SYNCHRONIZING ITEMS FOR USE IN AN APPLICATION PURCHASED IN A FEED OF CONTENT PROVIDED BY AN ONLINE SYSTEM WITH A THIRD PARTY SYSTEM PROVIDING THE APPLICATION

摘要

An online system receives an advertisement (“ad”) request identifying an application, one or more items for use within the application, ad content, and a prompt for purchasing one or more of the items. The prompt for purchasing an item includes instructions that, when executed by a client device, request payment information from a user accessing the prompt. When the ad content is presented to a user, the prompt is also presented. When the user interacts with the prompt, the online system determines information identifying the user to a third party system associated with the application and communicates a request to purchase the item to the third party system that identifies the user to the third party system. If the third party system receives payment information, the third party system associates the item with a user profile associated with the user by the third party system.
