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 :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 :doc:`Developer mode <../../general/developer_mode/activate>`, 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: `In-App Purchase
