In-App Purchases (IAP) gives access to additional services through Odoo. For instance, it allows you
|
|
|
|
|
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 :menuselection:`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 :ref:`developer mode <developer-mode>`, then go to :menuselection:`Technical
|
|
|
|
|
Settings --> IAP Account`.

IAP Portal
|
|
|
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The IAP Portal is a platform regrouping my IAP Services. It is accessible from
|
|
|
|
|
:menuselection:`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
|
|
|
|
|
:menuselection:`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: :doc:`In-App Purchase
