SKU

What is SKU?

A SKU (stock-keeping unit) is a unique identifier for each distinct purchasable item in your application. org.onepf.sku_tip, RED_HAT, 111111 are examples of SKUs. Usually, purchasable items and SKUs have a 1:1 mapping. Your app will pass the SKU value via the OpenIAB class to the client to identify the item. The SKU is how the client knows what the customer is trying to purchase, and will manage the purchase flow accordingly.

Before a SKU can be used, it must be configured via the Developer Console.

So different SKU

Different application stores use different SKU formats.

• For Google Play and the Open Stores:
• For Samsung Apps:
• For Nokia Store:

Thus, if you want to support stores that have different requirements about SKUs, you have to map them to smth more general. This is why in OpenIAB we have a predefined map for SKUs.
