Unity Buy SDK

Deprecated

As of July 1, 2023 the Unity Buy SDK is no longer supported. For more information, please see the SDK Alternatives section below.

You can use the Unity Buy SDK to integrate physical products directly into games and apps made with the Unity game engine.

Requirements

• You've created a development store or have a production store.
• You've created products or collections in your store.

Step 1: Generate an access token

To generate an access token, you can generate one in the Shopify admin. Alternatively, you can create a custom app and use authorization code grant.

Step 2: Make your products and collections available

After you've generated an access token, you need to make products and collections available to your custom app to access them from your app. After the products and collections are available, you can retrieve them using their respective IDs.

Tip

If you have many products or collections, then you can use bulk actions to make them available in one step.

Make a product available

1. From your Shopify admin, go to Products.
2. From the Products page, click the product you want to make available.
3. Next to SALES CHANNELS AND APPS click Manage.
4. In the Sales channels and apps dialog box, select the box next to the name of your custom app.

Make a collection available

1. From your Shopify admin, go to Products and click Collections.
2. From the Collections page, click the collection you want to make available.
3. Next to SALES CHANNELS AND APPS click Manage.
4. In the Sales channels and apps dialog box, select the box next to the name of your custom app.

Step 3: Access the Unity Buy SDK

Using the Unity Buy SDK, you can do the following:

• Fetch information about products on your Shopify store
• Create an in-game shopping cart where customers can add products
• Generate a checkout for customers to purchase products

Note

This SDK is compatible with Unity versions up to 2019.x.
