  • In the "Reference Name" field, provide the product name.
  • Make sure the "Released for sale" box is checked.

In App Store Connect, prices are given in gross.

After you have deleted an IAP, it is not possible to create an IAP again for this product.

  • Under "Localizations," retype the product name.
  • Add a short product description in the "Description" field.
  • Under "Test Information," upload a screenshot of the product from the app. First of all, an image file is sufficient as a placeholder. However, this must be replaced with a full screenshot of the app product (including the menu, if applicable) as soon as possible and at the latest by the time Apple checks it.
  • In the "Review Notes" field, enter the following text: This IAP will unlock access to the digital product
  • Complete the sentence with the product name in quotation marks: This IAP will unlock access to the digital product "Bundle App-Shop."

Edit production server URL

  • Go to "App Information" under "General" in the left menu.
  • Under App Store Server Notifications, click Edit next to Production Server URL.
  • In the window that opens, paste the URL into the "Production Server URL" field.
