Handling in-app purchases or authentication for mod-based launchers

[shahmeerahmed]

Hey devs,

I’ve been experimenting with integrating secure login and lightweight payment verification for a custom Java-based launcher app (similar to how PojavLauncher runs Minecraft Java on mobile — https://pojavlauncherdl.com).

I’m curious if anyone here has experience using Cybersource APIs for apps that don’t fit the traditional eCommerce model — more like a hybrid of gaming and mod distribution.

Would it be overkill to integrate Cybersource for user-level premium features, or is there a lightweight way to handle that securely?

Appreciate any insight!

Has anyone used Cybersource for non-eCommerce apps? I did for a small community platform once. It felt like overkill at first, but their security features and fraud detection were invaluable. It was tough to set up, though!

I’ve used Cybersource outside eCommerce it’s secure and reliable but a bit complex to set up initially.
