The In-App Purchase (IAP) integration enables seamless payment handling via the Google Play Store (Android) and Apple App Store (iOS) within Shopify.

To allow in-app purchases, enable the IAP block in your Shopify theme:

2. Click Customize next to your current theme.

3. Navigate to the App Embeds section.

4. Enable the In-App Purchase block.

Once IAP is configured for a product, the purchase process is initiated on the product detail page:

1. If IAP is configured for the selected product:

• The "Buy Now" button will override Shopify’s default Buy Now and Add to Cart sections.

• Customers will proceed with an in-app purchase instead of using the standard checkout flow.

1. Complete the in-app purchase transaction.

Step 5: Order Creation After Successful Purchase

After successfully purchasing an IAP product:

1. An order will be created in Shopify.

1. The order Note section will contain:

• The native product ID.

• The platform type (iOS or Android).

Additional Notes:

• The IAP feature is available only for supported Shopify plans.

• Only Logged-in users can use the IAP feature.

• The in-app purchase "Buy Now" button is only visible on native devices.

• Ensure that your Google Play and App Store product IDs match the ones configured in your app.

• If your plan does not support IAP, you may see an upgrade prompt.

Once these steps are completed, your Shopify store will be ready to process in-app purchases seamlessly!
