Re: [android-developers] Discount Codes in Google Play - still impossible.
Someone pointed out to me that: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/3422659?hl=en Redeemed gift cards and some promotional codes appear on your account as part of your Google Play balance https://support.google.com/googleplay/topic/3421699/. Other promotional codes give you access to specific apps and digital content, and the download will be automatically added to your library after you redeem your code. So how do I create these other promotional codes that give access to specific apps and digital content? I'm guessing only the Google Play team can.

[android-developers] Discount Codes in Google Play - still impossible.
According to my best understanding, it is still not possible to offer discount codes for your paid app in Google Play. Ie, a code that you can track that gives people a discount at time of purchase on a specific app. My next question is, has someone found a creative solution? Could I perhaps get one if I managed to contact the right person on the Google Play Marketing Team?

Re: [android-developers] Discount Codes in Google Play - still impossible.
It's not clear if you want this discount code to be a limited time offer or something that is always available to those in the know. If the former then you might be able to work something out with a key based system. You would have the regular free version of the app with 2 different key apps, one at regular price and the other discounted. The discounted one would have minimum keywords and such to minimize people finding it by accident and could be unpublished when the offer expired On Oct 30, 2014 6:01 PM, Nathan nathan.d.mel...@gmail.com wrote: According to my best understanding, it is still not possible to offer discount codes for your paid app in Google Play.

So I guess it would be a special version with a different package name, which is never updated and would have no IAP. It’s something to consider.

Re: [android-developers] Discount Codes in Google Play - still impossible.
Another possibility is something I have seen from time to time where developers put an app on sale for a limited time - simple matter of lowering the price and putting it back when the promotion is over On Oct 30, 2014 6:39 PM, Nathan Mellor nathan.d.mel...@gmail.com wrote: On Thu, Oct 30, 2014 at 3:22 PM, Steve Gabrilowitz steveg1...@gmail.com wrote: It's not clear if you want this discount code to be a limited time offer or something that is always available to those in the know.

Re: [android-developers] Discount Codes in Google Play - still impossible.
It may be the best option. Have a secret time when the app is discounted, and only those who sign up for the newsletter/promotion/bundle deal will be informed in advance of when that special . Those not so informed would still get the discount if they just happen to be buying at the right time.
