This page discusses some improvements to In-app Payments for the Marketplace.

Issues

  • Developers have to manage the in-app keys.
  • Developers require a server to store the in-app keys.
  • Developers respond to payment notices for success or failure.
  • Marketplace doesn't know anything about an in-app payment, meaning purchase history and refunds are empty.

Proposed solution

  • App developers enters in a product and price on the Mozilla Marketplace developer hub and gets a URL for example /mozpay/product/shiny-pony/buy.
  • User clicks a Buy button.
  • App does a POST to /mozpay/product/shiny-pony/buy
    • That initiates a transaction on the server.
    • Server contacts the marketplace to record start of the transaction.
      • Is there an issue here with matching up Marketplace persona accounts? (no, because we'll be using device receipts)
    • Creates the JWT and returns it to the client
    • The client receives the JWT and passes it to mozPay.
  • App polls the server waiting for a completed purchase...
  • When completed a receipt is returned to the client
  • App verifies the receipt is correct for that app.
    • App verifies the receipt against the receipt verification.
  • App grants access to product purchased.
  • User can revisit the marketplace and get a list of completed in-app payments. [out of scope]
    • Users can click a button to get a receipt for an in-app payment.
      • App should check the receipt is correct for that app.
      • App verifies the receipt against the receipt verification.

Issues

  • Refunds and chargebacks will still need a server, although we will report that on a reciept check.
  • Lots of products?
  • revoking / updating receipt - ie. for subscription products?
  • developer testing
  • Current in app payment tester http://inapp-pay-test.paas.allizom.org/
  • Multiple payment providers?
    • eg: create bango account, create in app payment, create timwe account then what happens
  • Existing https://github.com/mozilla/receiptverifier
