Enable Test Mode

Before you start testing payments​

  • Integrate the SDK that supports the payment testing function into the tested app — RuStore SDK billingclient 3.1.0or higher.

  • Make sure that the Android device on which you plan to test your app has RuStore version 1.29 or higher installed.

  • Make sure that your company is not blocked, that it has monetization enabled, and supports payment functionality in the app. You can set up subscriptions and paid products in RuStore Console, but not publish them to users.

Enable Test Mode​

You can test payments after moderation is completed and before you publish a new app version. You can also test purchases if an app has already been published.

Testing mode is enabled for the tester in the selected app only. At that, the same user will make real purchases in other applications. Besides, all other users in this application will make real purchases as well.

Test mode is disabled by default.

To enable test mode:

  1. Open RuStore Console.

  2. Select Applications from the top menu.

  3. Go to the Monetization → Test Payments tab.

  4. Switch to the Testers tab.

    If the tab displays the Add yourself to the list of testers window, click Become a tester.

  5. Deactivate the switch in the Test Mode section.

Upon turning on the test mode, the tester will make test purchases in your application, and purchases of products that have not yet been published will become available.
