In-App Purchase - Android Setup

In App Purchase (or IAP) allows developers to charge users for specific functionality or content while using an app.


Why Use In App Purchases?

  1. Generate additional revenue beyond the initial app purchase.

  2. Offer your app for free, increasing downloads and user adoption.

  3. Monetize free apps with ads while allowing users to remove them through purchases.

  4. Continue earning revenue by releasing new content without creating a new app.


Product Types Supported by Google Play

One-Time Products

A one-time product is purchased once with a non-recurring charge.

Consumable Products

Consumable products can be purchased multiple times and are used up after consumption.

Examples:

  • Game currency
  • Coins
  • Loot boxes

Non-Consumable Products

Non-consumable products provide permanent benefits and can only be purchased once per Google account.

Examples:

  • Premium upgrades
  • Level packs
  • Ad removal

Subscriptions

Subscriptions grant users access to benefits for a recurring period.

Examples:

  • Monthly content access
  • Cloud storage plans

Users gain access by purchasing a base plan or offer through Google Play.
