740111 - Tell app developers/sellers how to validate receipts

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Developer Pages, defect, P1)

Description

[Christopher Van Wiemeersch [:cvan]]

There's a page on MDN https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Apps/Validating_a_receipt

We should link to this when you set up payments.

Can someone provide copy for this? "Learn how to protect your paid apps..." and so forth. And from which pages should be linking to the MDN page (Payments submission step, Manage Payments developer page, etc.)?

[Wil Clouser [:clouserw]]

I'll poke fligtar about this.  Moving to 6.5.4 due to offsite

Comment 3

[Justin Scott [:fligtar]]

"Learn about validating purchase receipts in your app"

I've added a link to MDN for validating receipts.

Right now the page is empty though. We should really, really get documentation on MDN that explains how to validate receipts. I think @andym and @gkoberger might be able to shed some light on this.

[Janet Swisher]

A link to the receipt spec is *not* a "how to". This is not yet resolved.

Comment 7

[Mark Giffin [:markg]]

I am adding a lot of docs right now to https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Apps/Validating_a_receipt.

Done within a couple days, will notify.

Comment 8

[Mark Giffin [:markg]]

This page is complete, sorry for late notification.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Apps/Validating_a_receipt

More will be added and improved but it's decent now.
