In-app purchase extension description

In-App Purchase extension allows you to sell auto-renewable subscriptions from your native apps via the App Store (Apple) and Google Play Store to monetize your app.
The subscriptions will be paid and managed directly by the stores (Apple Store and Google Play store).

With this extension set subscriptions for a specific time period along with a free trial:
- Restrict the content you wish to make inaccessible to non-subscribers, so your subscribers can access exclusive content in your app.
- Disable ads in your app for your subscribers to browse your app without ads.

Once your users have subscribed to your app via the stores from the native app, they will also be able to login to your app on the PWA to access the restricted content from the PWA.

In-App Purchase is included in the offer Pro and reseller or in the offer Premium for 49€/month extra.
