Identify users in Unity SDK

Adapty creates an internal profile ID for every user. However, if you have your own authentication system, you should set your own Customer User ID. You can find users by their Customer User ID in the Profiles section and use it in the server-side API, which will be sent to all integrations.

Setting customer user ID on configuration

If you have a user ID during configuration, just pass it as customerUserId parameter to .activate() method:

using UnityEngine;
using AdaptySDK;

var builder = new AdaptyConfiguration.Builder("YOUR_API_KEY")
    .SetCustomerUserId("YOUR_USER_ID");

Adapty.Activate(builder.Build(), (error) => {
    if (error != null) {
        // handle the error
        return;
    }
});

Setting customer user ID after configuration

If you don't have a user ID in the SDK configuration, you can set it later at any time with the .identify() method. The most common cases for using this method are after registration or authorization, when the user switches from being an anonymous user to an authenticated user.

Adapty.Identify("YOUR_USER_ID", (error) => {
  if(error == null) {
    // successful identify
  }
});

Request parameters:

• Customer User ID (required): a string user identifier.

warning

Resubmitting of significant user data

In some cases, such as when a user logs into their account again, Adapty's servers already have information about that user. In these scenarios, the Adapty SDK will automatically switch to work with the new user. If you passed any data to the anonymous user, such as custom attributes or attributions from third-party networks, you should resubmit that data for the identified user.

It's also important to note that you should re-request all paywalls and products after identifying the user, as the new user's data may be different.

Logging out and logging in

You can logout the user anytime by calling .logout() method:

Adapty.Logout((error) => {
  if(error == null) {
    // successful logout
  }
});

You can then login the user using .identify() method.

Assign appAccountToken (iOS)

appAccountToken is a UUID that lets you link App Store transactions to your internal user identity.
StoreKit associates this token with every transaction, so your backend can match App Store data to your users.

Use a stable UUID generated per user and reuse it for the same account across devices. This ensures that purchases and App Store notifications stay correctly linked.

You can set the token in two ways – during the SDK activation or when identifying the user.

important

You must always pass appAccountToken together with customerUserId. If you pass only the token, it will not be included in the transaction.

Unity

using UnityEngine;
using AdaptySDK;
using System;

// During configuration:
var appAccountToken = new Guid("YOUR_APP_ACCOUNT_TOKEN");
var builder = new AdaptyConfiguration.Builder("YOUR_API_KEY")
    .SetCustomerUserId("YOUR_USER_ID", appAccountToken);

Adapty.Activate(builder.Build(), (error) => {
    if (error != null) {
        // handle the error
        return;
    }
}); 

// Or when identifying users
Adapty.Identify("YOUR_USER_ID", appAccountToken, (error) => {
    if (error == null) {
        // successful identify
    }
});

Set obfuscated account IDs (Android)

Google Play requires obfuscated account IDs for certain use cases to enhance user privacy and security. These IDs help Google Play identify purchases while keeping user information anonymous, which is particularly important for fraud prevention and analytics.

You may need to set these IDs if your app handles sensitive user data or if you're required to comply with specific privacy regulations. The obfuscated IDs allow Google Play to track purchases without exposing actual user identifiers.

Unity

using UnityEngine;
using AdaptySDK;

// During configuration:
var builder = new AdaptyConfiguration.Builder("YOUR_API_KEY")
    .SetCustomerUserId("YOUR_USER_ID", null, "YOUR_OBFUSCATED_ACCOUNT_ID");

Adapty.Activate(builder.Build(), (error) => {
    if (error != null) {
        // handle the error
        return;
    }
});

// Or when identifying users
Adapty.Identify("YOUR_USER_ID", null, "YOUR_OBFUSCATED_ACCOUNT_ID", (error) => {
    if (error == null) {
        // successful identify
    }
});
