# com.apple.developer.storekit.external-purchase

A Boolean value that indicates whether your app can offer external purchases.

## Discussion

Qualifying apps may offer external purchases within the app. To offer external purchases in your app, complete a request for this entitlement. For more information about qualifying apps and to request this entitlement, see:

- [Using alternative payment options on the App Store in the European Union](https://developer.apple.com/go/?id=storekit-external-purchase-eu)
- [Distributing dating apps in the Netherlands](https://developer.apple.com/support/storekit-external-entitlement/)
- [Distributing apps using a third-party payment provider in South Korea](https://developer.apple.com/support/storekit-external-entitlement-kr/)

If your account receives this entitlement, which is also known as the StoreKit External Purchase entitlement, add it to your app by opening the project’s .`entitlements` file in Xcode. Then add the following key and set the corresponding value to `true`:

```xml
<plist>
<dict>
    <key>com.apple.developer.storekit.external-purchase</key>
    <true/>
</dict>
</plist>
```

For more information, see <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/StoreKit/external-purchase>.
