this feature, add the following method call after a successful purchase in your app:

1
AppboyBinding.LogPurchase("product_id", "currencyCode", price(decimal));

This method logs a purchase with a quantity of one. If you want to pass in a different quantity, you can call the following method:

1
AppboyBinding.LogPurchase("product_id", "currencyCode", price(decimal), quantity(int));

Quantity must be less than or equal to one hundred. Braze also supports adding metadata about purchases by passing a Dictionary of purchase properties:

1
AppboyBinding.LogPurchase("product_id", "currencyCode", price(decimal), quantity(int), properties(Dictionary<string, object>));

Log purchases at the order level

If you want to log purchases at the order level instead of the product level, you can use order name or order category as the product_id. Refer to our purchase object specification to learn more.
