Can a IAP change a Attribute?

In the game Im making a IAP store. To stick with the story line. My store will allow you to purchase certain flavors of gems. These gems once purchased can be sold at a "BlackMarket" for Credits. Credits are the game currency. Different types of gems are worth a certain amount of credits.

Example: In the game you are able to collect low level gems. At the "Black Market" you can sell these in game gems for credit. In the IAP store you can purchase better quality gems for real money. And sell them at the ( Black Market ) for larger amount of credits.

So I want to be able to sell a IAP package. After the IAP is successfull The "integer" attribute called Emerald Pack will be changed to Emerald Pack+1.

I dont know how the app store communicates with our games. This is my first IAP store for a GS project.

Can someone help me understand the breakdown?

    Yep, it can change an attribute to that attribute+X. Those are for consumable items - Which is what you'd want.

    I made a few videos showing you how to set IAP up...Take a look.

    Loved the VIDS

    But in real life..... I would have to decide what to name my Product IDs while building the game. Before submiting to app store. then submit app. then set up the iap info at itunes connect. Remembering what I named the ProductIDs earlier before submittion.

    Am i understanding that correctly.

    You set everything up prior to submitting to the App Store. I usually finish my game, then set up my IAP scene. That way I set up all IAP related stuff at the same time. It's a hassle if you start that process at the beginning of development.

    So I can go to ITC and set up a IAP thing by saying hey this is the game im working on, this is the name of it and this is the productid I will be using in its construction? In your video you used a previously made game. Thats what is confusing me.

    But I think I get it. when im ready I will have GShelper help me out.
