Cloneder provides the building blocks to implement In-App purchases specific to your app. Example code is provided which handles the cases of a one-off pro version purchase, a subscription, and consumable credits.

By default the in-app purchases plugin is not installed. You will need to install it by running the command ionic cordova plugin add cc.fovea.cordova.purchase --variable BILLING_KEY="[BILLING_KEY]"

With [BILLING_KEY] replaced with your billing key in your Android Play store console.

The example code in the InAppPurchasesService service will update the premium flag on the User model for pro/subscription purchases, and update the credits field for consumable products.

    constructor(private userService: UserService, private inAppPurchases: InAppPurchasesService) {}

    premiumActionClick() {
      if(!this.inAppPurchases.isAvailable()) {
        console.error('Oops, need to install in-app purchases plugin')
        return
      }

      if(!this.userService.getCurrentUser().premium) {
        this.inAppPurchases.order('premium')
      } else {
        this.doPremiumAction()
      }
    }


    creditActionClick() {

      if(this.userService.getCurrentUser().credits === 0) {
        this.inAppPurchases.order('credits10')
        // or show a popup with options with options of credit packs to buy
      } else {
        // This would usually call to the server code which would then decrement the credits for the user
        this.doCreditAction()
      }
    }

Check the example code for the suggested id's to use when registering the in-app purchase products in your app stores.

Please refer to the Android, iOS and plugin documentation for the full details on in-app purchases.

Stripe integration

For the web/PWA version you can use Stripe for purchases (and also in the mobile app versions for non-digital products where you are not required to use In-app purchases)

For subscription products you must first create a Plan in the Stripe dashboard for each recurring subscription product. Use the same id for the plan as for the corresponding app store subscription products.
