About In-App Purchase

In-App Purchase allows you to embed a store inside your app using the Store Kit framework. This framework connects to the App Store on your app’s behalf to securely process payments from users, prompting them to authorize payment. The framework then notifies your app, which provides the purchased items to users. Use In-App Purchase to collect payment for additional features and content.

内置购买使用Store Kit 框架在应用程序里内置一个商店。该框架把你的应用程序的行为连接到应用商店来安全地处理用户的支付，促使他们授权支付。然后框架给你的应用程序发送通知，该应用程序提供了用户购买的商品。使用内置购买可以为额外的功能和内容提供支付。

概论

At a high level, the interactions between the user, your app, and the App Store during the In-App Purchase process take place in three stages, as shown in Figure I-1. First, the user navigates to your app’s store and your app displays its products. Second, the user selects a product to buy and the app requests payment from the App Store. Third, the App Store processes the payment and your app delivers the purchased product.

从高层次来说，内置购买过程处理期间，用户，应用程序和应用商店之间的交互发生在三个阶段，如图I-1。首先，用户导航到你的应用程序商店，你的应用程序显示其产品。其次，用户选择一个产品购买，应用程序从应用商店请求支付。最后，应用商店处理该支付，你的应用程序传递被购产品。

Subscriptions Require Additional Application Logic

三、订阅需要更多应用逻辑

Apps that offer subscriptions need to keep track of when the user has an active subscription, respond to expiration and renewal, and determine what content the user has access to.

提供订阅的应用程序需要随时监控用户何时有一个活动订阅，响应到期和续期，然后决定用户访问什么内容。
