About Price Localization for External Stores

This page provides an overview of the technical flows for integrating price localization in an external web store using Appcharge.

Note: You can read more about the two currently localization models that Appcharge offers in the Currency Localization Models documentation.

​

Price Points Localization in External Store

• Set up price points in USD in the Publisher Dashboard (see Price Points Dashboard Setup Guide), or create and manage them using the Price Points API.
• On your backend, retrieve localized prices using the Price Points API, for example with Get Price Points for a Country.
• Display the localized prices, formatted with the local currency and tax inclusive, on the store screen.
• When an offer is selected, call the Create Checkout Session API from your backend with the relevant localized price in the priceDetails property.

Currency Conversion in External Store

• Present prices in USD in the store phase.
• When an offer is selected, call the Create Checkout Session API from your backend using the relevant price in USD.
• The checkout process will automatically convert the USD amount to the player’s local currency.

Simple conversion model tax implications
Note that the tax will be cut out of the total price in ‘tax inclusive’ countries (which means that you will receive the USD amount minus the tax amount), and no rounding rules will be applied on localized prices.

For more detailed technical documentation on how to integrate these localization models, see the Price Points API documentation.
