Overview

The SKPaymentTransaction class defines objects residing in the payment queue. A payment transaction is created whenever a payment is added to the payment queue. Transactions are delivered to your application when the App Store has finished processing the payment. Completed transactions provide a receipt and transaction identifier that your application can use to save a permanent record of the processed payment.
