In App Store



Apr 15, 2020. The App Store is the world’s safest and most vibrant marketplace, giving you the opportunity to deliver your apps and services across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Watch in 175 countries and 40 languages. Find articles, guidelines, and other resources to help you design incredible apps, reach more users, and grow your business.

Offer customers extra content and features using in‑app purchases — including premium content, digital goods, and subscriptions — directly within your app. You can even promote and offer in‑app purchases directly on the App Store.

Overview

In‑app purchases can be used to sell a variety of content, including subscriptions, new features, and services. There are four types of in‑app purchases. Users can make in‑app purchases on iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS.

Consumable

Users can purchase different types of consumables, such as lives or gems in a game, to further their progress through an app. Consumable in‑app purchases are used once, are depleted, and can be purchased again.

Non‑Consumable

Users can purchase non‑consumable, premium features within an app. Non‑consumables are purchased once and do not expire, such as additional filters in a photo app. Apple can host content associated with your non‑consumable in‑app purchases.

Auto‑Renewable Subscriptions

Users can purchase access to services or periodically updated content, such as monthly access to cloud storage or a weekly subscription to a magazine. Users are charged on a recurring basis until they decide to cancel.

Non‑Renewing Subscriptions

Users can purchase access to services or content for a limited duration, such as a season pass to streaming content. This type of subscription does not renew automatically, so users need to renew each time.

Designing and Building

Design Your In‑App Purchase Experience

The user interface for your in‑app purchase should fit well with the rest of your app and effectively showcase your products.

Implement Your In‑App Purchases

Use the StoreKit Framework to embed the in‑app purchase into your app and securely process purchases of content and services. Make sure to complete the steps in the implementation checklist.

Validate Receipts

Receipts provide a valuable record of the sale. Consider using receipt validation code to protect your content and prevent unauthorized purchases.

Manage Refunds

App Store server notifications include refund notifications for all types of in‑app purchases. You can use this information to take action in response — for example, adjusting a user’s currency balance in a game, or restricting access to content unlocked by an in‑app purchase. If you choose to take action, inform the user of any changes and let them know if there’s anything they need to do in response.

If you offer auto-renewable subscriptions, use App Store server notifications with receipt validation to understand a subscriber’s status. To learn more, see Using Receipts to Retain Subscribers.
