Consumable Product?

Greetings,
On the developer website, Add an in-channel product, I see "One-Time Purchase" as an option under "Purchase Type"
However the SDK docs imply that one time purchase is not an option:
https://sdkdocs.roku.com/display/sdkdoc ... Purchasing

Anyone know about these?

Glancing through the documentation I didn't see anywhere that it states that a One-Time Purchase of a consumable product isn't an option, but I do use them in one of my channels. Users are able to purchase the same product again and again.

Re: Consumable Product?

Thanks, I'm glad it works, but the docs don't mention it at all!
How do you know if the transaction succeeded?  Is there a way to validate a consumable was purchased?

Re: Consumable Product?

I'm not sure what you're asking. Within the channel/app, you just get whether or not the purchase succeeded from roChannelStore like any other purchase. I can get a history of transactions from https://developer.roku.com/transactions, but to be honest I don't really keep track of whether or not a user purchased a one-time consumable since the user can purchase the same thing over and over again.
