In-App Purchase

Introduction to In-App Purchases (IAP)

What is In-App Purchase (IAP)?

In-app purchase (IAP) is a feature that allows users to buy digital products and services within an app. These purchases can include premium features, subscriptions, virtual goods, and more. IAP is managed by the respective app stores:

• iOS (Apple App Store): Uses StoreKit to handle in-app purchases.

• Android (Google Play Store): Uses Google Play Billing for in-app transactions.

Types of In-App Purchases

Both iOS and Android offer similar types of in-app purchases:

1. Consumables: Items that are used once and can be purchased again (e.g., in-game currency).

2. Non-Consumables: One-time purchases that provide permanent access to a feature (e.g., removing ads).

3. Subscriptions: Recurring purchases that grant access to content or services over time.

Configuring In-App Purchases

Before integrating an IAP plugin, you must configure in-app purchases in your respective app store.
