Hi,

the answer to most of these is that we're working on building in support for ads and purchasing so that they'll work out of the box. Currently we do have leaderboard/score/achievement integration with Steam, but not with the Android/iOS game centers.

You might be able to extend Stingray to do what you need. However, at the moment, it will probably mean that you'll need to get source code access.

You can write a plug-in for the engine in C++, but you need to have source access to get the header files and such that you need.
Also, dynamic plug-ins only work on Windows in the latest public release (Android is coming soon), which means that if you need to support iOS you have to rebuild the engine from source in order for your plug-in to work.
Alternatively, you can write a Lua extension module in C, which you load into your game's Lua environment. In your game's Lua script, you invoke functions in your C code that you expose to Lua. You can read more about how this is done here: http://help.autodesk.com/view/Stingray/ENU/?guid=__stingray_help_creating_gameplay_scripting_with_lua_calling_c_from_lua_html . Unfortunately, again these dynamically loaded plug-ins only work on Windows in the latest public release.
Extending the editor isn't really possible yet without source access. We have a team working full-time to make this super easy; it's definitely a priority for us.

Hope that helps.

Stingray team should get in touch with these guys to implement In-App payments and Ads faster:

Without In-App + Ads network SDK, any mobile game built on Stingray is 100% dead on arrival.
