I hope this thread don’t die. Or is there any way of inapp purchase via web api? ---

Hi @sinplekel9f16s 👋 Welcome to the community! This is still on our roadmap, hoping to have it out later this year. ---

Hello all, I have a sort-of solution for you. Using WooCommerce, you can use the API to build a shopping interface, I bring in all the products via API and save locally for a faster experience. Displayed via the new Data Viewer List. I use a circular button positioned ‘absolute’ in the bottom right for the basket, you can create a virtual basket (and with the API add or remove items), you can also have a small label to show the total products and update that when an item is added. Once the user is done, they click the cart button and it takes them to a normal webview to pay on the website (which is mobile responsive). ![Screenshot](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/f/e/fe033da821ce1aced9c45c373d0ab5a516e6bc83.png) _Pricing view is incorrect, should be e.g. Long Sleeve Tee $25.00_ Using either this or the standard List Viewer, you can open the Product in a new screen to display product variations. I think this is safer for now as it means I don’t have to integrate payments, it’s just done via the web with everything else in the app. I’m planning to use this technique for a restaurant if I can display product add-ons. This may not help everyone, but it gives at least one use-able option 🙂 ---

because you need to have an API component by thunkable not just one you come with app will be rejected. ---

@kizzy Hi, what do you meant API component by Thunkable? 1. How would google know if an API in my app is implemented by me or Thunkable? 2. I’m using an api to add items to a virtual basket, which then get added to a web basket in webview, the user pays there. As it’s a physical-item shop, not an in-app feature, I don’t think there should be any issues, have you experience of this? (Payment is done on the web, not via mobile SDK functionality) Any experience you have is appreciated! 🙂 ---

About the Payments policy Apps that employ in-store or in-app purchases must comply with the following guidelines: - **In-store purchases:** Developers charging for apps and downloads from Google Play must use Google Play’s payment system. - **In-app purchases:** - Developers offering products within a game downloaded on Google Play or providing access to game content must use [Google Play In-app Billing](https://www.google.com/appserve/mkt/p/AD-FnEyHRlM8H1x1o06FVYlNXEmBgHIYjev2OGmcV19r12c763lofxybba3mRLjnSkzcfC3nSGzjD-Rmp0qrheT3DlGuFtwPqLqpaWbHUwzYHbEZqBDGPnx4YB3ShuHxRFg0) as the method of payment. - Developers offering products within another category of app downloaded on Google Play must use [Google Play In-app Billing](https://www.google.com/appserve/mkt/p/AD-FnEyHRlM8H1x1o06FVYlNXEmBgHIYjev2OGmcV19r12c763lofxybba3mRLjnSkzcfC3nSGzjD-Rmp0qrheT3DlGuFtwPqLqpaWbHUwzYHbEZqBDGPnx4YB3ShuHxRFg0) as the method of payment, except for the following cases: - Payment is solely for physical products - Payment is for digital content that may be consumed outside of the app itself (e.g. songs that can be played on other music players). - In-app virtual currencies must only be used within the app or game title for which they were purchased. - Developers must not mislead users about the apps they are selling nor about any in-app services, goods, content, or functionality offered for purchase. If your product description on Google Play refers to in-app features that may require a specific or additional charge, your description must clearly notify users that payment is required to access those features. This what i got from google ---

My payment is solely for physical products 😌 👍 Also, I’m not _ **technically** _ doing in-app purchases, the payment is done on the web, the in-app payment SDK is not used (because it obviously doesn’t exist at the moment). ---

Hi @domhnallohanlon and all others, I got this notice from google saying that from november 1st, 2020, a new billing policy will be activated in play store: " [New features to acquire and retain subscribers](https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2020/06/new-features-to-acquire-and-retain-subscribers.html)" Anything to do here in thunkable for me as a developer? ---

Read the policy and see if it applies to you. If it does, make the required changes. ---

Hi @domhnallohanlon. I was very interested to find this thread in the community and I see that In App payments is coming soon. Any idea when and can I ask does in app payment mean support only for that? In app payments incur high charges from google/apple while payment for physical goods or services such as tuition appear exempt, Will the proposed tools handle both types of payment? ---

We need this feature to bring ourselves up a level and offer tiered subscriptions and in app content Seems like a huge task. Is it possible? If so, Will it happen before June? Before December? ---

It’s something we’re working on at the moment - it is a pretty big task, particularly navigating the subtle policy differences between App Store and Play Store, but we’ll get there @jared! ![Screenshot 2021-02-13 at 12.05.23](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/c/4/c4aaa84ef7ae09f597785e16a8ee4f81de459c7e.png) ---

Will it only be In App purchases or will it also handle sale of real goods and services like tuition? As I mentioned earlier in this thread, these are exempt from the high charges levied by Apple and Google.
