Is it possible to do Playfab IAP validation without catalog setup

Hello,

We want to integrate Playfab IAP validation for the purchases made from Android and iOS store in our Unity game. Currently the store and and inventory of the game are configured in our own native system. That means, we aren't using Playfab catalog and inventory to manage items and in game or store based purchases. We are using Unity IAP service to make in app purchases.

Question is, can we use Playfab iOS or Android receipt validation system, without configuring item's sku/id in the catalog of the Playfab title?

Thanks in advance.

It's impossible to use PlayFab receipt validation system without configuring item's sku/id in the catalog of the PlayFab title. After validation, PlayFab will always try to check the items in the receipt and grant the items to players. There would be errors if the item can't be found in your title's catalog. You can read Show Me the Money: Receipt Validation for iOS and Android to see how PlayFab receipt validation system works.

Since you aren't using PlayFab catalog and inventory to manage items and in game or store based purchases. You can refer to Google and Apple's docs to implement your own validation system in your server.
