To integrate Google Play with the Choicely Shop SDK, you need to create a Service Account in the Google Cloud Console and enable the required APIs.

​
Why Service Account?

  • Secure Communication – Allows Choicely Platform and your app to access Google Play Developer APIs safely.
  • Automated Reporting – Enables fetching purchase and subscription data.
You must have Admin or Owner access to the Google Play Console project to perform these steps.

​
Steps to Create Service Account

  1. Enable APIs: Go to the Google Cloud Console, navigate to APIs & Services → Library, and enable the following:
    • Google Play Developer API
    • Google Play Developer Reporting API
  2. Create Service Account: In the Google Cloud Console → IAM & Admin → Service Accounts, click Create Service Account and provide:
    • Service account name
    • Service account ID
    • Description (optional)
  3. Grant Access: Assign the role Service Account User, then click Done.
  4. Create Key: Open the newly created service account, go to the Keys tab, click Add Key → JSON. This will download a JSON credentials file.
    Keep this file secure – it contains sensitive credentials.
  5. Link to Play Console: Go to Google Play Console, open Setup → API access, and link the Service Account to your project.
