Setting Up Your Checkout Experience

If you don't yet have developer dashboard access, please fill out the form on our homepage, and we'll reach out to you soon to facilitate access. Through the dashboard, you'll complete the initial checkout experience setup and download your API keys. We use the dashboard to configure:

your checkout experience's look and feel
the payment methods you want Neon to offer your players
the method by which Neon will collect your players' identifying information in the checkout experience, for fulfillment purchases
other set-it-and-forget-it configuration

If Neon is powering your storefront, please continue reading. If you are using Neon's checkout experience as a standalone product, you can skip the next section.

Checkout with Neon powered storefront

If you are using Neon's storefront product, the Neon storefront will automatically create and launch a checkout flow for you. There is a one-to-one relationship between storefronts and checkout experience, and the checkout experience will inherit the operating mode, sandbox vs production, from your storefront. You'll have a single set of API keys to manage your storefront, associated checkout experience, and any purchases that are created through the checkout experience.

Given the Neon storefront will create and launch checkout experiences on your behalf, you can skip Initiating Your Checkout and jump directly to Updating Your Game.

Checkout with your own storefront

Each checkout experience instance you set up in the dashboard will have a set of API keys that you'll use to access our APIs. Checkout experiences can either be in sandbox or production mode. Transactions in sandbox mode do not result in money movement, meaning no payment methods are processed, and no money moves into your bank account. Sandbox mode allows you to test your integration and checkout experience aesthetics before going live.

The API keys associated with a checkout experience are used to manage associated purchases as well through our purchase API collection.
