2.4. Open the actions menu and click on Manage keys​



2.5. Click on Add Key and then click on Create new key​



2.6. Select JSON and click on Create​



2.7. A JSON file should be downloaded, it gives access to the service account, store it securily you'll have to upload it on IAPHUB later​



3. Configure API access on Google Play Console​

3.2. Enable the 3 permissions below and click on Invite user​

4.1. Go to the settings of your app on the IAPHUB dashboard and upload the JSON file you've downloaded previously on step 2.7​



5. Wait for changes to take effect​

It could take up to 36 hours for the changes to take effect and the Google Play API to work properly, until then IAPHUB won't be able to validate your receipts and you'll receive errors.

But there is a hack that might help you, if you've created your products before creating your service account, update the description of one of your product and click on Save (on the Google Play Console).
It'll force the refresh of your Google Play API credentials and will probably fix your issue.
