In-App Purchases (IAP) gives access to additional services through Odoo. For instance, it allows me to send SMS Text Messages or to send Invoices by post directly from my database.
Buying Credits
Each IAP Service relies on prepaid credits to work and has its own pricing. To consult my current balance or to recharge my account, go to .
Tip
If I am on Odoo Online (SAAS) and have the Enterprise version, I benefit from free credits to test our IAP features.
IAP accounts
Credits to use IAP services are stored on IAP accounts, which are specific to each service and database. By default, IAP accounts are common to all companies, but can be restricted to specific ones. Activate the Developer mode, then go to .
IAP Portal
The IAP Portal is a platform regrouping my IAP Services. It is accessible from . From there, I can view my current balance, recharge my credits, review my consumption and set a reminder to when credits are low.
Get notified when credits are low
To be notified when it’s time to recharge my credits, I’ll go to my IAP Portal through , unfold a service and mark the Receive threshold warning option. Then, I’ll provide a minimum amount of credits and email addresses. Now, every time that the limit is reached, an automatic reminder will be sent to by email!
IAP services available
Different services are available depending on the hosting type of your Database:
- Odoo Online (SAAS): only the IAP services provided by Odoo can be used (i.e. the SMS, Snailmail, Reveal and Partner Autocomplete features);
- Odoo.sh and Odoo Enterprise (on-premise): both the services provided by Odoo and by third-party apps can be used.
Offering my own services
I am more than welcome to offer my own IAP services through Odoo Apps! It is the perfect opportunity to get recurring revenue for an ongoing service use rather than — and possibly instead of — a sole initial purchase. Please, find more information at: In-App Purchase
