Features
- Simple, promise-based API
- Support for consumable/non-consumable products and paid/free subscriptions
- Support for restoring purchases
- Uses well tested native libraries internally - RMStore for iOS and an adjusted com.google.payments for Android
Install
$ cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-inapppurchase
Configuration
iOS
No configuration is necessary.
Android
You must create a manifest.json
in your project's www
folder with your Android Billing Key:
{ "play_store_key": "<Base64-encoded public key from the Google Play Store>" }
You can get this key from the Google Play Store (under "Services & APIs") after uploading your app.
Setting up and testing purchases

- Testing in app purchases
- Receipt validation (with nodejs)

API
All functions return a Promise.
Get Products
inAppPurchase.getProducts(productIds)
- productIds - an array of product ids
Retrieves a list of full product data from Apple/Google. This function must be called before making purchases.
If successful, the promise resolves to an array of objects. Each object has the following attributes:
productId
- SKU / product bundle id (such as 'com.yourapp.prod1')title
- short localized titledescription
- long localized descriptioncurrency
- currency of the price (such as 'EUR', 'USD')price
- localized pricepriceAsDecimal
- price as a decimal
Example:
inAppPurchase
.getProducts(['com.yourapp.prod1', 'com.yourapp.prod2', ...])
.then(function (products) {
console.log(products);
/*
[{ productId: 'com.yourapp.prod1', 'title': '...', description: '...', currency: '...', price: '...', priceAsDecimal: '...' }, ...]
*/
})
.catch(function (err) {
console.log(err);
});
Buy
inAppPurchase.buy(productId)
- productId - a string of the productId
If successful, the promise resolves to an object with the following attributes that you will need for the receipt validation:
transactionId
- The transaction/order idreceipt
- On iOS it will be the base64 string of the receipt, on Android it will be a string of a json with all the transaction details required for validation such as{"orderId":"...","packageName:"...","productId":"...","purchaseTime":"...", "purchaseState":"...","purchaseToken":"..."}
signature
- On Android it can be used to consume a purchase. On iOS it will be an empty string.productType
- On Android it can be used to consume a purchase. On iOS it will be an empty string.
Receipt validation: - To validate your receipt, you will need the receipt
and signature
on Android and the receipt
and transactionId
on iOS.
Example:
inAppPurchase
.buy('com.yourapp.prod1')
.then(function (data) {
console.log(data);
/*
{
transactionId: ...
receipt: ...
signature: ...
}
*/
})
.catch(function (err) {
console.log(err);
});
Subscribe
inAppPurchase.subscribe(productId)
- productId - a string of the productId
This function behaves the same as buy() but with subscriptions.
Consume
inAppPurchase.consume(productType, receipt, signature)
- productType - string
- receipt - string (containing a json)
- signature - string
All 3 parameters are returned by the buy() or restorePurchases() functions.
Call this function after purchasing a "consumable" product to mark it as consumed.
NOTE: This function is only relevant to Android purchases.
On Android, you must consume products that you want to let the user purchase multiple times. If you will not consume the product after a purchase, the next time you will attempt to purchase it you will get the error message:
Unable to buy item / Item already owned
.
On iOS there is no need to "consume" a product. However, in order to make your code cross platform, it is recommended to call it for iOS consumable purchases as well.
Example:
// first buy the product...
inAppPurchase
.buy('com.yourapp.consumable_prod1')
.then(function (data) {
// ...then mark it as consumed:
return inAppPurchase.consume(data.productType, data.receipt, data.signature);
})
.then(function () {
console.log('product was successfully consumed!');
})
.catch(function (err) {
console.log(err);
});
Restore Purchases
inAppPurchase.restorePurchases()
If successful, the promise resolves to an array of objects with the following attributes:
productId
state
- the state of the product. On Android the statuses are:0 - ACTIVE, 1 - CANCELLED, 2 - REFUNDED
transactionId
date
- timestamp of the purchaseproductType
- On Android it can be used to consume a purchase. On iOS it will be an empty string.receipt
- On Android it can be used to consume a purchase. On iOS it will be an empty string.signature
- On Android it can be used to consume a purchase. On iOS it will be an empty string.
Example:
inAppPurchase
.restorePurchases()
.then(function (data) {
console.log(data);
/*
[{
transactionId: ...
productId: ...
state: ...
date: ...
}]
*/
})
.catch(function (err) {
console.log(err);
});
See Differences Between Product Types
Get Receipt
inAppPurchase.getReceipt()
On iOS, you can get the receipt at any moment by calling the getReceipt() function. Note that on iOS the receipt can contain multiple transactions. If successful, the promise returned by this function will resolve to a string with the receipt.
On Android this function will always return an empty string since it's not needed for Android purchases.
Example:
inAppPurchase
.getReceipt()
.then(function (receipt) {
console.log(receipt);
})
.catch(function (err) {
console.log(err);
});

Debugging
- Are you testing on a real device? In App purchases are not supported in emulators/simulators.
- Have you enabled In-App Purchases for your App ID?
- Have you checked Cleared for Sale for your product?
- Does your projectβs .plist Bundle ID match your App ID?
- Have you generated and installed a new provisioning profile for the new App ID?
- Have you configured your project to code sign using this new provisioning profile?
- Have you waited several hours since adding your product to iTunes Connect?
- Have you tried deleting the app from your device and reinstalling?
- Have you accepted contracts for IAPs in iTunes connect?
- Is your device jailbroken? If so, you need to revert the jailbreak for IAP to work.
