Introduction to fulfillment
Overview
AccelByte Cloud’s Fulfillment service is used to grant entitlements, coins, etc., to players that they have purchased or otherwise earned. Fulfillment works with other Cloud Commerce services to distribute items to your players. One example flow of the Fulfillment service would be like the following, the Orders service will send information about a newly placed order to the Fulfillment service. Then, the Entitlement service and Catalog service will work together to check the availability of the item. If the item is available, it will be granted to the player. Another example would be If a player purchases an item or redeems a promotional code, the Fulfillment service works to ensure that they receive that item immediately.
