# Real Money Purchases

LootLocker streamlines the implementation of in-app purchases (IAP) by enabling seamless integration with first-party platform systems and third party payment providers like Stripe. This allows players to purchase in-game content, currency, or other items directly through trusted platform payment systems. These integrations ensure that your game can process real-money transactions securely, efficiently, and in full compliance with platform-specific requirements.

For items intended for virtual purchases, please refer to the [Virtual Purchases](/commerce/virtual-purchases.md) documentation.
{% endhint %}

With real money purchases, you can offer a wide range of in-game content, including:

* [Assets](/content/working-with-assets.md)
* [Progressions](/game-systems/progressions.md)
* [Progression Resets](/game-systems/progressions.md)
* [Currencies](/commerce/currencies.md)

Both Currencies and Catalogs support [Metadata](/shared-systems/metadata.md), adding flexibility and customization for your real money purchase offerings.
