<\/p>\nPosted by Laura Nechita \u2013 Product Manager, Google Play and Rejane Fran\u00e7a \u2013 Group Product Manager, Google Play<\/em><\/p>\n Starting today, Google Play is revamping the way developers can manage one time products, providing greater flexibility and new ways to sell. Play has continually enhanced the ways developers can reach buyers by helping you to diversify the way you can sell products.\n<\/p>\n Starting in 2022, we created more flexibility for subscriptions<\/a> and a new Console interface. And now, we are bringing the same flexibility to one-time products, aligning the taxonomy for our one-time products. Previously known as in-app products, one-time product purchases are a vital way for developers to monetize on Google Play. As this business model continues to evolve, we’ve heard from many of you that you need more flexibility and less complexity in how you offer these digital products.<\/p>\n To address these needs, we’re launching new capabilities and a new way of thinking about your products that can help you grow your business. At its core, we’ve separated what the product is from how you sell it<\/b>. For each one-time product, you can now configure multiple purchase options<\/b> and offers<\/b>. This allows you to sell the same product in multiple ways, reducing operational costs by removing the need to create and manage an ever-increasing number of catalog items<\/b>.<\/p>\n You might have already noticed some changes as we introduce this new model, which provides a more structured way to define and manage your one-time product offerings.<\/p>\n <\/image><\/p>\n We’re introducing a new three-level hierarchy for defining and managing one-time products. This new structure builds upon concepts already familiar from our subscription model and aligns the taxonomy for all of your in-app product offerings on Play.<\/p>\n This allows for a more organized and efficient way to manage your catalog. For instance, you can have one “Diamond sword” product and offer it with a “Buy” purchase option in the US for $10 and a “Rent” purchase option in the UK for \u00a35. This new taxonomy will also allow Play to better understand what the catalogue means, helping developers to further amplify their impact in Play surfaces.<\/p>\n The new model unlocks significant flexibility to help you reach a wider audience and cater to different user preferences.<\/p>\n To use these new features you first need to upgrade to PBL 8.0. Then, you’ll need to utilize the new monetization.onetimeproducts<\/span> service of the Play Developer API or use the Play Developer Console. You’ll also need to integrate with the queryProductDetailsAsync<\/span> API to take advantage of these new capabilities. And while querySkuDetailsAsync<\/span> and inappproducts<\/span> service are not supported with the new model, they will continue to be supported as long as PBL 7 is supported.<\/p>\n We encourage you to explore the new Play Developer API and the updated Play Console interface to see how this enhanced flexibility can help you better manage your catalog and grow your business.<\/p>\n We’re excited to see how you leverage these new tools to connect with your users in innovative ways.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEjwDL8qeaY0sC7SCv2mucvT-Xqh11hBuF6_C_WoqO2o9oc7LFwUS_V3PCTLr6_y-2vNJUeXepBvtHEl-fbhycSx62vFUF4Ij_lctJN0BCJNM5K6FLYY7Y7abXTlYvya2h8ZG3T3RbjNUlpQ6BVUKkDQqRIJnQB82h7R-RFI75zH98b_N71Lego4rA5LUh0\/s1600\/GooglePlayBiz_Hero_Monetization.jpg\")
