Products represent the items or features that are offered to players through various offers, such as bundles, special offers, or popups. These products define what players can see in the offers and ultimately what they can purchase. Products can be virtual goods, time-based offers, or any item you wish to sell within your game or app. Configuring these products correctly ensures they are presented as intended within different offer formats.
When setting up products, assets (such as images) are associated with them to visually represent what is being offered. There are two ways to upload assets when configuring products:
Note: Uploading the asset to the Assets Library beforehand is a prerequisite if you want control over the asset ID during product creation.
If you want to assign a specific ID to the product asset before using it, follow these steps to upload it via the Assets Library:
Once you have uploaded the image to the Assets Library, you can use it when configuring or editing your products in the Products tab.
To configure products in the dashboard, follow the steps below:
‘Products’ Tab: Navigate to the ‘Products’ tab in the Appcharge dashboard.
Add a New Product: Click on the ‘Add New Product’ button to create a new product.
General Settings: Enter the required details such as:

Products assets: Upload a Product Image and Prefix Image, or select one that you have already uploaded to the Assets Library and configured as a product.
Note: The product image appears above the item’s quantity in offers.
Save the product: Click Save.
Note: If you upload an asset here, it will automatically be saved to the Assets Library, but you will not be able to change its ID afterward.
