Purchase Server

If you are selling mod.io virtual currency through a platform store, you will need a service to consume the virtual currency entitlements and apply them to player's mod.io account. The implementation option chosen should factor in the needs of your studio and if your organization has existing systems setup for handling In-App Purchases against third-party platforms or whether you want mod.io to assume responsibility for doing so.
