Technical producer focus
Turn the purchase into named states and transitions. Separate the player-facing prototype from identity, persistence, native billing, security, and refund work.

Technical Producer Guide to Koin Catalog Design for Discord Activity Creators
Use a playable web prototype to work through catalog design for Discord activity creators. The goal is to make the player journey concrete before the team commits to native commerce implementation.
Create this game flow
Define the Discord activity creators scope
Platform context
Design for the input, layout, interruption, and return behavior players expect from Discord activity creators.
Prototype boundary
Discord distribution, identity, and monetization rules require separate implementation review.
Catalog Design in practice
Starting state
Show one item the player may decline, its preview, clearly stated Koin cost, balance before spending, and ownership rule in a layout suited to Discord activity creators.
Main task
Write how to define item identity, value, Koin price, preview, and ownership before checkout. Keep each change visible to the player rather than hiding it in technical state.
Recovery
Make cancellation, not enough Koin, pending, interrupted delivery, and reload visually distinct, with a safe next action.
Role decision
Map preview, confirmation, cancelling the action, an insufficient balance, pending, success, delivery, owned, and reload. Give every failure a safe next action. Use the prototype to resolve player-facing questions before creating platform integration tasks.
Solve the catalog design details
Design for a social frame
For a technical producer, this catalog design prototype should make every player action and result shown in the game easy to evaluate. Write how to define item identity, value, Koin price, preview, and ownership before checkout. Map preview, confirmation, a cancelled choice, a Koin shortage, pending, success, delivery, owned, and reload. Give every failure a safe next action. Assume voice chat, spectators, shared attention, and compact embedded space. Avoid exposing account information and keep the choice readable without covering the group activity.
Handle participant changes
Try joining late, losing focus, reconnecting, and returning after the activity is closed. Personal Koin state and item delivery should never be confused with another participant.
Keep distribution claims narrow
Discord identity, monetization rules, activity distribution, permissions, persistence, refunds, and security need separate implementation review. A social browser concept does not establish those capabilities.
Name every state and owner
Separate preview, confirmation, pending, success, delivery, owned, insufficient Koin, cancel, interrupted, and reopened states. Assign later production work for identity, persistence, native billing, security, refunds, policy, and monitoring.
Define idempotent recovery
Repeated confirmation, a slow response, navigation during delivery, and reopening must resolve to one result. Record which state is authoritative and how the player can safely retry without another grant or Koin deduction.
Turn the prototype into tickets
Capture the visible behavior first, then create implementation tasks with expected examples for each transition and platform boundary. Do not translate a working browser interaction into an unsupported claim that backend commerce is complete.
Compare items consistently
Use the same fields for every offer: preview, benefit, ownership or duration, clearly stated Koin cost, and owned state. Consistent cards make differences easier to understand. Test that behavior using Discord activity creators. Discord distribution, identity, and monetization rules require separate implementation review.
Keep the first catalog small
Start with one to three clearly different items. A large grid makes it harder to find unclear value, duplicated promises, and missing delivery states. Test that behavior using Discord activity creators. Discord distribution, identity, and monetization rules require separate implementation review.
Design owned and unavailable states
A catalog also needs sold, owned, equipped, and unavailable presentations. Do not leave a purchased item looking buyable after reload. Test that behavior using Discord activity creators. Discord distribution, identity, and monetization rules require separate implementation review.
Prototype the player journey
1. Set the platform context
Choose the input and screen behavior for Discord activity creators. State the platform limit beside the prototype brief.
Result: An honest scope
2. Map catalog design
Write how to define item identity, value, Koin price, preview, and ownership before checkout. Describe the player action and visible response at each point.
Result: A clear catalog design sequence
3. Add the Koin choice
Show the item, exact price, balance, confirm, cancel, pending, success, and delivery without payment-provider screens.
Result: A complete player journey
4. Apply the technical producer lens
Map preview, confirmation, cancellation, not enough Koin, pending, success, delivery, owned, and reload. Give every failure a safe next action.
Result: Technical producer focus
5. Test return and recovery
Interrupt delivery, repeat the input, and reload. The prototype should never grant twice or leave the player in an unexplained state. Repeat the test after interruption and reload.
Result: A stable prototype
Generate the Discord activity creators prototype
Prompt 1
Create a social browser-game purchase concept for a technical producer. Focus the IAP prototype on define item identity, value, Koin price, preview, and ownership before checkout. Use a direct Koin item transaction with preview, exact price, confirmation, cancel, insufficient balance, success, delivery, and reload behavior. The technical producer must be able to name every state, owner, failure path, and expected check. Do not add subscriptions, payment-provider UI, revenue analytics, or native platform claims. State this boundary: Discord distribution, identity, and monetization rules require separate implementation review.
Prompt 2
Keep the item optional. Show its specific Koin amount, current Koin balance, confirm, cancel, low-balance, success, visible delivery, and reload states.
Technical Producer test checklist
- The catalog design sequence feels natural for Discord activity creators.
- The technical producer can make the intended decision from the playable result.
- The item, Koin price, and balance appear before the player confirms.
- Cancel, too little Koin, pending, success, and reload have different outcomes.
- The page states this boundary: Discord distribution, identity, and monetization rules require separate implementation review.
- Interrupt delivery, repeat the input, and reload. The prototype should never grant twice or leave the player in an unexplained state.
Limits for Discord activity creators
- Discord distribution, identity, and monetization rules require separate implementation review.
- This guide uses a direct Koin transaction for one optional game item. It does not create a subscription or recurring charge.
- The result is a playable web prototype. Native billing, identity, durable entitlements, security, refunds, and store approval need separate implementation.
- SEELE does not provide payment analytics, tax tools, payout reports, or guaranteed revenue through this flow.
Frequently asked questions
What does catalog design mean here?
Write how to define item identity, value, Koin price, preview, and ownership before checkout. The result is shown as a playable Koin flow.
Is this a subscription?
No. The player spends Koin directly on one named item or unlock.
What happens if the player cancels?
Return to the same game state without spending Koin or delivering the item.
What if the Koin balance is too low?
Explain the shortage, preserve progress, and do not deliver the item.
Does this include payment or revenue reports?
No. It covers the player-facing purchase experience, not financial reporting.
Is the prototype ready for a native store?
No. Discord distribution, identity, and monetization rules require separate implementation review.
