Overview

This event occurs when a microtransaction (in-app purchase) has been approved or denied by the currently logged in user.

You can receive these events by adding a listener to the plugin via the steamworks.addEventListener() function.

Note

Steam only supports microtransactions via web APIs and it does not track purchased products. Steam only dispatches events providing the order ID of approved purchases made by the user. The order ID is defined by the app developer when issuing a request via Steam's web APIs and it's up to the app developer to track purchased products via these order IDs. Please see Steam's microtransaction documentation for more details.

        -- It's up to the app developer to finalize purchase with received order ID
        local orderId = event.orderId
    else
        -- User has canceled the purchase
    end
end
