Make in-app purchases in Android apps. With some apps, you can buy additional content or services within the app. We call these "in-app purchases." Here are some examples of in-app purchases: A key that unlocks more features of a free app. Virtual currency that can be used for purchases.
Download purchases on your Mac or PC
- If you're not signed in, sign in with your Apple ID.
- Open the store app that you want to download content from, then go to the Purchased page.*
- From the menu to the right of Purchased, choose a family member's name to view their content.
- Download or play the items that you want.
If you get hit with a message on your Apple iPhone or iPad that says “Purchase – In-app purchases are not allowed” when trying to buy purchases from within apps, it may be related to a restriction setting on the device. Scroll down to the “In App Purchases” option and ensure it is turned “On“.
It made sense: The app is free to download, after all. But if you visit the App Store now, that "Free" button now says "Get." This is being done to avoid confusion, and potential litigation, around apps that actually include in-app purchases.
On Android, free apps have an “Install” button, while paid apps show the price and “Buy.” Free Android apps may also have in-app purchases. To find free apps on iOS, open the App Store and tap Apps at the bottom of the screen. From there, scroll down to the Top Free section and tap See All.

To check up on your Apple subscriptions, head to the Settings app on your iOS device, then tap your name, followed by iTunes & App Store. Hit the Apple ID link at the top, then View Apple ID, and Subscriptions.
An in-app purchase is any fee (beyond the initial cost of downloading the app, if there is one) an app may ask for. Many in-app purchases are optional or give users additional features; others serve as subscriptions and require users to sign up and pay a fee to use the app, often after an initial free trial.
In-app purchases for Android
Keep in mind that Google charges a 15% commission fee on every transaction. Applying a given approach you are able to build paid subscriptions. Thereby, your customers will have the possibility to try items for free during some time and buy them later.As Apple only takes a cut from payments made through iOS apps, the obvious way to avoid the tax is to not offer the subscription services through the app. That is exactly what Netflix is doing, as it now requires users to sign up and pay for the service through the company's website before logging on through the app.
