A book should be a Non-consumable, but how to do it?

Question

Hello everyone,

Let's say I have a Books app with millions of books on sale at the same price. According to the Non-consumable definition, a book will not expire, so it should be Non-consumable. The problem is it is impossible to set millions of Non-consumables. But I can't use 1 Non-consumable product id for all of the books because a Non-consumable just can be purchased once.

So, how does everyone deal with this?

In-App Purchase

Answer 1

You can have thousands of IAPs, but not millions.

Are you talking about physical books?

Answer 2

You may support "virtual coins" as consumable type with which customer can purchase the books. Consumable in-app purchases are depleted as they’re used, and can be purchased again.

Please refer to this document https://developer.apple.com/app-store/business-models/ for more information. Thank you!
