Hey @HugoCosta - thanks for your patience!
Correct!
Also correct!
I hope this thread donāt die.
Or is there any way of inapp purchase via web api?
Welcome to the community! This is still on our roadmap, hoping to have it out later this year.
Still not ready? I need is so much.

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 āabsoluteā 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).
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 donāt have to integrate payments, itās just done via the web with everything else in the app. Iām 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
have you published an APP using that
Not yet no, why?
I have no reason to think it wonāt be allowedā¦
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?
(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:
This what i got from google
My payment is solely for physical products
Also, Iām not technically doing in-app purchases, the payment is done on the web, the in-app payment SDK is not used (because it obviously doesnāt 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 "
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?
Itās something weāre working on at the moment - it is a pretty big task, particularly navigating the subtle policy differences between App Store and Play Store, but weāll get there @jared!
That really is great news @domhnallohanlon!
This is dope. Iād love to beta test if and whenever possible!
Thanks for getting back to me!
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.
