Submit IAP Apps

You can create in-app purchasable items for your IAP-integrated apps in the Appstore Developer Console. After you create the in-app items, you can download a JSON file that contains information about these IAP items. Use this JSON file to test your app with the Vega App Tester.

Create New In-App Items

To create an in-app item:

1. Navigate to your in-progress app on the Developer Console:

   1. Log in to your developer account on the Developer Console.
   2. Navigate to the Apps & Services tab to see your apps.
   3. Click the link to your app to view the app detail page.
2. Click the In-App Items tab to view, add, or edit In-App items for the app.

   

3. Use the Add Single IAP selector to choose the type of In-App Item that you want to create:
   • Consumable
   • Entitlement
   • Subscription

   A New Consumable/Entitlement/Subscription dialog opens. For example, here is how the CREATE NEW SUBSCRIPTION dialog looks like:

   

4. Enter values for the following fields:
   • Title: A string containing the title of your item. (Max length = 128 characters)
   • SKU: SKU stands for stock keeping unit. A SKU is a unique string that becomes the ID for the item. For example, the IAP consumable sample app creates an IAP with a SKU value of com.amazon.example.iap.consumable.
     
     Make the SKU unique across all IAP items in all of your apps.
     
     Make sure the SKUs used by your app match the SKUs that you submit to the Amazon Appstore. SKUs are case-sensitive. The SKU has a max length of 150 characters and can contain the characters a–z, A–Z, 0–9, underscores, periods, and dashes. If you crteate a subscription item, its SKU becomes the parent for the subscription term SKUs that you create later.

5. Click Add Consumable/Entitlement/Subscription to create the item, and the associated detail sections for the item appear. For example, here is how this looks like for a new subscription:

   

   The item Details page now displays additional sections, where you can configure additional data and information about your in-app items:

   • Description & Images: Enter a display name and description images for the item.
   • Subscription Terms (Subscriptions only): Specify subscription length and free trial information for the item.
   • Pricing (Consumables and Entitlements only): Set the price for the item.

Add Description and Images

Enter a Display Title and a Description for English (US). For multilingual support, you might also want to enter translations of the Display Title and the Description.

1. In the Description & Images section, add a Display Title and a Description for English (US).

   

2. (Optional) Click Update localization.

3. (Optional) Select checkboxes according to every language your app is localized into. That includes those for which you submit a localized APK.

   

4. (Optional) Click Update localization.

   You can now see new tabs for all the chosen languages.

5. (Optional) Enter a Display Title and a Description for every language.

   

6. (Optional) For every language you support, drag your icons, and drop them in the Icon section.

   Note: These icons appear on the customer's purchase dialog boxes.
   • Small icon (114px x 114px): A 32-bit 114x114 pixel icon for this purchasable item with a transparent background. Your app can display this icon to the user. Make this icon the same as the large icon.
   • Large icon (512px x 512px): A 32-bit 512x512 pixel icon for this purchasable item with a transparent background. Make this icon the same as the small icon.

Add Subscription Terms

Create new terms for your subscriptions. We define terms as the subscription periods provided to your customers. Every term has a unique Title and SKU. Here is a summary of what you need to know:

• Subscription Term: Subscription terms start on the date of purchase. Users may select the following values: Weekly, Bi-Weekly (every two weeks), Monthly, Bi-Monthly (every two months), Quarterly, Semi-Annually (every six months), or Annually (every twelve months).
• SKU: Enter an SKU (using the same guidelines as the item SKU) that corresponds to this subscription term. For example, com.amazon.example.iap.subscription.weekly. This SKU is a child SKU of the SKU that you entered on the item detail page.
• Free Trial: Specify an optional free trial period for the subscription. Valid values are No (no free trial), 7 days, 14 days, 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months.
• Are you charging for this subscription?: Yes, if you are charging for the subscription, No, if you intend the subscription to be free.
• If you specify that Yes, you are charging for the item, a field displays, allowing you to set the base price and currency for the item. After you set the base price, set the price for other currencies manually, or allow the Amazon Appstore to set those prices for you. If Amazon sets them, it's based on conversion rates along with taxes. Valid prices (in USD) can either be $0.00 or range from $0.99 to $299.99.

For example, you can add new Weekly and Monthly terms.

1. For Subscription Terms, click Add New Term.

2. Choose a Term Period, enter a Term SKU, and click Create Term.

   

3. Set up pricing for your term. If you are giving the user a free trial, just click Yes, and select the duration of the trial.

   

4. Repeat steps 1–3 for all the terms your app provides, such as Monthly, Annually, and so on.

   After you set pricing for all the terms, the Submit IAP button at the top of the screen becomes active.

5. Click Submit IAP when you are ready.

Add Pricing (For Consumables and Entitlements)

If your item is a consumable or an entitlement, go to the Pricing section to enter a price for your item. For example, if you create a consumable, it will look similar to the following image.

• Are you charging for this consumable/entitlement? Select Yes if you are charging for the item, or No if you intend the item to be free.
• If you select Yes, the system displays a field to set the base price and currency for the item. After you set the base price, you have the option to either manually set the price for other currencies, or allow the Amazon Appstore to set those prices for you, based on conversion rates from the base price. Valid prices (in USD) can either be $0.00 or range from $0.99 to $400.

Note: the price that you set for each marketplace is your suggested list price, which includes any VAT or similar taxes that apply in that marketplace. The system displays this list price to end users, along with a note that all prices include VAT. The system deducts VAT or similar taxes from the list price when calculating royalties.

Download IAP data for testing

When you have entered your in-app items, you can download a JSON-formatted data file containing the data for your items. Use this file when you test your app using the Amazon App Tester.

To create the JSON file:

1. Navigate to the In-App Items tab of your app.
2. Click the Export Multiple IAPs button, and select JSON as the format.
