Overview of In-App purchases in Purple DS Manager

In the Purple DS Manager, under the heading of Purchases (1), you can check the in-app purchases and their validity using a device ID.

The device ID can be sent directly to you via the feedback email. 

If you enter the device ID of a device in the search field (2), you will get an overview of all purchases made with the respective device. This can be helpful in restoring purchases or making it easier to find out when a purchase was made.
