Currencies

On the Currencies page, you can create, configure, and manage your game's Currencies:

• You can use Currencies:
  • To assign costs to your Virtual Goods - cost a Virtual Good for one or more Currencies.
  • To award player Achievements - set multi-currency awards for players when they gain an Achievement.
• When you create a new Currency for your game, you can set sign-up bonuses for each Currency - any new player who registers on your game is automatically credited with the sign-up Currency amounts.
• You can access Currencies programmatically via Cloud Code for all game management purposes.

Default Game Currencies? The Currencies you add here supplement any default game Currencies you’ve enabled in Game>Edit from the Game Overview page.
