Creating in-app purchases for your app on the App Store is an easy process. The goal is to make the courses you sell on ClassOnLive through the web also available from the app.
To do this, you'll need to register your courses (products) on the Apple platform.
There are a few things to keep in mind to ensure everything works correctly and your app is synced with your ClassOnLive online school.
To allow your users to purchase your courses from your iOS app, you must make sure you set up in-app purchases correctly.
1-Login to your App Store Connect account and click on Agreements, Tax and Banking
2-Click on Set Up Tax, Banking and Contacts
3- Click on Add Bank Account and add your bank details
4-And once you finish click on Add
5-Then you must click on Complete Tax Forms
The tax forms and options you must complete depend
on your country of residence, as well as specific details about your business.
Also make sure to complete the US Tax Form, even if you are not a resident of the United States. In this case, simply select the value "No".
6-Go back to the App Store Connect and click on My Apps and then click on your app.
7-Click on In-App Purchases, in the Features section and click on the + to add a new product.
8-Complete the registration form
In Type always choose the Consumable option
Add a Reference name of your choice and the product ID
To obtain the product ID, you must go to your training panel that you teach in ClassOnLive and take the product ID of the course you are creating.
And finally, select a price. At Apple, you can only choose from a series of prices that they offer, so select the one that is closest.
9-The next step is to complete the name and description of the purchase in different languages. You can add more languages by clicking on the (+) symbol next to Localizations.
10-Finally, you must provide some information so that the Apple team can review your product.
Add an image of the course as well as an explanation of what it consists of.
Remember to Save the changes.
Please note :
-Only one-time payment courses are allowed. Subscription courses or individual course purchases are not allowed.
-After creating the product from the app, you must make sure not to delete it. Apple does not allow the same Product ID to be added to another product (even if the other has been deleted).
It is mandatory that the Product ID of the product in the App Store match the Product ID of the course in ClassOnLive in order to manage student registrations in their corresponding course.
If you accidentally delete a product from your app, you will need to regenerate the Product ID in ClassOnLive and regenerate the product again in the Store.
