Submit an in-app purchase

Submit your in-app purchase or subscription to App Review once you create it in App Store Connect.

For your first in-app purchase or subscription, or when adding a new type, include it in a new app version.

Ensure your in-app purchase or subscription has the Ready to Submit status before submitting it for review. If it doesn't have this status, complete any missing information.

Learn how to submit in-app purchases and subscriptions with the App Store Connect API.

Submit an in-app purchase for the first time

When submitting an in-app purchase or subscription for the first time, you must submit it with a new app version. If there are multiple in-app purchases or subscriptions related to that version, submit all of them together. Once App Review approves one or more in-app purchases or subscriptions for your app, you can submit more in-app purchases or subscriptions without a new app version.

  1. In Apps, select the app you want to view.

  2. In the sidebar, click the app version.

  3. On the right, scroll down to the In-App Purchases and Subscriptions section.

  4. Click Select In-App Purchases or Subscriptions, or if you’ve already started selecting in-app purchases or subscriptions, click Edit.

  5. In the “Add In-App Purchases or Subscriptions” dialog, select the in-app purchases or subscriptions you want to submit.

  6. Click done.

Submit your app for review when you're ready. To automatically release your in-app purchase or subscription upon approval, choose at least one country or region for availability. To submit your in-app purchase or subscription for review without publishing it on the App Store, choose Remove from Sale.

Once App Review approves the in-app purchase or subscription, its status updates to Developer Removed from Sale.

If you've already submitted an in-app purchase or subscription with your app and later decide to add additional in-app purchases or subscriptions, you can do so without resubmitting your app version.
