General guide about In-App Purchase (IAP)

Services
In-App Purchases (IAP) gives access to additional services through Odoo. For instance, it
allows me to send SMS Text Messages or to send Invoices by post directly from my
database.

Buying Credits
Each IAP Service relies on prepaid credits to work and has its own pricing. To consult my
current balance or to recharge my account, go to Settings ‣ Odoo IAP ‣ View my Services.

Tip
If I am on Odoo Online (SAAS) and have the Enterprise version, I benefit from free credits to test
our IAP features.

IAP accounts
Credits to use IAP services are stored on IAP accounts, which are specific to each service
and database. By default, IAP accounts are common to all companies, but can be restricted
to specific ones. Activate the Developer mode (../developer_mode/activate.html), then go to
Technical Settings ‣ IAP Account.

IAP Portal
The IAP Portal is a platform regrouping my IAP Services. It is accessible from Settings app ‣
Odoo IAP ‣ View my Services. From there, I can view my current balance, recharge my
credits, review my consumption and set a reminder to when credits are low.

Get notified when credits are low

To be notified when it’s time to recharge my credits, I’ll go to my IAP Portal through
Settings app ‣ Odoo IAP ‣ View my Services, unfold a service and mark the Receive
threshold warning option. Then, I’ll provide a minimum amount of credits and email
addresses. Now, every time that the limit is reached, an automatic reminder will be sent to
by email!

IAP services available

Different services are available depending on the hosting type of your Database:

Odoo Online (SAAS): only the IAP services provided by Odoo can be used (i.e. the SMS,
Snailmail, Reveal and Partner Autocomplete features);
Odoo.sh and Odoo Enterprise (on-premise): both the services provided by Odoo and by
third-party apps can be used.

Offering my own services

I am more than welcome to offer my own IAP services through Odoo Apps! It is the perfect
opportunity to get recurring revenue for an ongoing service use rather than — and
possibly instead of — a sole initial purchase. Please, find more information at: In-App
Purchase (https://www.odoo.com/documentation/14.0/webservices/iap.html)
