Processing Refunds?
-
Hi there.
I am currently making a mobile application that utilizes Unity's IAP library to manage IAP. I also use you guys for data storage and receipt validation.
I am currently testing refund scenarios and am not seeing much on Braincloud API in regards to refunds.
I currently call a cloud code script from my client that performs a VerifyPurchase call to validate the receipt, and then I can ensure receipt has purchaseState:1 (GooglePlay receipt). At this point I can revoke the purchase in the cloud code script.
I am noticing that with this method, the cancelled receipt does not show up in the user's Transaction log, only the original purchase receipt shows up (purchaseState:0).
Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks,
Davis -
Hi Davis,
brainCloud does not currently support processing of refunds.
You could potentially create an owned custom entity collection to store the details of refunded collections in - so that you would have an entry against that user.
Note - you could also use a user entity for such data - but custom entities have the advantage of being globally searchable -- i.e. you can easily search for all refunds in the system.
Note - global entities are less ideal - they don't scale as well. Not recommended for data associated with users that could conceivably scale over time.

Thanks for the response Paul.
So using "User Entities" I can record the refund receipt with the User, but it won't show up in the transaction log in the portal.
Via Custom Entities I could have a globally searchable refund receipt, but I need to pay for a Plus plan to get this functionality, and still I assume it won't show up in transaction view.
Just confirming that there's no way for this to show up in the user transaction log in the portal right now?

Apologies but no - there isn't currently a way to have refunds appear in the transaction logs for users in the portal.

@Paul-Winterhalder It'd be great if we can have this info. +1
