Use In-app purchase

Learn about how to use in-app purchases in your Expo app.


In-app purchases (IAP) are transactions within a mobile or desktop application where users can buy digital goods or additional features. This guide provides a list of popular libraries and tutorials for implementing IAP in your Expo app.

In-app purchase libraries require configuring custom native code. Native code is not configurable when using Expo Go. Instead, create a development build, which allows using a native library in your project.
