In-App Purchase

Extend your App’s Revenues.

In-app purchase allows customers to purchase upgrades, new content, and complementary features directly within your app – without having to go back to the App Store or the Android Market. By simplifying and shortening the path to purchase, you’re more likely to keep your customer interested – and make a sale. In-app billing is the quickest and easiest way to monetize your app.

Now available on iOS & Android

Urban Airship has enabled in-app transactions on the iOS platform since Apple introduced it. In April 2011, it added support for in-app billing on Android.

How it Works

Urban Airship manages device verification and content delivery of mobile purchases. After a user makes a purchase decision, billing is handled through the user’s iTunes account and content is delivered directly to the app. Once you set up your platform IAP system (Google Marketplace/iTunes Connect), we will host and deliver content and secure receipt verification, replacing your need for an IAP server.

Simple Integration

As with all the options of the Urban Airship development platform, we provide a simple API to build these features directly into your mobile app. You focus on building the next top performing app and we help you make it successful and profitable.
