How to create in-app purchases in Apple App Store Connect

Create consumables, non-consumables, and subscriptions in Apple App Store Connect so they can be used for monetization in your app.

Before in-app purchases can be used in your app, they must be created in Apple App Store Connect. This includes defining the purchase type, setting pricing and availability, and ensuring the Product ID matches what is configured elsewhere in your app setup.

Apple treats each in-app purchase as a product that must be reviewed and approved. Adding new purchases requires submitting an updated app build for review.

Requirements

  • You must have access to in-app purchases

  • An active Apple App Store Connect account

  • In-app purchases must already be created in the Control Panel

How to create in-app purchases in Apple App Store Connect

  1. Log in to App Store Connect
  2. Go to Apps, then select your app
  3.  In the left menu under MONETIZATION, click In-App Purchases 
  4.  Click + and choose the purchase type 
    • Select Consumable, Non-Consumable
  5. Enter the required product details
    • Reference name
    • Product ID (must exactly match the Product ID created in the Control Panel)
  6. Click Set Up Availability and select countries
  7. Click Add Pricing, and select base country and price, click Next
  8. Confirm prices for different countries, click Next
  9. Complete app information and localization fields as required
  10. Click Save

Once saved, the in-app purchase will be available to attach to an app build and submitted to Apple for review with your next app submission.


Pro tips

  • Apple requires a new app submission whenever a new in-app purchase is added

  • Product IDs cannot be reused once created

  • Use clear, consistent naming for Product IDs to avoid mismatches later

  • Test purchases using Apple sandbox accounts before releasing to production
